Wow, way to slap down tonyvitters' constructive criticism, people.

I, for one, am sure that if I released a figure that might cause Poser to choke later down the line, and someone gently pointed this stuff out to me, I sure wouldn't show them the back of my hand.

Wow.

I believe people are more worried about the 'Baby being thrown out with the bath water." again so to speak. Sometimes even the best intentioned "constructive criticism" can have the effect of being more like destructive criticism and tend to see creators broken on the granite steps that lead to an often unattainable myth of standardised perfection of figure creation. While some enjoy nothing more than an overly zealous and in depth critique of any figure offering, it often turns into more of a Post Mortem then a therapeutic analysis, leaving the creator to carry the burden of his/her peers while being crucified in the public forums for daring to present a substandard specimen to the masses, for free.

Is this worry rational?

Scarlet - Is it time to jump the V4 ship? THREAD MAY 2015

Maybe have a look at this thread regarding the Scarlet figure released by Sixus1. And ask yourself did this in depth deconstruction of the figure ultimately help the creator and that figures success? Is it worth repeating the process over and over? Why did the creator choose to remain absent from the thread? Did this thread undermine or provide support to the figures creator?

While figure standards are definitely important and may effect the compatibility, supportability and long term viability of a figure there is an appropriate way of raising these issues with content creators. And I don't think rolling over a public thread is the best way to represent everyone's interests on this subject.

Courtesy would be respecting the opening poster and creators wishes or perhaps contacting him privately via PM if anyone wishes to help him out on specific technical issues or offer their expert advice with the figure.

From what I can tell adh3d wants to keep this thread for info regarding his new free 3D figure and it's accessories.

I believe the appropriate response to adh3d at this point would be Thankyou. ;)
