WAS: The DAZ Effect... SEND DIFFERENT IMAGES. 2006-07-11 - By Ringo Monfort
Back
Hi, Claudia.
Yes you are correct the images at DAZ are mostly of female figures.
I was thinking here if we want to see the type of images that were at
the Eovia site than we have to start sending stuff to the Galleries.
Right now DAZ doesn't have any our images there. The Eovia gallery
could not be transfer and now it is part of Polyloop. So if we what to
see different image lets send them.
Landscapes.
Models.
creatures.
furniture
etc.
So that they notice the difference. If we don't send them anything
than the new users that just love to render female figures will and
that is what will be in the Gallery.
Lets flood DAZ with OUR images so the difference. But if we just talk
about it here nothing will change.
