Quote - I'm with vitachick, I've already got too many gigabytes of characters. Instead of developing a whole new line of meshes, why doesn't someone create a line of reasonably priced male textures for the M4 and Genesis Male? You can get some amazing V4 textures for incredibly low prices, but not M4/Genesis Male.
Just saying, it can often take longer to build quality textures than it does to build a quality outfit, even with using a program like ZBrush.
One of the reasons V4 texture/character sets are so cheap is because there's so many of them available. The more selection of something there is, the more competition, so that affects pricing too. That's just the nature of retail.
Plus there are more "parts" to texture on M4 than there are on V4, more transparency maps to make function properly, and more options required - body hair, no body hair, facial hair, no facial hair, etc.
Then factor in lower sales volume for male content than female content, which means the artist is doing at least half again as much work, for a fraction of the sales.
So, what would be your idea of a reasonably priced texture set for M4? Or any male for that matter?
