Yes, there's some interesting things coming out for Dusk. Yes, the Genesis line has a few nice things. But it's all a blip on the radar. There's no market. And while I certainly appreciate the efforts made to give the guys something to work with, it's patently obvious that it's such a tiny share of the Poser/DS market that it might as well not be there at all. So again, why are we bothering with the male meshes? Even DAZ's support for its own M5 has been miniscule compared to the neverending wave of female characters. If DAZ doesnt care that much about its own work, why should anyone else?

How do you know it's no market? I'm sorry but you're speculating. There is a market, otherwise there wouldn't be 7 iterations of Michael. It's not as big as the girls, but I've been picking up several items for my guys including new figures. And I have 2 guys in queue that I'm making myself, and I've made enough off my men to keep making them. Like I said it depends on where you look. If you're looking at rendo for M4 stuff, then yeah, the market is dried up and hard to come by new items. You look on DAZ, there's male items there and a major male release happened a few weeks ago. You probably should change your title to specify Poser only because that's probably what you mean and this is the Poser forum. DAZ is doing ok with the boys. ;)
