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

 

I think that might be one of the issues that, from some veiw points, that there appears there may be a drop off in the interest in 3D art.  There is a distinct lack of content for Genesis and a lot of what is in sale is a V4 item re-worked.  I know that some Genesis vendors state that the Genesis items sell well and they probably do, but some of that may be to do with the lack of competition in the Genesis content field.  Whatever the viewpoint the potential market for content has been split making it less of an attraction for some vendors.

That all leads on to your second point in that the new features in Poser can be used create new, or modify content without buying from a vendor, yet again reducing the potential market.  If that is the case it could well be that the forums are quiet because so many users are developing content that they used to purchase in the past.

I know I spend as much here at Rendo as I ever did, if not more, but these days it is concentrated on scenes, materials and tutorials,  very little is spent on any figure related content.

All of this could lead to a different question than the title of this thread - Are you enjoying your 3D art more in the last year or less?   

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
