Quote - A few years back I was a vendor. but I quit once I saw I was wasting my time as a vendor for little return. so I carried on making content for my own usage... but about 3 years ago that came to an end when I fell and wrecked my right wrist.

The one time I was a vendor here, 2005 I think, I maxed my 3-item limit for new vendors with just one character set for M3, in a relatively short period of time. I don't know if that limit still exists since I haven't looked into it recently. Personally I don't even think it was all that great. I barely knew what I was doing and I definitely wouldn't release the same item today. I'd be embarrassed to.

But, given that male characters have always been seen as having no demand for them, that was enough to prove to me that there was definitely decent money to be made as a vendor, so long as there's at least a moderate demand for what you're making. And it completely disproved that there's no demand for male content, at least for me it did.

There are several vendors who make their living doing just this, while many others barely make anything. It all comes down to what you're making and the quality of your work. 

Quote - also, I've considered starting a thread on photo realistic rendering in poser in the forum.

I've not bothered since I know that certain ppl will come in demanding to know why anyone would want to do this.. so.. not worth the arguements that will then ensue.

There's no reason not to start a thread on that. You can always just ignore those people, and should. Plenty of interest in photo realism for a thread on that to generate good hits and learn something from.
