"I have made my own inks and ground my own pigments... but that doesn't make my art more less less "art" than anything anybody else creates. The only thing which matters is the intent of the artist and whether the piece speaks to us." This is an argument that's made quite often when defending the use of Poser in 3D, and I've pondered it myself quite a bit. I still can't seem to make the connection between a painter making his own tools from scratch, and someone using Poser. Rather, in 3D terms, I would liken it more to a painter having someone paint the base coat or choosing the kinds of brushes and pigments to use, and then the painter using that template as a starting point for his creation. In my opinion, the comparison of a painter who grinds his own pigments from scratch is more like comparing a 3D artist who actually WROTE the application he uses.
