so far, i think the word "hobbyist" means some things to which i totally agree.. I am one, so i can tell what it is. For me an hobbyist is someone who do not work (or have skills at work/professionnal level) in infography/3d jobs. as such there are some skills and theories or practice he does lck. an hobbyist is also someone who can only "work" on poser (or anything else) at his spare time, with limited ressource (money/time) so he is not willign always to spend same efforts and ressources as people who in fact have a paid job/activity related to 3d art... that's how i see it msyelf, and that's why i still define myself as an hobbyist. I use poser for personnal fun and educationnal purpose only, have a job non related to poser or infography, and cannot afford to spend too much time or money into poser, and i lack many skills of the whole process of turning a bunch of polygon and raw render into a marvellous picture as those i see here, but i learn at my pace...
