The attached image uses only free materials on the car, as you can see nothing is missing!
The Free version of the car materials comes with 42 Materials. EVERY shader is included in the free package, The Market Place version comes with the full (and updated from the last set) manufacturer color matched paints and interior color sets for quick and easy application. you also get some free procedural materals for ground planes and light boxes. A PDF document with scene setup instructions and car rendering tips for people new to rendering cars in poser. At the end of the document is a full listing of known free car models (well the high quality ones I know of), with links to there download pages, and website links to great free 3D websites (such as dmi-car models and 3d-model blogspot)
Below is a listing of each material catagory, in brackets is the the number of color variations for that catagory, (free/full)
BodyChameleon (4/9)
BodyClearcoat (6/17)
BodyMatte (1/6)
BodyMettalic Clearcoat (8/28)
BodySilver (1/3)
BodySparkle (13/13)
BodyStudio Glazing (5/11)
Glass (3/6)
Glass Moulded (3/12)
Grilles (2/4)
InteriorCarpet (3/10)
InteriorFelt (3/10)
InteriorLeather (3/10)
interiorMetallic Fittings (2/4)
InteriorNylon (3/10)
InteriorPlastic (3/10)
InteriorSeatbelt (3/10)
Metals (Anodized, Chrome, Painted) (4/19)
Plastics (1/4)
Rubber (2/4)
The full version will be around $5 (I havent submitted a product in years so I dont know the costs)
I believe profit should come from sales figures, not margins. If you sell a good product at a high price, of course it will sell, but if you sold it a low price, it will sell extremely well. with no real upkeep costs, its the way to go!
