I have to admit I did bulk at the price and compared with others it is also expensive. Then I thought about it a little, or I may have just been justifying the price to myself, but, for a start, this is for Dawn and I doubt it will sell in the numbers if it had been produced for V4 or Genesis. I like to think that it would but I don't think we are at that point with Dawn.
Secondly I want to use my Dawn character alongside my V4 characters this gave me a problem in that I only have two mature looking textures, one mid age one old, for V4 so I could convert them but then both my V4 and Dawn character would have the same texture. As the mature textures have some defined skin characteristics I was of the impression it would be very apparent that the textures were the same.
There was also a community aspect to the purchase as well, in the sense that I don't think $29.99 is really a fair reflection of the work that has been put into something like this it is just we have become used to some very low prices. Lastly I really wanted to support a vendor that had stepped out of the norm to support a non V4/Genesis figure.
All of that does not detract from what you have stated, it is expensive, but it does, I hope, explain to some degree my reasons for buying.
I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 - Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU . The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
