Quote - I haven't jumped on the V5-6, Dawn, Genesis bandwagon either.  I'm nowhere near the limits of what one can do with good old Vicky4 and there's the not inconsequential matter of much monies worth of Vicky's clothing.  

My strategy is to thank (profusely!) the artists for continuing to support Vicky4 by making products for her.  Despite most stuff finding it's way onto the sleazy Russian/Chinese file sharing sites within microseconds of being released, I buy the items I like.  Yes, I actually spend money for stuff.  (all you downloaders pay attention to this fact.  I know you're here reading the forums).  Money is a powerful incentive to continue making stuff for a certain figure.  A few times,  when I've seen something I REALLY liked, I've asked a vendor if they'd port their product to Vicky4.  I don't believe that whinning in a forum is of much use. 

I am with you, I spend real money every month a large chunk of it on more stuff for V4 so I am glad vendors are still making stuff for her.  I always buy the stuff I use, including all the software and never give copies to my friends of family.

It is great that others make free stuff but I must admit I rarely use it but I see no justification for stealing someone's work just because it has been ripped off.

 

 

 

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.
