    Drages, did you make that T-Rex in your gallery yourself, while someone else rigged it?

    If so, why not make all your own models? 

    DinoRaul makes some great items, and I have used them many times, sometimes retexturing them to their current purpose, or using them as is. Alessandro's 3D animals make it into my Cart almost instantly (especially the Shark, and Australian Animals), and as he mentions, DAZ focuses on humans, but are not limited to it. A good artist has many tools at their disposal, and interchanges them as needed.

    Daz isn't your only tool in your toolkit, there are other tools (websites you can get animal/dinosaur content from), or, as earlier mentioned, if your making your own T-Rex of that quality, just keep making them yourself.
     

    Designing, testing, alterations, and modifications take time. And an artist investing in creating an artwork that takes many hours is not likely to recoup that time, and when it is pirated and stolen, they won't get any money for their time investment. DAZ items would need to sell in volume at their prices, while something from TurboSquid would be pricier, but no less an income for the artist. Less sales, but higher value. That higher value has to come with additional work, quality, and consistency. Usually without support too.

    DAZ problems are -usually- fixed quickly, and what I cannot get here, I either kitbash, morph, or modify myself. If a texture is out of date because the model is old, I'll either retexture it myself if I can, or ask the PA to look into modernising the textures for 3Delight or iRay. If they say no, fair enough, it's their time, and it's not free.

    No i am not a modeler, those models are from other shops like turbo. If i could make any model or textures by myself, i would be selling them rather then wanting them..

    I am a poser user anyway.. 

    Dinoraul, Dinoraul, Dinoraul... yes i know that guy and i used his models for years.. BUT dinosauls models are Victoria 4 quality and it's good, i accept that, again BUT, even there is v4 they made genesis, and genesis 2 and now genesis 3.. there is a big quality jump from v4 to g3.. so i want to see that jump at non-human models too. This is it..

    But you are right about the marketning and all.. i can't do that anything about it..

    I'm pretty happy with even some of the older dinosaur models, but I could really use some better skins. Particularly things like translucency.

    For example, I did a render of a suchomimus, and it came out rather nice, but I would have loved something like 'the stretchy bits of the mouth are more translucent than the rest.'

    (And the bump map is just... goofy. Lots of drawn lines and stuff)

    Agreed, this would really amp up their functionality, some new iRay skins would be fantastic!

    I've found 2 free Rex's and an Allosaurus online.  The allo and one of the rex's are rigged, but look very flat and awkward.  The third is an obj import - not rigged.  If you try to render it as it imports, it looks like bad ceramic.  But if you hit it with Iray uber, and then turn Glossy Layered Weight to zero, it's not too bad.  Can't move it around, but if you just need one shot of it in the background it's something. (You'll want to do something to the eyes too)

    But yes, I'd also love to see some new animals in the store.
