Yes those people showed enthusiasm in the votes, but when it comes to actually giving money to support the project, not a lot of people would want to do it, this is the reality sadly.

I think there's also the Snowball Effect to take into account. The closer it is to being fully funded, the more people are likely to help get it over the top. 3 days and $70 isn't going to get any takers while 14 days and $250 might.

Yes that why we plan to change strategy))

At least you're doing Genesis 3 now. An improvement that I can adapt from more easily, so I'll donate. It doesn't hurt that it happens to be Emma.

Natalie Portman

so Emma Watson G3 is officially green light? I see the donation amount has already surpassed 700 dollar mark.

As others have said I'm also glad things are moving onto Genesis 3. V4 is really outdated, sorry to say.

Eugenia Diordiychuk for G3

Alyson Hannigan

Glad to see Natalie Portman, for G3 which I shall be buying..,

But when can we expect the Emma Watson Release.??

Cheers,

S.K.

Hi! Unfortunately she will not be released in nearest future, all donation refunded. Cause some specific problem, I can not discuss this reason here.

With the site redesign, are funding projects now a thing of the past? Or will they be making a return eventually? If they aren't, will the pipeline be determined on votes alone, famous persons or otherwise?

Nope. All will be instead Votes goes to history... Funding remaid so each customer can add Funding. Think on next weekeds will be new founding round)

And it will be more like Votes, but you vote Donations)

Is it right that you will be moving away from V4 and M4???
Does this mean a move away from Poser also? So many good vendors are stopping Poser work, it would be a sad day if you decide to do the same....

No. We plan to use more effective method to know which products will be sale fine... And we do not plan to change models, cause V4M4 still have better sale then others...

I open new funding round. So you may free to add your Campaigns now!

When each round is over, do the losing campaigns get refunded or do they get a head start in the next round?

Main idea - all money goes to winner. (of cause you can request refund, before round finish) Each round starts with 0 usd on all. Looks bit cheating, but it will make faster funding one campaign, in result artist will have stable product production

P.S. You should not add again campaign for next round cause they all will be restarted)

Let me get this right. For example if I made a donation amount to support Mia Kirshner project, but the Olivia Munn project won at the end, so all the rest of other donations for other projects will be pooled into Olivia Munn project?

Unfortunatly yes. There some kind of bad side of this solution. But:

*You can request refund your donation
* You can create your funding now, and really easy, you mostly need only image
*After long thinking, no way how we can fund projects regulary, without making lots of fundings that never will be made.So this idea comes to mind.
*And of cause looking for advise how to make this funding better)

On one hand, having it like this can lead to an avalanche effect, where, because it looks like this one's going to win there's no point in trying to fund something you actually want this round, as everything goes to the winner anyway. On the other hand, keeping funds from round to round would mean some just sit there for months (possibly years) and inch penny by penny to the desired goal.

I can see the benefits and drawbacks to both formats.

At least this way, we do have a bit more options when it comes to choosing and funding compared to the previous method.

Only 2 projects so far have progressed beyond 0%

I'm now curious to see how long it'll take for one to reach its max.

I've been away for several months dealing with real life stuff, so is the Olivia Munn project still going?

Looks like that one made it through.

It might be a while before another one makes it through if the current trend is any indication.

Well Olivia Moon in Development, soon willl be avaliable, pitty we can only do 500 usd. SO no expression library.
So next round is starts;)

What happens since none of the campaigns were funded?

They just sit there through future rounds

Yes. Thats right;)

We need 700 in total and winner gets all...

Hello Wartech, is there any plan to make "AlDrio" for Poser V4? Just asking.

Can I ask for a character for Daz dragon 3?
for example Drogon from the GOT series?

Yes... but we will not make addon for Daz Dragons... But it can be done from zero. Addons cost much more than standAlone solution
