It'd be a lose/lose situation for most texture makers, since all the  DAZ human figures are now free.  Are you seriously suggesting the texture makers should give you money as well as their work?

Believe it or not a good texture takes longer to make than a model.   I'm not talking about the cut and stick resource kits with pre made skins here; I mean building it up from photos and creating something other than the thousands of generic sets out there.

All of the above is why I have all but quit making textures, other than the odd one now and again.  Any future ones won't be human skin, anyhow.  There's a lower percieved value to textures, even if the creator sweats blood to get it right.  They sell low, considering the work undertaken, and are gone in a few weeks.

Poser content in general is under valued.  Yes, there is some crap out there, same as anywhere, but for every lousy model/texture set, there are at least a dozen very good ones and a high proportion of superb stuff, the equal of any models elsewhere.  And all for stupidly low prices.  Don't believe me?   Check out the Squid.  It ain't so much they are over priced, it's that we here in Poserdom are spoiled rotten.
