I'm "innovating" for 12 years now, but I didn't do it because I wanted, but because I had to.

I had to because even the DAZ figures weren't good enough for my taste, so I had to learn to rig and to sculpt and to map to bring them up to a standard I was happy with.

But while it's nice to now have the skills to create basically anything I want, if DAZ (or Smith Micro or someone else) had given me ready made figures that looked and worked as my custom figures do now, I would have happily avoided the joint editor and the set-up room and the text-editor and the cr2-editor and all the other techie stuff and just had "fun" with Poser, making pretty pictures to show off in the gallery.

Just like everybody else.
