we do have to accept that we're working at a level of 3d that's pretty facile and superficial and mono-directional, while theirs is plumbing slightly deeper and more complex stratae
In my case, personally, I would never deny this. I don't do this for a living. I do it for fun only.
*****This is like the long-standing argument that 90% of what you see on TV is crap, but crap apparently sells enough that every TV season we see the same tired cliches in the same tired sitcoms. Then everyone says what a wasteland TV is, but no one seems all that interested in making anything more out of it.
And what's the result? More crap, all dressed up with nowhere to go.*****
And who will be the authority? The authority that will make all of the decisions, and that will enforce "quality" on the rest of us?
Yes, a lot of it is garbage. But -- people seem to like garbage.
The excellent art in Poser? That comes from people like David Ho, who pushes this program into the stratosphere. The rest? Pretty images, no argument there -- but to what end?
To what end are ANY pretty images? Or ugly images, for that matter? To what end are ANY images at all?
Poser is a tool, just like any other tool. And a tool can be used for either good or ill. But don't reject the tool merely because someone else doesn't use the tool in the right way.
Elitism is always a great temptation. It feels so GOOD to be superior!!!!!!
