If you are going to take a shot the usual advice is to take a deep breath and hold it before squeezing the trigger to ensure you don't go wide of the mark. Even then it's vital to make sure that you're aiming at the right target in the first place! In what way is SM responsible for Renderosity's failure to maintain the balance of products in it's marketplace? Vendors have been making products for Poser for a good number of years and still are. No complaint there. To claim that Poser content isn't up to snuff is frankly ridiculous and I can only assume that your view is that Poser users stick to SM's content and don't actually buy content and I am sure there are a number of vendors here at |Renderosity who would happily put you through the wringer for dismissing their products with such disparaging bias. It's already been pointed out that SM's own content output hasn't kept pace with the program but there many vendors who have worked very hard to address that failure and done so with great success.The problem as far as Renderosity is concerned is that buyers are going elsewhere because they cannot find them here. The reason is that the balance of products towards Daz is now so heavily in Daz's favour that it is becoming untenable that Renderosity can maintain a fair marketplace which suits all prospective buyers which it claims to do. In the face of aggressive maketing stratagy from Daz, and remember that includes vendor-creation tools which tie the creators exclusively to Daz, its a situation which is at best untenable and at worst unsustainable if it is to survive. Early days yet but as always, the longer a problem is ignored the worst it becomes. All thats being asked in this thread is that Renderosity address that inbalance and correct it. No ones has suggested that one platform should take preference over the other either way otherwise the only outcome is the monopoly that Daz are clearly striving for. Renderosity sells product for both platforms, but until they make that clear and present both with equal unbiased favour there is and will remain a problem. Frankly I'd rather see Renderosity in business as a successful independent concern rather than see it lose money to the point of becoming absorbed by default by the Daz conglomerate! Lemmings? I believe that to be an accurate simile. Running blindly on with the mob without a thought for the future for as long as the money is coming in is great for the short term, but what do you do when you suddenly realise that the only thing beneath you is air?
