Most people are interested in the clean, cute aspect of the whole deal. I'd love if not only the content creators threw their ideas overboard that the content must be universally appealing. Creatures are made of flesh and bone, and I'm so tired of seeing Genesis 8 Female perfect person with super eyebrows and yum yum boobs iteration 1000. That's not a bad thing in general, especially if the creators of the content LOVE what they're doing. I admire them. Still. Skeletons. Monsters. Creatures. Animals. Dirty, loud, mysterious. That would be so sharp to see <3
An extension of glamor pinup and photo shopping to get that smooth clear unblemished effect are with us. They even have a darn air brush makeup applicator for women to get all that smoothing done en carne (in flesh on the face!) getting rid of photoshop on the street! lot of Poser fantasy artist seem to not adhere to the standards of realism I see in so many other images created by non poser artists. It seems to come out sometimes lime vector art with more fuzzy detail as if all the details were rubbed out by the smudge too.
I would love more of the same thing you request. I would love nappy hair or flea bitten fur, scars or flawed hides and human skin, dirty and injured. Especially for battle scenes or outdoor scenes where the figures are comprising an environment in nature. You see scantily clad women in hi heels and perfect makeup being chased by mr monster with perfect skin and coifed hair without any expression when it would be so much greater seeing same damsel in distress, bruised, sweaty, dirty scratched bare feet, torn garments, nappy disarrayed hair running for her life with a scream on her fear torn face.
Maybe it is a question of availability of the elements out there for the figure of choice or maybe despite there being many such add-ons out there, it comes down to lack of detail in the way they create.
I love the details and put as much as possible in my Poser scenes....sometimes too much perhaps some times just not enough to make it seem realistic. But animals monsters and other creatures are left short because there is already so very little support from the community and content creators out of the gate they may never look as real as I would like them to.
For instance I ask for nappier flawed skin for the big cat or Harry or dog. Real animals especially in the wild don't get their coats brushed out and groomed, the fur is hardly ever smooth and velvety it is coarse and raggedy and in places on the body such as joints, neck scruff and chest, groin and belly and neck. I love Chris is adding tufts of hair to the elk I hope he adds more even if just smart propped is enough to add stuff on the animal to add some real hard world of nature realism to it. Of curse the argument has always been you can just add all that in post. A good out I guess but not one I have ever subscribed to. My counter is what if you want to do some animations?
But it is true it is dependent of time/to compensation ration. If there is no notion it will be purchased what incentive will the content creator have to offer it. I just wish I had learned to model and texture when I was younger and my brain more flexible yo wrap around the concepts. I wouldn't be out here in the forums begging for stuff I feel I need.
