I'd just like to reitererate what FyreSpiryt wrote:
""On the argument that Poser work made of purchased components is not "art":
I realize no one's going to pay attention to this, but I'm going to say it anyway, so I can get it in print, save it to my harddrive somewhere, and just copy and paste it the next time this vampiric (undying and energy-sucking) conversation comes up.
Collage is by definition an art. (Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dicitonary, 10th Edition). Thus all arguments that anything is not "art" because it is an assembly of "other's" components are invalid. ""

I was paying attention, FyreSpiryt, thank you for that !

And to those who think the Poser gallery is so full of repetitive rubbish that they never bother to look for the odd gem anymore to leave a useful and improving comment on, well , thank heaven for small mercies, isn't my life all the poorer for lack of your edifying and helpful comments . NOT .

I'm gonna go do another nekkid chik collage pik now, might even throw in a sword for good luck and then postwork it to death.

The BEST THING about Poser is that since I started using it I don't watch all that c**p on telly anymore !

PS :The other night at a party I had a jerk go all snooty on me because I'm trying to learn to use Carrara 3 (" cheap wanna be app" ) instead of Max which he uses......there's just no winning with people who see life as one big contest.......call me defeatest but why try ? Then I told him I use Poser just to see him choke on his drink ; )
