Hi bantha,

This has nothing to do with me. I was on the beta, I looked over the figure and decided I'd wait until I was sure the mesh/rigging/uvs were finalized -- I planned on starting on a morph pack for it to be ready when it was released. The only reason I haven't is because there were still changes being made around Christmas, so I moved on to other projects while I waited for everything to be 100% finalized. This is totally normal and wouldn't ever upset me in the slightest, it's just the way projects work sometimes.

My issue is with how he's conned stores and vendors for support and to take advantage of their staff, resources and marketing with the "we all have to work together on this or we're going to lose the Daz war" pitch, alluded to joint releases and made promises that a fully functional base figure will always be available for free (I specifically asked him to clarify this in the private PE forum that Renderosity staff set up for him). Meanwhile he's had an exclusivity agreement with CGBytes right from the start, and he's admitted that the demo figure he is releasing is intended to funnel traffic from Renderosity to CGBytes.

So again let me clarify: I have no problem with people making profit. I have no problem with PE, I'm happy every time something new is released for Poser. I do have a problem with the lack of ethics.
