"The article points out Poser, why does it not also point out that if it wasn't for StehpyZ's (Gaia), Kozaburo's Hair, Nefitis and DAZ's Victoria, these images could not have been created." Well, they still could have been created, just not nearly as easily. ;-) I see your point. I have mixed thoughts about this though. I mean, it's definitely the correct thing to do, but... and I'm speaking strictly as "Devil's Advocate" here... perhaps some artists who are commissioned for work do not give credit to 3rd parties openly because, to the average non-poser-user, it makes them look as if they "brokered" the image and didn't create it all themselves. I'm not saying this is the case here, but an artist looking to get their name out there and gain credibility from their work would probably not wish to include "credits" for textures and props in a commercial image (unless they were required). Outsiders to this community would have a hard time fully understanding the mechanics of it all, and might have a hard time accepting the fact that elements in a specific image are usually purchased or given away by others. They wouldn't understand how you can call an image "yours", when so many other people have seemingly contributed to it's creation. You could see how this would potentially cast some confusion and doubt upon the artist who created the image, and is one reason Poser isn't fully accepted outside it's own community. Again, I'm NOT saying this is my own personal view of the matter, but for the sake of debate I decided to put it out there for digestion. :-)
