To pay their bills, that's a pathetic ass excuse to limit yourself to one race of models and I am sure they don't earn that much money from making content to pay their bills to begin with. Most folks have regular jobs, you know jobs that pay you an actual weekly check so you don't get behind on bills? Add this on top of the fact most people will torrent stuff for free and not pay which is also a stupid excuse to limit oneself to just making white figures onlyGet a regular job if you got that much bills to pay. I have friends who would love to use more ethicities in their work yet they are forced to use whatever jaded vendors are producing, you make it sound like everyone wants their digital world to be full of Whites and no other races. Sorry to break it to you but people use what they are forced to use. I am offended by this, it's like saying "White sells and other races don't." The fuck outta here with that shit. Plus There is way more male stuff for Genesis 3 being made than there ever was for Michael 4.

So much stupid in such a small paragraph.

There are several reasons why 95% of the characters in the Poser/DS universe are Caucasian. The biggest one is the lack of photographic merchant resources. The big one that most folks use is based in Europe (due to $$$$), and they don't have that much in the way of non-Caucasians. There isn't that much in the way of non-Caucasian resources available - please feel free to address that shortcoming by providing them.

Of course, that doesn't excuse all of the Caucasian features that vendors dial into their non-Caucasian figure (and don't get me started on blue-eyed Asians), but you can easily adjust that yourself - if you are willing to spend 30 seconds on it, which I suspect you aren't willing to do.

Most of the folks here are trying to make a go at this professionally, they aren't doing this to cater to your ego - they are doing to cater to their ego.

If you have any skills (or even if you don't) please feel free to fill the market with non-Caucasians; I am sure that you can spin a dial just as easily as a vendor can - there is a subset here that will buy them, and artists can do well with them. Reciecup has been at it for over a decade - what makes her characters great is the fact that they DON'T look like Caucasians that spent too much time in a tanning booth.

If your "friends" want more ethnicities for their art, they can do the exact same thing I do - use more than 1 base mesh. 5% of 1 figure doesn't give an artist a lot of choices - 5% of a dozen or so base meshes does. It is how I have a couple hundred non-Caucasians. It also helps if they add more tools to their tool kit like Texture Transformer, and Texture Converter (sold at that other site).

The downside of that is that you would actually have to learn the features of Poser and other associated programs. Are you willing to do that?

And what the hell does genesis 3 have to do with Michael 4? The great Why is there no male clothing piefights took place a decade ago, during the Michael 3 era.

Of course, if you know how to use Poser - it isn't difficult to move content from 1 figure to another.
