I have to agree with aeikema 100%. Especially item 3. Everything is beginning to look like a copy of everything else.
The sad part of this is, there's no shortage of new things to model. I've been begging around behind the scenes to get some dynamic clothing done... simple things like a dynamic pair of jeans and tee shirt for M4.
I could go on.
I used to beta test clothing and props for another site. Fugazi's assumption that the less you cover up the fewer conforming problems you have is spot on! I suspect the very hardest thing to conform is a long skirt, at least judging by the problems I saw in some of the items I tested.
I guess I'm really quite different from the typical Renderosity customer. My purchases here are typically scenery, props, and characters. I buy male clothing that could be worn on the street and get most of the clothes for my girls over at 9Mbi because I like the "Ann Taylor" classy look.
How many stores are there out there selling "Victoria's Secret" and "Frederick's of Hollywood" styles vs. "J.C. Penney" and "Macy's?" That ought to tell us something. I'm not beating on the people who do fantasy gear... that's a whole different collection and I can see where it has a place in the Poserverse. I'm beating on the thousand thongs and nothing-but-nipple-covering skimpies that seem to dominate here. And I'm not a prude. I do some sex scenes. I had a fair number of them included in "Encyclopedia Sexualis" last year. However, if I'm rendering sex, I have my characters as nature intended them for that activity: nude.
Otherwise, my characters are in realistic tableaus, doing things that call for either casual or business street clothes. Those are hard to find.
