Before condemning all the CGTalk folk perhaps one should look more closely. They actually had a poll regarding the use of Poser. 12.6% thought Poser should be banned at CGTalk. 25.2% said they only objected if someone used an available Poser model but claimed to have modeled it themselves. 11.81% said they didn't care if one did or did not use Poser. And so on... The poll allowed only a limited set of responses. However, if one sorts them into those against Poser and those who have no objection (provided one does not pretend to have modeled a figure one did not) then 84.18% see no particular problem with using Poser. It was a relatively small poll but nevertheless does not support a general anti-Poser attitude. I dare say that if one were to peruse the various fora here at Renderosity one would also find about 16% of the members are Poser-negative. Like Renderosity, CGTalk has a variety of fora dedicated to particular subjects. Understandably, their members tend to object when another's work is claimed as one's own. At Renderosity we have seen people make minor changes to Poser textures and say that it is their original work. We have seen the same thing done with actual models. And hardly a day goes by that someone doesn't serve notice that someone else has posted other peoples' imagery as their own. In all cases the members here rise in righteous indignation and worse. How is this any different than what goes on at CGTalk? This is not the first time I have read complaints here about the perceived attitude at CGTalk. It seems to me that these complaints may be as bigoted as what we claim goes on over there.
