I do it for fun only. So do a lot of the folk at CGTalk, surprisingly enough. Sure, there's a lot of hardcore professionals at CGT, but there's far more amateurs who play with this stuff for the sheer hell of it. >> 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? Irrelevant, sorry. It's not about "authority"; it's not about someone being an "arbiter". It's about the sheer OVERLOAD of a single theme, expressed in dizzying repetition, to the point where no style prevails because there is no style in the first place -- look at the Hot 20: almost everything there looks like it came from the same artist because it's all the same style. Poser is capable of far, far more -- but you have to make the personal choice to delve or not. Most folks won't -- BFD. >> It feels so GOOD to be superior! So who's really being superior here? Us or them? Somehow I sorta think that's one of those questions we really would prefer not to answer because the answer might not be the one we'd really like to hear.
