Quote - I'll go you one better. V4 had some of the raciest, sexy and slutty clothes around. That includes V3. I'm begining to think that despite what people say they want or like they actually LIKE buying racy clothes for V4. I mean, SOMEBODY was buying them and despite what a lot of people say, people were buying the slut stuff.
Keep in mind it's forumites that your listening to when people are saying they don't want racy or skimpy cloths. This, or any forum, represents a very small segment of the user base. Looking through the galleries here, at RDNA, and even at DAZ tells a completely different story. Keep in mind that galleries also represent only a small portion of the user base as well.
I'm not very vocal about it here (for obvious reasons), and I may be representative of only a small portion of the user base as well (though I don't think I am). But for what it's worth, I didn't start using Poser so I could make images of everyday people doing everyday things. Sure, I may make an "everyday" image every now and then, but it's the exception rather than the rule. I started using Poser so I could make "fantasy" type images (for lack of a better term). I want to make images of things you don't see everyday. I live reality, and for reality all I need to do is look around - it's everywhere!!
I've always been a fan of Frazetta, Vellejo, etc., but don't have the artistic ability to draw/paint human figures worth a darn. So, Poser, DS, and Carrara give me the ability to make fantasy images with human figures (toons too). Yes, I am guilty of making NVIATWAS images! I am guilty of buying more skimp wear, skank wear, slut wear, or whatever you want to call it than everyday clothing. Yes, I have bought impracticle armor too, because I'm not trying to create reality, or create historicaly accurate images. I'm trying to make 3D images of worlds/realms that never existed with fantasy heroines, an occasional "pin-up" style render, and the occasional contemporary or fantasy image with more practicle clothing (usually because I want to either use a really nice scene I picked up, or some outstanding quality clothing).
IMVHO, and this is just my opinion, though there is a lot of ancillary evidence that supports my opinion, everyday wear is not as popular due to the simple fact that most Poser/DS users are using content to create 3D images that aren't a true reflection of reality. I think many (most?) users are like me, they want to create Fantasy, SiFi, Pin-up, etc. type of images, that are not true depictions of everyday reality. I you want images that are a true depiction of reality, a digital camera is much easier, faster, and cheaper than Poser (though if you want Pin-ups - modeling fees add up in a hurry :blink: ).
