One of the great disappointments I have when I buy a Poser product is that I can rarely get the product to immediately look like what was used to sell it. Here's what merchants can do to cut down on some of my letdown. - If the product is untextured, show an image without textures. Customers shouldn't have to spend another $20 to get what they bought to look like the ad. - Include the poses. Most merchants aren't selling pose sets and they're small, so why not let the customer have the pose used in the ad? - Include light and camera sets used in the ad. Poser's default light and camera settings are horrendous and any render used with them is going to be inferior to what was used in the ad. - Showcase some images with freebies and provide links. I understand that hairs cannot often be provided with a new character, but why not do a shot with some of the great free hair sets that are available? Hair is such an important part of how a character looks that it would be nice to be able to create the look being used to sell the character without having to spend more money. - Add a PZ3 or pose file for environmental scene sets or at least let the customer know that it comes unassembled. Otherwise, the customer is stuck putting a lot of time into getting the expansive image that sold the product. The sooner I can recreate the quality of the image that got me to buy a product, the happier I am. The harder it is to get there, the less satisfied I am. I've yet to get a close-up render of a texture to look as good as the ad. I'm not an expert in Poser, but it's hard to feel that I've gotten my money's worth when I cannot get something I bought to look like what I thought I was getting.
