@DeathMetalDesk:

Users of MAX, Maya, C4D, ZBrush are usually professional CGI Artists.

They are expected to build their own tools from the ground up.

Users of Poser/DAZ are usually hobbyists. The only thing they are expected to do is to properly type their credit card # once they are finished with their purchase of premade content.

After that, they, like any other consumer, can rightfully expect their purchase to work as advertised without any need of "fixing".

This of course includes base figures, too.

Personally, I can pretty much do anything a professional CGI-Artist can do, but I usually don't waste my time re-inventing the wheel.

That's why my "personal tools" are highly modified 3rd Gen DAZ figures. I don't need to feed my ego by building my "very own" figure from scratch. (And I don't think I could create a better topology than the DAZ professionals, anyway.)

I rather model stuff that doesn't exist yet.

Anyway, I expect none of this from my fellow DAZ/Poser users.

I just expect anyone who takes money for his work to do a good job.

This is very well put. I think that sometimes the long-time users don't realize what it is like to come into this community without experience or know-how. It took me a couple of years to get to the point that I could really do anything besides load and pose content that others created. If I had been expected to fix problems on things in order to make them work, I would simply have given up. This is a content driven market. The market would not exist if everyone could just whip up their own stuff to use. if vendors want customers to purchase their items, they do need to make sure that a novice end user can pick it up, plug it in and render without having to fix a bunch of things to make it work. Even though there are some things I can do--My skill level and my tools would never allow me to be able to fix some problems that come along.
