mrsparky quote Interesting debate this, though theres another option which isn't mentioned that often. Especially if someone can't model/texture, or just wants a minutes of internet fame. Become a "brand" and buy in content. By that I don't mean reselling or getting stuff from pirate sites, but literally paying other artists to make stuff for you. Which you can then legally sell/give away under your own name, own all the rights etc. Also handy if you want to test the selling waters etc, or learn what collabrative working is all about. It's a service that many 3d studios now offer at affordable prices, so doing it can help other artists/creators out. OK sure some folks do consider this as a form of 'dark arts'. But after 10 years of content creation, including a few commission pieces, I know quite a few folks who do this. If nothing else it's certainly fasinating to see the reactions of others all because theres a different name on something or even where it's being sold somehow sells better stuff.

Ya know I can see that working at turbo but at DAZ Poser for fame sure but I never really saw a profit as a vender to start with .
so don't know if I would be willing to gamble on spending money for DAZ Poser content.
really the only reason I could see being a DAZ Poser vender was to sharpen ya skills , for fame,for fun . anyways never saw any $$$ in it. 
Ya would make more $$$ selling stale fries at mickyD's then ya would buy being a DAZ Poser vender. 
At DAZ Poser I always thought making the merchandise was the easy part. especially with 2015 3D App's it ant nothing to make meshes compared to 1998.

ya half to make it all work so perfectly so ya could click n render.
but should I make it for DAZ or Poser should it be for poser 4 or 14 should it be for V4 or V6 .what about Roxie and Dawn.
is it worth it to make all those morphs fit perfectly.wich some where ya missed that one morph that will get posted and ya names dirt.etc etc.a lot of time spent there.
ya stuff has 100 morphs to fit 4 characters but that one characters paris morph didn't work perfectly. so ya stuffs trash.
this is the part I could never get past .cause I knew I didn't half to do deal with any of it with C4D, Max etc etc.

and I knew I was a no name so can I get my stuff in the email,every email ? what's it cost ?
Should I partner with a big name just to use there known name ? what's it cost ?

99.9% of my profits will be first week form the emails and the stores posting my stuff for every one to see.
So I sell 20 outfits and 200 gets pirated.
what if a pirates having trouble with my content ?should I help them ?they might actually buy something someday so ....
