Many, many moons ago, somwhere in a magazine shop, I found a PC magazine with a Poser 1 (one) demo on a 1.44 disk. Anybody remember those? There was also a voucher to "upgrade to Poser2.
I bought Poser2, and was hooked. Or, ha-ha- should I say "lost".
For a very long time I had limited hobby funds, so I bought no content at all. I just could not.
Then I found some truly simple apps to build stuff myself.
One of those I still use almost every day ; Anim8or. A 3D modeling app. Ha-ha, at the time also on a 1.44 disk.
But when figures started going up and up and up in polycount, neither my funds, nor my PC's could follow.
In the end ? And over the many-many years, I bought a grand total of "read closely", 3 items. And unfortunatly, I regret all 3 of them.
Little one. =>Still the most beautifull face out there.
Loretta
And her male counterpart who's name escapes me now.
Little One had that remarcable face, but being an unwelded mesh, there was no use for her.
Loretta? Perhaps I might dust her off, but the odd poly distribution (required for what she does BTW) limits her use beyond that. And the same goes for her male friend.
So? I build, and make what I need.
Yes, I mostly use Poser figures, but with Blender (and other apps) a mesh is just a mesh and can be morphed into whatever shape we like or need. Every day clothes are that hard to make at all, and with the newer Poser 10 and PP2014 tools, any clothing can fit any figure anyway.
Result: In all those Poser years I bought 3 items, and would not do it again.
Sorry.
