Quote - But otherwise, seeing the "process" is something that any Poser user can surely gain something from, I think?
Absolutely! Work in Progress threads are often great learning resources for others, particularly when they generate "how did you do that?" type questions and discussions about tools. Posting screenshots of process and wireframes is always good, someone always learns something, sometimes it's the artist him/herself when someone offers constructuive criticism.

Don't worry too much about that, people are surprisingly resourceful. If someone wants your stuff they'll click on your profile to check if you have a store, or they'll contact you to ask how they can get hold of it.
Lets face it, if you're a vendor making poser content, every person reading these forums is a potential customer. Does this mean that every thread in every forum is an appropriate platform to advertise your products? No it doesn't.
I think the forum rules say you may not promote marketplace products in this forum, I'm not sure, but it's not a good idea anyway, what if everyone did it?
Imagine if 30 or 40 vendors all decided to start threads here about their latest pack of 200 new colours for some hairdo, bumping their threads every day to keep them at the top of the page to get the most hits. It would kill this forum, people wanting simple help would get pushed down the page so fast they'd never get an answer.
Quote - At some point, I may even do a whole image series showing how I model from start to finish.
That would be excellent, I'm sure a lot of people would love to see that. Just avoid a "check in store for details" tone and it'll be a hit.
