zenzai - I've had it with trying to guess what characters artists use in their promos.  These people are in business to sell 3D content and they can't even remember what products they use for their own promo images - it's like all too much trouble for them.  All modern 3D software programs will print out an inventory of what was used,so it's not like some effort is involved.  Half the time I never even hear back from vendors.  This industry is in real need of a lesson in customer service.  If a customer asks a question, you give them the answer.  If you don't know the answer, you find the answer and give it to them.  My conservative guess is that 3D congtent creators, DAZ3D, and Renerosity are probably losing bout 70% of their sales because they just can't be bothered.

I agree, there are a lot of annoying problems in the 3D Content business. I write software which collects user data for offline use and downloads files from some of these sites, and the lack of standards in product and file naming, as well as in general product page info (or lack of same), bad or dead links, missing promos etc. is giving me a hard time. I have to make a lot of workarounds to make things work.
