Quote - Poser can serve as a good starting point for freelance artists, but to expect it to be the sole bread winner is pretty delusional. There is a point you reach where your models are worth far more than you can sell them for, but you'll never get their true value selling to a hobbiest community.

Well said.  

I have a rolling renewal for Daz3D PC membership, and now I'm seriously considering dropping that.  Almost all the content released these days is for their Genesis figure and for use inside DS, which isn't my weapon of choice, in a manner of speaking.

I don't mind paying the price equivalent to two decent hamburgers for one well-created digital content product for Poser use, as far as my being a total hobbyist is concerned.  (But I won't skip a meal just to buy Poser content !).  Then again, I tend to agree with the observation that lower quality has crept into several Poser content marketplaces, along with lower prices. 

Professional-use 3D content (typically for use in 3DSMax, for example) sells for a much higher price, and there is no way I need or care to spend that kind of money.  I'm simply not in the market for that sort of product.
