Quote - Hey Osper  :) nice to see you!

I took a break from poser for a while and this post expresses many on my own wonderings about what have changed while I was off

I see the same motifs reapeating again and again...

However since the title wonders if hobby 3D is a dyng art, I would way that hobby 3D artists now more than ever before are split to hobby content creators (professional wannabe) and buyers-renderers.

However those hobby vendors with tech knowledge at P6 level keep the magor part of products away from using new features of new poser versions. New Poser figures once again not a bright advertisment of all the new features and get treated from SM as plain content.

Maaaaaaaany new figures - so many that none of those gets real attention even those with a whole site backing them up.

And all the victoria lovers for the first time can't use the new version as easy as before in poser

Have I missed anything?

:biggrin:

Just a couple of things.......

Once you get genesis working in Poser, you discover real quickly that there isn't actually much in the way of content for her. 

Most of the content for genesis 1 at DAZ doesn't have Poser Companion files, so the Poser user is going to have to do quite a bit of work to get the content working - and most are not going to do it.  I have about 2 more weeks to try to get the shoes I have purchased working in Poser or they will be going back.  I have no idea why vendors wouldn't make Poser CF's, I guess they don't want our money - their loss, not mine.

As for genesis outside of DAZ, same story, only moreso.

I do agree with you about the Vendors.  I have outgrown the Poser 6 feature set.  Fortunately, 2014 makes vendors less important than they used to be.

Shoes are still my main hang-up however - that is the only item that I have had zero success in conversions.
