"Well, I'm a vendor as well and my Poser creations are doing well so..."

I know. Although I don't have any of your things. I don't buy stuff anymore. Regardless of your sales I can't really comment on your modeling chops or your actual knowledge of Poser's internal workings other than observation of some of the things you've said here on the forum. Being a vendor and attaching 3d to the end of your moniker doesn't really indicate much to me, no offense. Just as being a Poser Ambassador doesn't really carry any artistic clout in my book, in general I'm pretty underwhelmed by those things.

Unfortunately my Poser artistic heroes are personna non grata on Poser forums (well, sometimes PhilC or Netherworks or JoeQuick or Stonemason will post something, very rarely. Teyon seems to have had enough too... Bagginsbill still holds court occassionally. No more Anton, no more LesBentley, Englishbob still sarcastically complains once in awhile lol. PoserClub Japan is kaput so no more that perspective either. There's still hidden away blogs. MortemVetus is cool, nice enough to friend me over at DNA, Truely flattered). Mostly it's genesis/v4 stuff anymore...Boring.

This is going to be totally off topic, or perhaps not, but...

I remember when I first started out with 3d and Poser (it came already installed on a gift computer, powermac g3, my first ever computer. It was Poser 3). I was studying toward my Scupture BFA at the time. I think the first figures I fell in love with were MayaDoll and Sixus1's H.E.R.

I caught the modeling bug a couple of years later. Anyway, I said to myself. "Wow, wouldn't it be really awesome (in my eyes, still to this day) if I could make something like H.E.R.? Sixus is a really cool artist (mad respect)."

It's a few years later now, I continue to work at this and learn the fundamentals. Y'know, all that Poser 4 workflow garbage and modeling, morphing, file manipulation basics that's so useless to other mighty poser artists that blather on about such things here. They just buy that stuff I guess.

I think I'll muck around in the freebie arena for awhile, I just started uploading stuff and images a few months back. Who knows I might just disappear tomorrow, happens all the time. But, here's the thing... In a 3 months time I've won 2 out of three render/art contest I've entered in. One of my first ever freebies is higher rated than Sixus1's H.E.R. figure at sharecg (does little dance, sheds little tear, bows before Sixus and the pantheon of Poser gods). I'd say that if I disappeared tomorrow, I could at least have that miniscule horn to toot. There's still a long ways to go... being a vendor? Meh. That can wait, if at all. I just want to make more stuff. ;) End of horn tooting rant (based on provable facts, no pie in the sky wishful sayso)... :)
