Yet another render of some Borsala Cyber Sci-fi mat with Dawn 2.0;

I'm looking at if I should cull some of these mats. Any suggestions of what ones should stay and what ones should go;

Just like Janet I like them all but I also like the idea of a separate texture set so people can have the option. There is not a bad texture there but something to be aware of is in many cases the texture will depend very much on the scene being portrayed. For example I may well use the blue or the grey for work or office type environment but less likely to use the gold textures as I do not see them as being every day. On the other hand the gold would me my choice if portraying an evening out. That is why many of the renders use your Borghild outfit there is almost always always a texture to suit any occasion. Hopefully the spin off for you is that the outfit gets seen more widely resulting in increased sales.

Thanks. I'll certainly take this into consideration.

That's what I'm thinking. Doug, no one will tell you they all have to be in the same product. You can cut them in half, or even thirds, and do Vols. 1, 2 and 3. They don't ALL have to hit the store at the same time. ;)

True and you also have the advantage that you have returning customers.

So, I'm going to re-visit the colour schemes.

Actually I had one of those gold outfits originally as blue - what's better?

They're both nice, but users might have more use for the blue set, than they'd have for the "bright" gold set.

How about changing this yellow/gold for black?

For this set I like the Black better, though I'd remove those patches on the back of her thighs and glutes. Instead, you could make the trim around her neck and hands that color to give more contrast to the set. To me, the patches on the back don't add anything to the design. Just my 2 cents, FWIW.

The one on the right, yes. You could use that color on the neck and sleeve trim as I mentioned, but I'll leave that up to you.

Since I'm going to split the Borsala Cyber Sci-fi into two sets, I'm thinking that I could keep some mats that I previously binned;
What about bringing back this one? And if so, then in what colour?

That would depend on which color(s) you've already used. I would think having it in a color you haven't used much in the other sets would work well. Folks like variety, and not using the same colors all the time would be useful.

That said, for this set, I think I like the white/grey set on the left, as I haven't seen you use those colors much in the other sets.
