@Laurie - I'm in full agreement about the quality of the clothing you call "slutwear" that comes our way. (I've always called it whorewear!) One of the things that bug me is the fact that the outfits offered today are entirely unrelaistic, and I am too damn old to live in a fantasy world. I'd like to see more realistic clothing and accessories that are more in tune with the regular world, not some pedophile's fantasies. I've spent the last year learnng how to model clothing in Blender, and although I have made good progress, I have a long way to go. I'm not so concerned about what will sell as I am concerned about availability. I've heard a lot of complaints about the stuff offered today. I have to think that this clothing, so revealing and brief, is much easier to model that something that is more realistic. Or am I just cynical? The forum here has been very helpful to me in learning Poser and the processes, but the learning curve is steep for a burnt out old man like me.
I think the Poser community has too long depended on Daz to give them the fgures they need. I have nothing against Daz - I have Studio 4 but I just can't get the hang of the interface, so I don't spend much time n it. I've seen Antonia come along and now we have Anastasia. Good starts, although I am not fond of Antonia, because her eyes bug me - she always looks half asleep! But it's a start, and I think that the Poser community needs to become more self-reliant and not depend on others to produce what is needed. It is an interesting process, and the results amaze me...
