The fact is, REAL 3D professionals don't turn up their nose at any tool that can be used to get the job done, get the results they need. My husband is on a very professional Maya mailing list (a couple of them, actually) because he's a programmer who works with that program. Just the other day someone asked how they could do something quickly and inexpensively and someone suggested using Poser for the project, and it's not the first time people have talked about using Poser or pre-made models for various purposes. The thing is, only clueless wannabes who have no idea what real professionalism is feel the need to make the kind of negative and hurtful comments that were made there. Personally, I avoid places that are full of people like that. Elitism is bad enough, but clueless eltism... Ugh. bonni
