It just goes to show that the requests in this forum are, sadly, a vocal minority. Once again, I defer to my previous statement.... if u guys want support for something, u gotta buy it. Vendors go where the $$ is. And if we spend a month or two making a set that flops, we are not likely to spend that kind of time on something similar in the future.
Like the others who stated there reasons for not buying scorpion God, I too had no use for it. Remember that the other thing that people here ask to see more of, aside from male stuff and kids, is EVERYDAY CLOTHING, clothing that is practical and relating to real people. Almost all the male stuff I see here, and hell, even at Rendo is usually a bit to stylized for my taste. Hell, I'd even take man-slutware if it was made available to me. This is what I LOVED about David 5's Pro Bundle.This is why Genesis 2 should have stayed unisex. Genesis has some nice outfits that can go either way, hell even if it was built for a specific gender, there were some articles that looked really great on the opposite. THOSE are the items I buy.
Though, IgnisSerpentus's info of his sales has got me thinking... I have to ask you PA's, out of all the male wear that you do make, which actually sells relatively better? Is it everyday clothing? Specific genre's? Textures? Because if there are some gems in that pile, maybe it would be best to focus of that particular aspect when you make male items. See what that does.
Well, I will say straight up... I will never do everyday clothing. Im totally fantasy geared. To me, that would take all the fun right out of this. I will probably also never do kiddie stuff, either and rarely do things that are frufru or otherwise construed as cute (I feel like Im faking something lol) As anyone can see by my store, Im mainly armor-focused. I also do mostly darker stuff (and when not dark per se, its gritty) When u think of my stuffs, u should think... Erotic, exotic and a little psychotic LOL
As far as male stats go, couldnt say to any degree.... other than the two packs I have (and already did kind of give those stats)
But I can say... sex sells. Better than anything else, hence why there is such a preponderance of it. Though, I spose there are always exceptions.
And btw... lol Im a chick.
First of all, "Erotic, exotic and a little psychotic" should totally be your business motto! :DAnd absolutely! That's what I keep trying to tell everyone. 3D, like most computer/tech realms is a man's world. Women have a significant contribution to 3D art, yes. but hearing how Victoria and all her slutwear sells more than anything only proves that point. But I'm also willing to believe that if there is a pattern for what makes girls sell, there must be one for guys as well. After all, as much as guys love to fantasize about sexy chicks, they also love to stroke their own masculine egos, too. ; )
But seriously, this will probably make some eyes roll, but I say someone should seriously start making some ego-inducing stuff for the guys and man-slutware to entice the ladies... : )
lol it kind of is. I have it on my fb page, tho I don't really advertise it that way. But it definitely fits.
And well, I dunno that Id go as far as to saying its a man's world per se. The funny thing is, there are plenty of female users.... but they all like and use stuff for the women too. Take me for example... I have a preponderance of female items in my runtime.... but I don't have a ton of male stuff. A few key items, thats pretty much it. Ive even rendered promos on default M4 lol And that even goes for my content.... Ive not largely focused on male things til more recently (coz my stuff tends to be armor, it does fit well there, and I do like working with M4)
On one hand, it could be a sort of a sexualization for straight males, but for women, its all about empowering women or otherwise living in fantasy worlds vicariously thru their art. So either way you slice it, female stuff is largely favored.
There is, however, also a large userbase of gay males in the community as well. These are the ones that buy a lot of the male stuff.... but it has to be bordering on erotic, I think, or at the very least construed as sexy (though, again, Im sure exceptions exist) Take Godspeed... Ive had conversations before that perhaps one reason it did well, is that Greek is sort of iconic to gays - because it was largely acceptable in Greece and the society was what introduced homosexuality most prominently in history (like Alexander the Great, for example) whereas Egyptian, which is the theme of Scorpy God, not so much. They were more incestual than homesexual per se, though there are some stories ... but for the most part, I think it was taboo (yeah, Im a history nerd... can you tell? lol)
So theres a lot of factors at play here. But again, its really only speculation. You'd really have to poll the community, and ask probing questions to get a better detailed look as to why people buy what. And well, that would be an invasion of privacy, I think, in some cases. So all we really have to go on is pure speculation.
Well, of course women buy Victoria as well. Let's face it, Victoria is the 3D Barbie for adults. And of course there's the gay male community. But just exactly how much of male content out there can we really call "man-slutware". Most of the guy stuff I've seen here is either fantasy or historical. It's nowhere near as ego stroking for guys or hormone enticing for women and homosexual men as much as all the female stuff here does for female idealism and hetero male lust.I want V4 Products not V5 or V6.

In the interest of fair market information... I didn't buy Scorpion God (or Godspeed, or Serpent Goddess for that matter) not because I don't want guy-stuff (anyone who's paid attention knows I do), but because I use Genesis, and anything as beautifully done as your work does not deserve to be mangled by Autofit. :)
Yeah, I know there are lots of Geni users, which I also take into consideration regarding my sales data. Its kind of why Ive taken the time to look at the tech again, to try to provide some content for it, and so I can get an even better idea. Tho, my gen 4 sales figures haven't really dwindled since Geni released... so theres still a large denomination using gen 4. To be honest, Scorpy god was the first set Ive had in ages that sold below expectation.
And yeah, totally agree lol Auto fit doesn't work that well, esp on things that require extra rigging. Honestly, the best way is to provide an actual conversion for any set. And when I have time, I may be doing some of my stuff for Genesis (providing the returns are decent)
But I wasn't necessarily talking about the ones who use Genesis, but more about the outcry for male stuff that has been prominent in the forum since before Genesis. Its why there is, and hardly has ever been, any male stuff - coz it just doesnt sell well. There are obvious exceptions (Godspeed, as I said, kicked butt lol) but its the general rule.
That was the only reason I didn't get Scorpion God [or the female counterpart for that matter]; it has a loincloth and those just get wrecked by Autofit. I can fix creases in other outfits using ZBrush, but separate rigging is something I don't want to touch for now. I still get almost all the stuff for M4 I see as long as it isn't fetish wear or "gangsta" clothes.I love Egyptian-themed stuff, and other mythological/historical items too, so I'm really glad to see you're working on Genesis!
Yeah, I had a feeling with those sets it was gonna be like that, since they both had easy pose loin cloths. Where in cases like Eden's flame, it converted to Genesis pretty well using auto fit alone (actually, thats one of the sets Im thinking of later converting over)
And yeah, I do like the new tech.... I mean, there are some things I really dislike about it and arent really easier, but overall, its pretty cool and much easier. Hopefully, the sets coming soon do well. It isnt Egyptian, or mythological really... its more high fantasy.

Edited to add: Of course, no one should buy things they aren't interested in, or otherwise, dont have a use for. But like I said, don't think it was the genre per se, coz it's counterpart did very strongly. It is what it is, tho.... no one has a perfect outcome every time they release. Flops are bound to happen at some point.

Thank youScorpion, I realize your frustration. When we are frustrated it is hard to remember we are in a community and everyone in the communities needs are just as valuable. I have this problem myself, but I do try to work on it.
Peace :)
I don't really see why you feel the need to pull me up on this, the conversation was going way off topic and peoples questions were getting lost. There are several threads all dedicated to chatting. Perhaps I should have just let the situation continue and returned my purchases next time I will do so.

Aw well ty so much for the compliment. I hope youll come back and post your images! Id love to see them.
As far as M4 goes, yeah, there will definitely be more. Ive found I have a great affinity toward M4 and absolutely love to work with him. Ive also got more Greek stuff planned in the future as well (right now tho, I have a few in progress... including something for Dark Apocalypse, so that will likely come after they are done)
