1) someone tried to start up a Facebook page for La Femme fans, and it got shot down. Lot's of people don't like FB.
2) at Renderosity, you won't have that same $3.50 problem unless you make Sasha-16 a 'product' with a price, although discounted down to zero. That's what they did, and it caused a (stupid) uproar.
3) I second perpetualrevision's suggestion: your own webserver. It is not expensive.

Godaddy: $3/month to host simple website, includes email service.

Facebook is dying anyway, I think it depends on the age of your audience but Instagram is the most popular social media medium right now (although we're talking about attracting younger internet users, so maybe that doesn't fit in with the type of people you're trying to advertise SR1 to).

I wonder why eclark doesn't include Sasha in his Poser content directory? Bias? He surely knows all about her, and it's such a huge boon to those people still using V4 (like me).

It is realistic to expect a "cool reception" to Sasha-16 at Renderosity. "La Femme" is a Renderosity-sponsored and promoted project, right?

Lots of people post renders with Snarly's EZSkin shader-creator in play, and they don't give him credit. He/it has become a generic public utility.

I fear some people might think of Sasha-16 as a utility of the commons.

Maybe you should charge $100 for the base technology, and another $100 for KV.

@Karina

Anomalous is using a figure he calls 'V4WM+++', which is basically his own tweak of (I think) Poserplaces' old V4WM, that he has tweaked and refined over many years. Not SASHA, but it still shows the potential of re-rigging V4

I think what's needed is a one-page summary of why Sasha-16 is so great, how it improves V4 but maintains compatibility with V4's vast clothing, textures, etc. and best of all, is free. It should have some pictures that demonstrate the ways in which Sasha fixes issues with bending of joints, posing hands, is anatomically correct (maybe that would be censored a bit, lol).

One good webpage that spells it out very clearly can make a huge difference. Daz stuff sells because they really know how to market (sexy pictures of their attractive figures in skimpy clothing...)

Once the webpage is set up, then have people put it in their taglines (especially when posting on forums like Renderosity, so that people can click on the link, which will take them right to the webpage to read more about why Sasha is great). The page should avoid being too technical, it should focus on the artistic advantages of using her.

[Karina, please tell us if you welcome comments about the splash page details, or not.]

Wickerman, are you aware of this:

I would suggest stronger emphasis that Sasha is good back to Poser 9 or whatever. That is important counterpoint to those interested in La Femme, but who would have to upgrade their Poser license.

"SASHA-16 basically is just another version of Daz3D's "Victoria 4" (V4). But she " I would change to the positive ...
"SASHA-16 is an advanced version of Daz3D's "Victoria 4" (V4). She ..."

Another suggestion: this sentence: "To use SASHA, you need Daz3D's Victoria 4.2 installed in your runtime and you also need the "Morphs++" pack from Daz3D. That's all!" should be at the top, and perhaps changed to:

"To use SASHA, you need
1) Daz3D's Victoria 4.2;
2) "Morphs++" pack from Daz3D: and
3) the FREE Sasha download on this page. That's all!"

... and the explanation of why she is called "Sasha-16" should be near the bottom.
