Look at My Characters I've created over the years, particularly V3 Spike and V3 Buffy (Co-created by Rogue Element). It took hours upon hours of fiddling with subtle dial settings to obtain good likenesses of real people. It is like sculpture. Not everyone can do a good likeness. Furthermore, what comes out of poser is a skeleton for me. It is the first part of a two-part project and it's not the longest part of that. Post-work is nothing more than Pure Art and having an "eye". Knowing what to move, what to add contrast to, knowing when to saturate or Blur, all this stuff takes instinct or training that not everyone has or ever will. Poser is a tool, and each image it's a part of should be based on it's own merits, not the software used to create it. -WTB
