i'm not a designer, so can't speak from experience - but i am truly wondering why it's okay for some designers to use images that don't reflect the actual product in the UV catalog.
JUST my opinion but the avi's are prettier, don't get me wrong, my rlc avi is gorgeous (yes, I have an ego) but from a marketing point of view, if the avi is prettier, people will tend to go for that outfit over one that is on a not so pretty avi. It's kinda like if you order stuff from Wish, if something looks good on their model, you are going to think *oh I will look good in that* and then it arrives and not so much a good look lol
Try before you buy is the only way to go and I have to say, I no longer buy from people who don't use the rlc avis, even though I know there are people who make theirs in Mudbox and port them over, but you can no longer tell who these are so....
It is truly sad that designers spend hours and hours on outfits only to have the market swamped by people who can buy a dozen outfits elsewhere (or sometimes get them full perm and free) and upload them for next to nothing or the standard 15 rays.
Designing is HARD!! and I have the greatest respect for our designers.
