I got into using Poser originally in 1998 because I want to make illustrations for my vampire novel that had primarily male characters. Then I discovered the lack of clothing options which has continued to this day with current male Poser figures. I had to shelve my idea of illustrations. So, what happened? I ended up doing pinup art instead. Now a friend of mine is working on a novel and I was inspired again to try to do some character images and ran into the clothing problem. I had a little rant a few weeks ago because I needed a floor length coat that resembled a photo I had. The coat is described in the text of the novel and was inspired by that photo. Luckily Glitterati3D came to my rescue and modeled a coat that would work for the character and then put it into the free stuff area. But there is still a lot of clothing types that could be made for male characters (i.e. Fallout3 style, Post Apocalyptica type clothes). As my friend's tale stands at the moment there are three male characters and one female. I do use M4 now and when DAZ put out the fourth gen characters they got lazy on facial morphs so it's at least for me difficult to get the looks that I want for these males. Ah well, I keep looking and hoping when it comes to male oriented Poser items.
