Years ago, I thought about having a 'Dream Team' figure for charity. Modeled & rigged by whoever was, hair by Koz, skin textures by Catharina etc. Hire the best people, give them some direction while still allowing them creative latitude, give them a financial incentive and an artistic/technical challenge. Manage the project. The participant's reputations will help tremendously. Even then, beyond a couple of names I couldn't say who does the best of this or that so as always, ad nauseum, market it.

There probably hasn't been more than one or two radically new, ideas mentioned here if that. It's all been done before. DAZ just happened to do enough things right at the right time when there wasn't much more than Posette. The environment has changed greatly but some fundamentals aren't much different than when some guy was selling stone fertility goddeses. There is more than enough talent here, it just needs to be coordinated toward a common goal. All of the gurus need to get together draft something resembling a plan and present it to Mr. Cooper or whover. If you think SM's plans will do the trick, sit back and wait for it to bear fruit. Otherwise, get together and find find a backer. At a minimum, have a program manager and a marketing person.

This is a small, rather quirky market and it is in a state of unprecedented flux. Yeah, some of that upstart, Open Sauce, guerilla stuff may be of value but what is needed now IMO, is a sense of unity, stability and some assurance that whatever comes out won't be gone tomorrow. That requires real organization. No one wants to invest in something where in a few weeks they're gonna be asking 'whats up with X?'
