Quote - If they had a really good morph pack equivalent to morphs ++, I think they would be more things to more people and therefore more "attractive" for their flexibility.

This, right here. This is what Poser needs for its default figures.

We can only go with what we see. Now if you want to count all the crappy commercials with the uber-crappy animation featuring the default Poser 4 'toon figures, well...

Tell you what- come up with a better and verifiable metric, and we'll go with that.

Quote - Lack of dynamic clothing, in slutwear yeah, but who needs dynamic for three cloth triangeles and three threads.

Not like the marketplace is overflowing with clothing fit for a True Scotsman, either... ;)

IOW, the point still stands - big lack of dynamic clothing in the marketplace, which is QED for a general lack of usage for the stuff. Like always, if you have a better proof, then let's see it.

Quote - The OP put up one picture, the intent, "Hey!  This ain't as bad as the v thing fanbois try to make it sound!"  The third post,nitpick the eyes, and within the first page, off on the inevitable treatices on why it's not "realistic".

Finally - some red meat to latch onto! Thought I was going to starve for a moment there...

'k, couple o' bits: 

  1. I personally don't nitpick on others' work, unless it's a commercial product or they specifically solicit merciless criticism. Just not my thing (probably because in spite of my years around this biz, I still suck at this whole arteest thing. Now give me some code to review? Stand back, bitches... )

  2. Like it or lump it, some folks want realistic, and view CG through that lens. BFD.

Quote - Then come the inevitable treatces on why the "average poser user" won't learn to do some things

You're welcome to propose a hypothesis as well, yanno. 

Personally, I blame time constraints, coupled with a learning curve that scares most mortals. Nothing wrong with making those two bits easier, is there? Would you feel threatened by such a thing, perhaps? Lord knows I don't. I prefer eyeballing digital images without the sickening cross-eyed balloon-tittied slack-jawed semi-rigor-mortis poses, thanks much. Some personality would be nice too.

Quote - I don't even look at any galleries, simply because 99.99% of what's there is not what I want to do, therefore, is not interesting, and not important.

You should sometime... most of the time it's the equivalent of watching Sharknado 60 times in a row, but sometimes you come across some rather kick-ass stuff that makes it all worthwhile.
