Don't worry too much about the ReadMe. To be honest, I redo most of the ReadMes anyway. I create the file list just before I pack since things often change, even a bit, during the QAV process, and I have a specific way I want them to look.

The most important part of the ReadMe is the Important Information section. I redo much of this as well, putting things from the product page after I create it. What I want to see from the CA is any information they want their customers to have: Tips & suggestions, special instructions, resourses used, etc.

Okay, so I should *not* do my usual habit of listing out all the files like I normally do? Or would it help you if I still listed them, and you could just make edits to the file listing as you need to?

No worries on the Important Information section. I definitely will have stuff in there, as there are some quirks and tips/notes that I feel need to be included. So there will definitely be notes there - mostly just pertaining to the usage of the poses. :)

I do always try to credit my resources, too, though. And for a store item, I keep a notepad file with an ongoing list of any abd all resources as I progress through the package, so that will definitely also be in there.

[Edit]

Alisa, one other question. I normally do list the product requirements (if any) with links in my readme. I know the store will do that on the item page... but should I still do so in the readme, or leave that out?

Sorry!! LOL

Good news, though.. I'm back home finally. Ugh, I hate shopping. Whoever said "girls like to shop" never met me!!!

Getting back to work on that last pose now. ;)
Oh don't be sorry. I'm happy to spend the money on something worth having like this package you've put together. ;)

Edit - either way works for me :).

We don't put links, just the name of the product and the store where it's from. I do link to products on the product pages.

Again, I'll add the required products if you don't :)

If you have everything done the way the other products are, I have a bit less to do, but the ReadMes don't take all that long ;)

Just don't want our CAs stressing about having to have all the i's dotted and t's crossed with that sort of stuff :).

I will definitely put them in there. I just needed to know the format. I will leave links out, then. Thanks.

If you have everything done the way the other products are, I have a bit less to do,

And that is precisely why I asked. Thank you! :)

I suppose that by now, I should really know better than to try and get any actual work done after an entire day of running around like we had yesterday. :sleep: Oh, well. I made up for it this morning. This is a preview render of the last pose... #10.

Just a cool-down trot or walk for both of them. ;)

I have a couple of small niggles left to fix in a spot or two, but mostly this one is done.

And this is the view from the other side.

Off to fix the last couple of spots that are annoying me, and then it'll be time for the library save.

This pose is now declared finished. I have done the library save, and am currently in the process of thumbnailing the full poses. Then I will get all the partials done.

Finally! :D

And this is what the folder looks like for the full body poses. ;)

You'll find I labeled the thumbnails as well as the filenames... hoping this makes it clear for folks as to what pose is for what, since we have both the cowboy hat and Harry involved, aside from Dusk. Not to mention the no-toes versions for use with shoes...

Anyway. The main pose folder is thumbnailed nonw. I am going to break for lunch. I'll get all of the partials saved out after that. And don't worry, I won't litter the thread with library screencaps for all the partials. :p I just wanted to put this one up as it shows all ten poses in full.
