Quote - As a designer, I can only say what motivates me or what I find interesting.  Being completely honest, I find it more interesting to design female clothes, female accessories, female morphs and so on.  I get bored making male stuff and I find that most male clothes are just variations on the same thing -- it's just not interesting to me.  You have a few base items and you can really get away with texturing for variety.  I'm talking contemporary clothes and not sci-fi/historical/fantasy.

That doesn't mean that occasionally I get a wild hair or I won't make some cargo shorts next week.  It just means that in general, it's just more fun and interesting to make stuff for the gals.

And this perfectly encapsulates why clothing is "all hookerware, all the time" in most Poser storefronts.  I am frustrated because I have outgrown the vendors imaginations.  Too much content is just the same stuff, over and over and over.  Fortunately, this isn't the case with the folks that build props - which is where more and more of my money is going to.

BTW Netherworks, it may not be interesting or exciting, but I really could use updated Hair Control System modules for the G2 figures and Miki 2 - I'll buy them again if necessary, but I really hate having to keep a separate copy of Poser Pro (2008) on my system just to rework hair.
