Should I give content creation another go?

I thought it was public. You need an account to see it?

Try this.

Well, technically, I DO have an account there, I just never use it, and i actually forgot my password. But yeah, that link wants me to sign in before i could read anything.

There was nothing in there that surprised me at all, except maybe that DAZ and Renderosity marketplaces are so equal.

I think the respondents were simply too small in number to get a valid survey.

And, yeah, the Hivewire numbers are nice.

Yeah the one thing about that particular question that would be interesting to me anyway to know is HOW MUCH one shops at a given store, not so much of they have EVER shopped there - yes I shop at Daz, Rendo, RDNA, HW, Xurge and so on but my actual number of purchases/amount spent is way higher at HW than anywhere else. Rendo would be second for me mainly because of 4-5 exclusive vendors there like SAV, Flink and Fabiana. Daz I mainly buy Deviney's fab PS brushes these days and occasionally some older props that work in Poser if they are on sale.

Def an interesting survey!

Thanks for the survey results. Not really surprised by much there, on the other hand, since my impressions come from forums, and people who read the forums responded, that makes sense. Reading through the results it would have been interesting to know for many of the answers whether the people answering were Poser users, DS users or both.

from the poser folks it doesn't surprise me that Generation 4 are popular, but it does surprise me that Genesis is (I thought from reading others posts that they weren't compatible with Poser?). Glad to see the HiveWire figures are really popular

As far as Genesis 1 and 2 in Poser goes they can be used with a converter called DSON. The thing about DSON is that it can be very slow. Actually I usually found before PP11 that it was so slow it wasn't worth it. I think Poser must have gotten more efficient in 11 because as long as it's Gen1 or 2, I can user them just fine in Poser now on the same machine I was using before.

Exactly the same here - my 3D budget gets spent at Hivewire except for a rare exceptional find at another store. But, the way all the questions were worded in this survey allowed for unscientific results.

Well, I have been around for a while, so yeah, DAZ has the lien on my house, Rendo my car, and RDNA my school loan. Hivewire's new for me, so my credit card is just pleading for me to spare it's life.
