We're not talking extremes here, but if Dawn, or La femme is around 22 or 25 years of age, we're talking about 10 year increments.

Also, at what age do the clothes for these figures become inappropriate for their age?

Have you gone to the beach in the past in your neck of the woods? I'm not a vendor but there are no such things as age appropriate outfits. Silly, yeah as in trying to hold on to that youthful "appearance". Tasteful outfits like Bermuda shorts for both genders, tops that don't reveal those sagging boobs on both genders, I could go on and on but will stop here. Suffice it to say. Bikinis and Speedos are best left to those who can wear it well, no matter their age. LOL! ? ?

Hehehe. The world really is not ready to see me in Budgie Smugglers.

If art is supposed to reflect real life then there is none.

Basically what Thunderstone said .

EDIT: Good question ? I dont use Dawn so I really dont know what they have for her at all, La Femme is simple to work with,(not saying dawn is or isnt I just dont use her so wouldn't know) I seen a few older looking texture which would look good on a more mature morph for La Femme. worse comes to worse you can always just blender sculpt one yourself if you cant find one. That's if your going up in age.

Headshop for the Genesis 2/3/8 series allows you to add an aging morph to conversions which you can, of course, dial in as far as you want. I can’t run Headshop for La Femme because it’s Windoze only, but I assume that has the same option.

It's just a fact of life. Nobody wants to see older people. When I was young I didn't want to be reminded of mortality. Now that I'm 70, I can just look in the mirror, so I still don't want to see age in art!

Even educational uses of CG stick to the standard 20s models. If I was doing a courseware lesson SPECIFICALLY about aging, I'd use an aged model. Otherwise not.

Bunkie Knudsen, former head of General Motors, said it best. "You can sell a young man's car to an old man, but you can't sell an old man's car to a young man."

That, by it's very nature, limits your art.

That also doesn't mean there are no old people in art. And, to be honest, it lends realism to a render or painting to have a variety of people in the back or foreground.

Logan's Run sucked as a movie - I certainly wouldn't want it to reflect my art.

Most of my folks run from Mid 30's to 90+.

Sorry, ockham, I think you're dead wrong.

Is there a bias toward the young and attractive? Sure, but that doesn't mean no old people ever. The work I see Poser being used for - corporate training videos - have an emphasis on diversity. Old, young, fat, thin, black, white, Asian, Latino, abled and disabled. Just because Rosity is pinup central doesn't mean that's what all users want.

Even in TV land...it's not all young people. I've been watching Star Trek: Picard, which features a bunch of older people. The star will be 80 years old next month.

Personally, I want characters of all ages. For children, you can often use standard female textures if they are truly no-makeup, and if the brows aren't too dark or too plucked. That's a definite selling point for me.

I buy older characters quite often. What I really want is attractive older characters. Often, the old characters in the RMP are extremely ugly. Which is fine, but I want some attractive older characters, too. Some "Hollywood old" characters would be good, where they're definitely older, but not covered in warts and age spots. (I often kitbash this, using an older morph at partial strength, and a younger texture.)

If you only do pinups, yes, you probably only want young characters, but if you're illustrating a story...even if it's about a young adult, they have parents, bosses, maybe children, siblings, grandparents.

It's another one of the things people use Poser for, court cases. They do illustrations of the scenes of crimes, traffic accidents, shopping areas, etc.
