"And the 'artist' lobby here who snort at the others.... geez, who cares? lol Arrogance is a tool of the ignorant" You won't get that from me, not ever. I've been a graphics professional for donkey's years, using whatever tools I needed at the time. Poser is something I kinda stumbled across early last year when I was making my first forays into 3D. I don't rate myself as the greatest draughtsman/technician/whatever, just because of my "professional" status. I'm yer average Paint and Pixel Monkey. Some of my finished work is art, IMO, a great deal of it is not. So what? My point is, I am genuinely enthusiastic about anyone who takes up a creative outlet, whether it's music (I taught guitar for years), painting, writing or whatever. I would much rather people be bashing out 3 chord punk songs or rendering NVITWAS than stealing cars or doing drugs. IMO, art - any art - should be accessible to anyone. Given the right kind of encouragement, I am certain a great many people would find a good deal more satisfaction from a creative outlet, rather than destructive (or self-destructive) methods. Hobbyist? Yep, I sure am. Professional? Yep, on a good day. :)
