Don't let that bother you and persist in making what YOU think is YOUR art. In the end, it is the only thing that matters. Like many other fields, Art is filled with territorial Elites that will do anything to preserve their little domain. From their point of view, it is frustrating to spend hours building their own model only to see a little punk come in with a poser image and save hours with a similar result. Likewise, traditionalist painters were upset when Photography turned into an art form. Or marble sculptors were upset at bronze artists because they used cold heartless metal instead of natural stone. And so on.... it is unfortunately a trait of human nature to categorize things and create clans. But by the same token, there is hope for us. One day poser will be just one tools in the toolbox of the digital artist. And one day, we will be the elite frustrated by future punks who will scan a scene with 3D holograms instead of painfully posing their model like we used to.
