Something I've become increasingly aware of in the marketplace, is a big difference in how informative promotional renders are between vendors (for texture/character sets, anyway). Some provide detailed, close-up and highly informative shots which show consumers exactly what they'll get for their money  (e.g. ilona, ExprssnImg, morris), while others only provide  distance shots with no real close-up detail at all. In fact, there's even one quite recent texture/character set that only includes shots of the second skin textures and not the main texture itself - it might well be a nice set, but there's simply no way to tell from the promos.

Obviously, people do look for different things from a texture set - but surely everyone wants to see what they're buying? Anyway, I was wondering what others think about this and also what kind of promotional shots people prefer to see? (personally, I like images along the lines of the people I've mentioned above - close-ups with plenty of specific area detail).
