The poser "market" ,as I have seen it here, is only interested in Northern European Female models with realisticly bending joints so she looks "realistic" in her naked renders and an endless supply of female clothing to dress her for internet gallery stills.

No story telling, no animation, no VFX work............. just her Standing there.

you are not going to find Many real "pros" willing to invest time in this paradigm.

Add to the picture that this is a community of people who don't buy stuff at 9.95$ because they are waiting for it to be discounted to 4.95$, while on TurboSquid prices start from an order of magnitude more and are never discounted. Why spend your time creating a 29.95$ fully featured character which sells next to no copies when you can sell for 79$ a single tooth?

Create a character that's worth $29.95 and my guess is it would sell - I certainly would pay that for a high quality character, the key words being high quality. If I can get roughly the same quality from a character that only costs $4.99 or $9.99 then yes, I'd be stupid not to buy the less expensive one.

Figure models? Well for non-human figures depending on what it is, I've bought more than a few. For human figures? Not much point in investing a ton of money in something I have to spend tons and tons of time creating content for to use, so yes I tend to stick with the ones that have aftermarket vendor support. My free time to spend on 3d is limited, so I try to make the most of it when I can. If that offends someone else's delicate sensibilities, well so be it I guess.
