He is correct in saying that there are some character packages that do not have any full body nude shots of the texture. I'm not going to name the vendors but I was a little annoyed that not one of the demo shots of the said characters were a full front and back shot of just the skin texture--all the demo images were clothed ones. I understand the deal about people cruising the store while they're at work (naughty naughty!) but at the very least the last image in the grouping should show the full skin texture.

My main bugaboo of late is that so VERY few of the vendors describe and/or credit the lighting that was used in their demo images and if the lighting does not come from another vendor they should at least include the light set used in their demo images. I am glad to see tags on some images saying which version of Poser was used for the image but it's not descriptive enough. From careful observation I'm sure that while some recent character packages use Poser's SSS, they're not also using IDL for the demo images. And they should say so in their promo credits. At least a few vendors are putting in their description that their characters will look different under different light set ups. That's good. But vendors should credit their light setups!!!! This is also my complaint about gallery postings. People do not say anything about their light set ups and in most cases don't even say what version of Poser was used for the image. And especially with vendor demos, if they're using Reality/Lux, it would be nice if they would indicate that on the demo image. Some vendors do, some don't. But to me the light setup is a key factor in the demo image. As much as seeing the entire skin texture in front and back views.
