Personally I like the bonus of furniture and more cars along with the shader options...
I'm hoping there'll be another vehicle of four along soon from yourself and Tom, BB? One or two more vintage ones would be good in that too... oh yeah, with pearl hub caps as an option? :lol:
But sure, I'd also buy straight forward material packs. Provided there's a Monkey Green colour option for each material category, of course... and I guess merchant resource versions could be good for the marketplace too?
Laurie, I'd guess there are perhaps two reasons I can think of that SM chose not too bundle more, better material library presets with Poser 9/2012...
First off, BB was still perfecting everything he had... ...but moreover, I guess they recognise that having these as after-market parts stimulates sales in the content marketplaces... and I guess, conversely, the activity in these marketplaces, and associated galleries and forums, plays a big part in driving Poser upgrade sales?
Cap that off with newbie Poser users, Amazon sales etc, being driven in to the marketplaces by the need to obtain better materials and figure content, etc... sounds like a sort of "magic circle" is being defined by that equation?
...well, that's my "aftermarket" hypothesis for the day. LOL :lol:
