i guess i have a different perspective in terms of basicwear vs. fantasy stuff.

i think part of what aerysoul/alltheirothernames did for Poser was their stuff, going back to Vicki2, was exciting to look at, to use and play around with.  i think their stuff helped people to feel excited about rendering & creating.

i do think that basicwear is of some import, but with the lack of exciting things for Poser currently, and i'll agree w. the quality of things slipping a bit, i actually think fantasy wear is far more important.  there are several folks that can create the basics, so let them to it.

create something to die for, yanno? 

a pose set, new materials, another bikini are all fine and well, but lack a certain ooomph to the creative juices, typically...

just my perspective, tho...
