I hesitate to say it, but the problem in my eyes is not so much lack of support (at least, not only), but that often the offered content for LF/LF2 for example does look a bit outdated quality-wise. I have older gowns for V4 and V3 even with more detail than some things offered for the newer, more modern figures. I find little reason to purchase those, then.The trenchcoat set mentioned earlier is really a good example.

And even if the tghings might be good, the promos often don't show it. D|S promos often look much more sophisticated. An example:

https://www.renderosity.com/marketplace/products/165957/prae-gwendolyn-hair-for-la-femme-2-and-dawn-2-poser

The same product, and I really think it's a cute hairstyle which I'm considering to purchase... but had I only the poser promos to go by I might pass it.

Or harem pants...

I purchased the La Femme version because of the D|S promos... the poser promos, I'm sorry to say, look like images I might have done in my first poser days like15 years ago. I think it must be hard to make high qhality promos in two such different applications, but there are some light sets and such out there that would help a lot. And little things like nice poses that look natural.

If you're totally new to 3D and go by promos alone you'll certainly get the impression that D|S will make better pictures. So... if the products that are there were more sophisticated or better promoted it might help at least a little.

I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but that's been on my mind for some time now.

Afro, I definetively don't mean your things, those are a light at the end of poser tunnel.

Oh, and I really love dynamics, by the way. Most of my images contain dynamic clothing nowadays. some even borrowed dforce things from Genesiswhatevernumber.I 

Just my two cents: most of the time, as buying something is a matter of personal taste, the LF pose for the harem pants reminds me of the poses used for Vic4 these last 20 years. in my region, we say “it smells like mothballs” 

Even though I find that LF is quite muscular (once again: personal taste), advertising specialists know this well: a customer must either be able to identify with the model, or dream of one. I think a more pinup model, without excess, would be better. 

I'm used to the often poor, sometimes hideous renderings of anything Vic4, so I'm not unaware of this kind of detail, potentially interested in the product itself and not the advert for it. But that's just me, newcomers will be influenced.

As they say: the devil is in the detail.
