Renderosity has a lot of Quality Clothes, Hair, and Props, and also Figure textures. They match up with anything at DAZ. The hard part is Breaking the monopoly of the DAZ Figures. Why. When they come out with a figure. They already have Clothes and Hair in the works that are comming out at the same time. They usually are some common everyday cloths that is a must. and they are off. Then you all ready know they are comming out with the Charactures counter part person. They have that reputation.
If you want to compete, you can't come out with one figure. Male or Female. You need a committed package working with a group of clothing artist. If it is not coorinated, you are waisting your time. DAZ you know what is comming, they announce it in advance. The only reason Posers Figures don't match up is Quality Figures and Clothing. If you had Quality Figures with Poser. There wouldn't be this conversation. I do have some nice G2 Poser Figures. But as mentioned before. They don't compare with DAZs charatures, as there meshes fall apart. I only use them as background figures.
Poser has to coordinate with some good artist. I've Scene a little bit of ANTONIA. Then there is the other figure mentioned as a good Male Characture. Something to considder is how do you use the dials match up with each other. You have to remember there are always new people comming into the Poser Comunity. If they have to figure out 2 different styles of how to manipulate the charactures which may be different. This is something to take into account.
I only get to go throught the forum everyonce in a while, as I am finishing up on a full lenght movie, and have very little extra time to look at every thing. If I need something I look at what's new. I have every thing I will use as the need comes up marked, and buy at that time.
I am happy with M4 and V4, but by no means wouldn't be open to a Quality Female and Male figure. But with out cloths that work well. Well lets say my movies are not people running around nude all the time. Lets face it. How many times have you walked down the street and every body walking down the street was nude. I like a little realality here.
