Customers will support the figure that they view as best supported. That hasn't been a Poser figure since Posette.

What other poser females were available at the time of posette other than the uber primitive Poser 2 female/males.??? Her "success" was less a matter of choice and more a matter of lack of viable alternatives

while standards have become very high in this arena the technical skills of the average user have not advanced so much.

From a pure technical perspective, PE was a"good" figure. but it was not that compatible with any of poser native clothing creation tools except the dynamic cloth room and was initially not even available here in the RMP.

A "Good figure" is not enough in todays market

It needs a powerful core platform, that gives it its functionality and a content market controlled by the same people who own that platform and the figure itself. ( See apple/IOS/appstore ,See Google,Android,google play store)

Why even have a "face room" or a "Talk designer" or a "walk designer" or a fitting room and continue to adopt third party "saviour" figures that are not compatible with core program features that could make your software more competitive and attract much needed new users.??

There is a reason why all of the poser Character animators ,who needed walking, talking, people have moved on the other programs Like Iclone Maya and yes..... even Daz studio.

You cant have a discussion about how a poser figure will succeed without discussing the current state of the poser software or even the state of the RMP compared to its obvious competition in this market segment.

You're misreading the point of the thread again. The "a good figure" is a vague term, but I wanted opinions. Facts vary depending on what figure you're talking about and what program. We're talking about Poser. You consistently post about Realusion, Studio, and Iclone programs and figures and maybe those work for you. But not everyone else.

And you consistently make the same assessment. Poser has to beome a "clone" of all the other software in order to regain it's market.
