Ornlu, you are speaking about bad pictures. I disagree with "permanently damged". I mean, what, everybody should model their human and other figures by themselves? Sorry, no. Even if you'd consider my pictures to be playing with dolls on a shoddy background, take a look at Beton, for instance. He uses Poser figures. Or Rochr. His "Timerider" ended on 3D World cover and it uses a Poser figure. Not to mention "The Artifact" (which I personally like better) and others. The fact that Poser makes possible for people to slap something together in three minutes doesn't mean that "it takes away from the true spirit of CGI". Does Bryce take away from the true spirit of CGI because you can cobble up a landscape in two minutes? While in other programs you have to labour and sweat to create something like that?
