I've not been visiting the stores (or really using Poser very much) for quite a while now. At the moment, I'm in need of images again and so here I am but I'm still not buying much.

The truth is that I've been buying for so long now and have so much material in my runtime that I just don't need to buy much any more - if I'm asked to make a book cover or illustration, then the chances are that I have something that I can use to get the job done. I did buy a bunch of Dreamlands models when they were on sale and then there have been some odd little models like the Russian Dolls that turned up at the store recently.

I'm sure that I'm not alone in the community in having reached this point. If I can do the job with what I have, I need a good reason to part with the money for something new. That reason could be that nothing else will do or that I see certain possibilities in a model that are worth my time and money. Unfortunately, much of what is new in the store is just a variation on stuff that I have already purchased before and probably more than once.

Perhaps if I had taken up Genesis then I might feel the need to buy more, though I suspect that would just involve buying much the same as I already have for V4 & M4 all over again. But there it is.
