nothing wrong with the blank canvas idea -- its the concept ive been heavily pushing for years.

people will take a blank canvas and run with it as long as its a high quality blank canvas. word for word what ive told people at the helm of Poser for years is that all a base figure needs is a high quality platform: impeccable quality UVs, base mesh, and a good working base rig. these are things that either cant be changed or the typical vendor doesnt want to get involved with. ive said it so many times i feel like a #%@$ing broken record. you dont need to include a ton of morphs and 'features'. vendors and freestuff creators will make all that stuff.

but in order to get people to work on that 'blank canvas' -- to embrace it as a universal platform instead of just the latest in a long line of new figures that fall by the wayside -- that canvas needs to be pretty clean to begin with.
