JoePublic, you were too quick for me. I’d deleted my comment, deciding it was too snarky, but you read it in the interval. Thanks for taking it with more good humor than some might have. I can understand the challenges of sharing your work – which I do find quite interesting). OTOH, I’m not sure how effective the demonstration factor is in the long run vis a vis the future of Poser figures. The vast majority don’t have the talent or inclination to duplicate it, and will use what is provided. Unless you or someone else actually provide something then IMO, the effect will be nil – especially if you’re going in a different direction from the trend.

Some things, like Koz’s transmapped hair, probably would have been taken up by someone else and succeeded even if he had only published images and described the technique. I think that there though, the innovation was clear and compelling enough to even the most novice Poser user. While I do think that your figures have some clear advantages, I’m not sure they’re obvious enough to have that kind of effect. Who knows – as long as you enjoy the work, it’s all good.
