Phantast's round-up: Fyrespirit wrote: "Hmm. Third of the month, I guess it is time for this discussion again." Well, if we had decent forum software so that threads didn't die after three days, we wouldn't need to keep restarting threads on the popular topics. Quoll wrote: "I challenge you to render a 20 page multi-panel web comic in one week using Poser." You picked the wrooong person to challenge. Finister will do that without even breaking a sweat, believe me.

I was like ...huh? ok like it wasnt even a problem that 4OTHER programs were used..no that was not a problem didnt get snide remarks..BUT the fact that the figure was a 'poser' figure did." Yeah. I suggest a counter-offensive. We all visit Epilogue each day and post comments saying, "well, this picture is not bad except for the obvious use of Maya". MAYA! I mean, come on, what lazy sods. A REAL artist uses Notepad and writes .obj files from scratch. I bring a professional model into my studio, have her pose, and then go, "Hmm - vertex at 12.034 0.576 -3.412; then, oh, 12.214 0.588 -3.399" and so on till it's done. That's true art.
