Quote - Seriously - not naysaying at all. I'm telling you that you're going to have to step your game up. I mean you have to Sell it.

Right now, Antonia is like the Windows Phone 7 of meshes - it has potential, does what the other big figures do, but it is up against one hell of an entrenched set of vertical markets. 

That's the landscape. Now do something about it. Forge it into your own. Push it beyond the limits. Make it stand out. 

If you can't cut it, then we can all sit around here five years later when Next Big Thing comes out, and we can add one more figure name to the roll call of Island Of Misfit Meshes. It'll come up when some other idealistic people with a grudge against DAZ proclaim how their new figure will take down Victoria. 

Now get to work... time is wasting.

I find this encounter interesting. I'm taken to task by mods for being "unfriendly" but this? I guess you're exempt. Interesting. :glare:

I'm not paid for any of my work on this. Unlike the other figure creator mentioned in this thread, I do not do this for a living. I'm involved in this project because basically people are keen to see this figure succeed, Poser succeed and that is my whole motivation. I will gain nothing from this but the satisfaction that people have enjoyed what we've been able to do. And it's really important to note that I'm but a tiny bit-player: the key people are the real movers and shakers that have made Antonia who she is, made this project what it is. You probably know them. They are the big names: I'm nobody. All I do is shaders, and even that, with HUGE help from someone who actually understands shaders. I'm just transcribing.

Antonia led the way in telling the Poser market that figures for Poser don't have to come from a so-called "established source". If people like Antonia, it will be on her merits, not because I've crammed her down their throats.

She proved a point.

To some.
