No. I am not a Troll, nor was it a Troll question. As someone who has hardly used Poser, and never professionally, I am wondering about various things and was simply posing a question, obviously not in the very best way, but it was certainly not intended to imply anyone using Poser is not a real artist. Nor did I have any particular definition of 'professional' in mind other than the subjective one that each one of us has. Art is by its nature in the eye of the beholder, and there are different kinds of artists, after all. Who am I to imply anyone who uses any particular tool is or is not an artist? I can say I like it, or I don't, or I think it looks professional, or I think it does not, but I cannot, and did not intend to, impugn anyone's qualifications as an artist. Frankly, as a newbie who only stumbled across renderosity a few weeks ago and who has not stayed up with what Poser is now capable of, I have been absolutely 'blown away' by the quality of some of the images done with recent versions of Poser, many of them posted here on Renderosity -- which is why I finally went out and upgraded form version 2 to 5. (Please note that I still consider myself a Poser newbie as I was disappointed in and never used version 2.) My question was a sincere one from someone who is now hoping to use Poser in my own work, but who has also noticed the tremendous variation in quality being achieved by various artists, and who is uncertain of how much is truly possible without serious postwork. For whoever said to leave the postwork, no-postwork debate behind and that it is simply the end result that matters ('Crescent,' I believe), I respect the sentiment, but I think the debate is more than academic. If it is possible to get professional results with Poser without much postwork, i.e., to spend many extra hours studying and experimenting with Poser, then it would follow that that would be a more productive application of one's time and energy than to spend several hours on postwork (that otherwise might have been avoided) with each and every image one creates. On the other hand, if it is unrealistic to expect consistent and desirable results without significant postwork, then there must be a point at which one will be considerably better off accepting Poser's limitations and simply planning on some less than minimal postwork each and every time. So if I offended anyone, it was not intended. I would not myself be considering Poser as seriously as I am if I did not consider it a worthwhile tool. I'm just 'feeling things out' so to speak, trying to get a sense from other more experienced Poser artists what is and is not possible with and without postwork (and how much), not because I think one methodology is superior to another in regard to the end result but because, as a Poser newbie trying to 'come up to speed,' I'd like to get a sense of how best to allocate my time.
