Quote - A very nicely stated opinion, I disagree but I also agree that the DAZ community is growing

but numbers across the board for the best selling artist disagree with you.

Actually they don't. Keep in mind where we both vendor at. You vendor at a smaller brokerage where it would be suicide to really abandon your Gen4 customers until Genesis works well in Poser.  You really don't have that many people trying genesis to make a reasonable opinion.  I know people that have made enough money to leave Gen4 behind and those not interested in Genesis and continue to make Gen 4 items. But sometime it boils down to what we like and what we are comfortable with.

Quote - now we will have to see how well Dson helps Genesis and the venders.

It's still early, however since Genesis has been out for a year, and some PAs have made the switch and some are starting to get their feet wet. I know my experience with genesis have been very positive... and i'm not just talking about only selling.. I can do so much more with my guys that I was severely restricted in Gen4.

Quote - I find it interesting that you mostly use male figures as as you know most use the female and most of the venders that make a living at this make products for female figures and few for male figures but they also have to pay the bills.

So you should know that there are vendors that actually make a living only making male-oriented products and they pay their bills? But it really comes down to what you're good at and like to do. I know this won't replace my day job considering I may WAY more doing that than providing male-oriented products. But the fact that I don't rely on content to pay my bills allows me to support those that want to render males.  And the fact that I've made money from content to pay bills, freeing money up to do trips to Europe and Asia, is quite the bonus. ;)
