don't any of you find the repetitiveness boring, not to mention expensive?

I probably won't pick up V5 for awhile if and when they do release her. I simply have too much v4 content now and it will take a good long while for that much to be released for v5. and hopefully someone will have some sort of converter between the two versions for clothes, etc. But I don't find it overly expensive, no. Look around, some of the models for other 3D's stuff is much more expensive than poser things. Everyone always has mega sales and this is something I love to do.
There are folks out there who dump hundreds of dollars on crafting, scrapbooking, woodworking... heck, have you priced tradiional oil paint and canvas lately, DP? Talk about an investment and once the paint goes on the canvas you can't use it again and you can't retexture something or use materials to reuse the same content elsewhere and change it up because it's all stuck to a canvas. So why is it a problem if folks spend a few dollars a week on their hobby or pastime?
Yes, there are some who create freebies. And I'm extremely grateful for them and a good deal of my runtime consists of such content. However, artists spend time creating all the content and resources. My dad is an artist, though he creates custom reproductions of weaponry. He puts time and effort into each one and charges thousands of dollars for the items he makes. No one should be ashamed if they make a product that others wish to have and will pay for.
Even in the electronic world, it's not inexpensive to create... time is money... also textures have to be found or bought or created.. programs, computers bought and storefronts paid for and the staff to run them - those folks at Daz have mouths at home to feed too, right? And the folks here at Rendo and the other 3D sites. So they should never release a new product... never make supporting content, never make upgrades? Never try to run a profitable business?
in the end, however, I want what will help me create the pictures in my head. If your Posette would do that, and if the content supporting her existed, then I would happily use her, but as I've said. I haven't seen pictures that convince me so far, and I haven't been able to use her.
By the way, your files when I went to download them are not there. Said, 'file does not exist' so you need to re upload them - Tried Eve and the Posette one. Also, I notice you had altered the base figure, so would I need to find that somewhere? Just curious. I'm still waiting to try your Posette and see.
