Interesting. I hadn't realized that the 3D community valued "purity of render," nor that they looked down on 2D artists. I thought they looked down on Poser artists because we tend to buy our models, instead of making them ourselves. Hmmm. I don't know that striving for recognition from the rest of the 3D community is worth it, or achievable. The problem with "purity of render" for us is that Poser's lighting and render engine aren't great. So even if we got very good at it, I suspect it wouldn't measure up.
