I totally agree with the point of view of people here (of course, being a poser user myself for more than 2 years). Now, since it is a pretty one sided thread, i will play the devil's advocate a bit: Taking the studio analogy again, you don't have to forget that you can get the best lights, best camera, best makeup and best models, the average guy would just make a shitty picture out of it... it is the same with poser, with one exception: you can even buy light, camera, poses and textures settings, so it can be like someone put everything ok for you in the studio and you just arrive and click the camera button and say you are the artist... Now once again, i totally agree with what i read in this thread, and i don't see why some people critisize (sp) the work of others when they use lets say a vicky char. with an existing texture and cloth... If you take the same char, textures and clothes, some people will make beautiful, creative pics and some other won't... that's life :)
