Peeps..

I was NOT going to respond to this cause I don't care if you use a piece of chalk and a wet rag to make what you consider art as long as you are enjoying yourself, cool. I'm a musician and many of my peers HATE "electronic" music and HATE EVEN MORE that now "regular" people without technical knowledge and ability can "make music" with programs like Garage Band and Reason. I say awesome... go for it folks. But with that said... 95% of it aint close to what I can do when I compose sounds and music from scratch. Many times I do NOT chose to compose from scratch cause I don't have the time and the client doesn't need a "Cadillac"... they just need something acceptable. So... I guess what I'm saying is that... don't kid yourselves... poser is acceptable... but not too much past that when you compare it against a "from scratch" or heavily post worked piece. (I can hear the sending of beautifully rendered non-post worked art being emailed now)

Poser is a FANTASTIC tool. It has some great uses but as far as I'm concerned, if you aren't going to do some serious post work... its weak. Admit it. Poser straight out of the box looks like crap. If you need a quick down and dirty figure for something it CANNOT BE BEAT. But if all you are doing is placing objects in a scene and pointing some lights on them... just take the hit... it's not really that impressive. It may be a fun hobby but you cannot compare yourself to someone (WITH TALENT) who has modeled, textured and a scene/figure from scratch. I haven't even touched on lighting.

Anyway point is don't get SO defensive when peeps rip on poser... cause they have a point sometimes... its just doesn't have the capacity you get from "other" apps. Anyway... F all the peeps that are moaning about it. Keep doing what you like... but realize that there is SOME truth in what the poser haters say.

And for my final comment to rebut all I have just said...

So what the H3ll do I know :-) Just keep doin what u r doin.
