There is a ton of V4 and M4 content in the Legacy store at PoserAddicts but no one buys anything there anymore. Poser users complain there is nothing for V4 and M4, yet there are thousands of products which rolled off of Renderosity which we took up and continue to offer long after they were removed from the store here. To allow those amazing products to continue to be legally available to those who supported and used Poser. As Male-M3dia said above - we saw products that were the norm over 10 years ago, continue to be created for, but even Smith-Micro and Content Paradise don't actively make anything for their own figures which compete with anything being made for Daz Studio and its Genesis line of figures. The money is there in that market, which is technologically growing and moving forward. If Poser was so the product of choice then Poser exclusive stores like PoserAddicts would have tons of sales rather than maybe clearing around $20.00 USD a month in profits. I just left it there in case anyone wanted the amazing products which are in that store, and that makes over 5000+ Poser related products, which no one seems to want.

I'm going to work only with Daz Studio going forward in my new online shop and won't waste my time with "requests" for Poser Only products as the number of sales for those is so minimal, it's not worth making unless its a fully paid commission. Sorry but supporting Poser alone has become bad business. And I started with Poser in the days of Curious Labs and Metacreations. I go back to 1995, and was the largest supporter of Poser, begging for tech updates and better figures etc, and no one listened. And eventually the ancient interface was locked into everyone's minds as the only way, and Poser vs Daz Studio splits happened. It was nasty and caused companies to go bankrupt and close their doors - the ones who closed, lost money due to Poser and defected over to Daz Studio. And you all saw that the last bastion of Poserdom (RDNA) sold itself to Daz3D, and then Smith-Micro got rid of every single person who ever had anything to do with Poser's creation... That could be a good thing, but I think after so long of ignoring reason, they have one hell of a mountain to climb to out do the success which advancement has brought to Daz Studio.

Even Renderosity has moved to get more Daz Studio content into the store. And I believe they will see that the benefits of DS products vs old supporting products of Poser (V4 and M4) aren't really bringing in very large sums of profit. Sadly its a reality. My beloved PoserAddicts store is like a star that is about to go out, because no one cares to support it anymore, and it's almost exclusively Poser content. That proves to me that no one cares, and only a few people are loud about it, and wouldn't actually care if that star burned out and disappeared, like RNDA and YURDigital and so many other Poser product stores.

I would go check out PoserAddicts, but.. clicking on the link in your signature gives me a warning from Mozilla:
