Here's MY pet peeve, somebody who hangs over my shoulder when I'm shopping, constantly nattering at me, "You don't have to buy that, you could make it!" Lord, it drives me crazy!! You'd think I was using their money. I buy poses and textures and models. I try to change as much as I can. Only been doing this since January. I learned how to pose people taking canned poses apart. I think there has only been one picture I've posted where I left the pose alone as it came from the package-- and that was a miracle. As it is, those days I get involved in Poser, I have to be careful I don't stay up all night and well into the next day-- I really do welcome anything that saves me a bit of time. I work harder and longer on the face and head than anything other than propping the set. I want to tell stories eventually, not position mannequins till my fingers are falling off. On the matter of textures, if the texture is intricate enough and provides a ton of variants [at least 4]-- yeah, it's worth more than the original package. If somebody just did a PhotoShop fill job, I'd rather it never made the MarketPlace at all. And! Inflation does sorta seem to be hitting several marketplaces lately, not just Rocity. Awful lot of $30 packages out there. She says, as she buys Styxx's fabulous Trouble Shooters. Not those, I don't mean those. Emily
