And now I dare to post an idea I've got via mail. In fact I've got it two weeks ago or so but our mail accounts where messed up during February and until today. So I've got the a big part of my mail with an up to four weeks delay...
I am not sure what you think about this idea but I thought I should not keep it but post it for further discussion. I am adding what I recieved as I am not able to express the idea as good as you read it here:
"Is the Antonia team planning a release party of some sort? As a side note: I have a marketing idea that came to mind the other day for Antonia that you might want to pass on to odf. Or my idea can just be ignored, as I'm sure odf has his own plans.
But my idea is.... Antonia should be put into the Renderosity market as a free model, just like DAZ does with V4. And of course Renderosity should support, protect and advertise the Antonia product. Odf can still keep the rights to his creation and its new versions. Renderosity gains will be the share of revenue from the merchants creations and support for a well advertised Antonia. Advertisements is key to the success of any new product. This is one of the reasons some new self created character models do not become popular, it is because the creator can not afford the advertisements like DAZ can. DAZ and V4 are everywhere you look with regards to 3D and art, DAZ success is from advertisement.
This is just an idea and it can be ignored. My hope is, I would like to see some other model with just as much popularity and support as V4."
So what do you all think about it?
I'm not always right, but my mistakes are more interesting!
And I am not strange, I am Limited Edition!
