Quote -   This has a negative effect for vendors - why should I buy a $14.95 outfit for Dawn, when I can take a V4 outfit I already own into the fitting room and 90 seconds later, that outfit is native for Dawn.  It certainly isn't perfect, but browse the galleries sometimes - the enduser isn't looking for perfection (regardless of what some forum members believe), they are looking for "good enough", especially when you consider how cheap the Poser/DS user base is.

 

I guess it all depends on your quality requirements..  For me the 90 second conversion is a myth as far as being equivalent to something I would purchase.  I cant speak for what people feel their time is worth.. but for me 14.95 is way less than an hours work and it takes way more than an hour to get a conversion to a quality level equivalent to a purchased product.  Its too bad there is no way to legally distribute/sell 3rd party conversions... to me that would be a huge opportunity for someone and I would expect there is quite a market.   Auo-conversions will never get to a level that is comparable to natively designed product.  Every item will need individual attention and time, thats just the nature of the beast.  If the tech can overcome or circumvent that reality it really will be the next leap forward
