How is it that Kozaburo can create these unbelievable hair models and then give them away for free? Besides the beauty of them, they are practicaly guaranteed to produce satisfaction. Yet, the new commercial hair products require instructions and tweaking beyond the 'average users' knowledge? I wanted so badly to buy the new 'changing ponytail' at Daz, but was disheartened by the readme... "To Parent: With the default Vicki, you will need to make the following adjustments to accurately parent the hair to the figure. These are not guaranteed to parent the hair perfectly to all default positions of Vicki, you may have her saved out with slight differences that will make further parenting necessary." Why would I make this purchase knowing that I may have to tweak it at every turn? It's a fine piece of work, and i'd love to own it, but if I have spend more time on setting up the hair than the entire scene, it's not practical. I know that people who express their opinions about commercial products getty pretty beat up here, but how enjoyable is a model if 'the average user' cannot attain a satisfying result? Is it all about $ales or satisfied customers? We're talking Poser here... It shouldn't take a Masters Degree. Beat me up if you want - I'm just a paying customer with dollars to spend. Dollars i'd rather spend on the Artists here that do design ease and beauty into their commercial products.
