what the poser market seems to need right now is an unprecedented level of focused support for a (one) non daz figure/figure family. The hivewire ones have come a long way and seem to be viable at this point BUT they do have that hard-coded 'G' rating attached to them that is a bit of a sticking point for people wanting to make art in a 'grown ups' environment. I didn't say adult in this instance because it immediately brings to mind poser porn and that's not what I'm talking about. Just the treatment of poser subject matter as mature adults who are capable of witnessing and appreciating the full human form. Aritistic freedom not artificially limited by the design decisions of the figure with which we work. I'm very optimistic about project E, but I have been before and been disappointed by the support offered. I think at this point the key value content creators could add is more in supporting some of the better of whats available than adding further under supported figures to the ring.
That being said I do love the idea of different models of bringing content to market. Some sort of content creation collaborative could tap some of the best skills different people have to offer and get more content to market quicker in support of any particular figure. Some people can model, some can rig and some can texture to a pretty high level but far fewer can do all three at the same level. It would be cool if there was a structure to help tap different skillsets to bring content to market and reward each equitably for their contribution
