Since I couldn't reply there, I'll reply here but I gotta say the threads are getting locked way to quick anymore. What's wrong with a good healthy debate? It's like the hint of disagreement and they bring in the key. Sorry folks, you can't make it go away by surpressing the discussions.

*"As for re-working a sketch: you have to actually have the ability to draw (something lacking in most 3d users). Repositioning a poser image is not comparable to sketching something from scratch.

Poser is dressing up Barbie and parading her around for your friends."*

This is like assuming that one uses Photoshop because they can't draw or paint in real life. 3D and 2D can come together for a lot of people.
For example, my latest gallery upload is a simple portrait. Hardly worth putting my name on according to those in the 2D thread right? But, while the figure and violin are DAZ items, the body texture is a WIP by me and the dress texture is mine. Both of which took a heck of a lot longer than composing the render but both of which I'm extremely proud of. There's more 2D in that image than Poser but since the end result is for Poser and it was rendered in Poser, it belongs in Poser.

Closed minds often miss quite a bit.
