Since I never do postwork, nobody will say "did you paint that." My renders do not look painted. Did I make it? Yes. I use tools and materials made by others - and by myself, if I can't find something that I need, I model it myself, and combine and tweak and test again. Some sets that can be bought contain ready-to-go building blocks, including scenery, figures, poses, lights and camera settings, and all the Poser user has to do is click a few times in a few libraries and hit the Render button. In such a case, there is no real contribution of the Poser user. The settings in such a set are useful as a kind of tutorial, that's the way I view them. I NEVER use predefined light sets. They don't do what I want. I always set up ligthing from scratch. Poses: I often use a base pose from a library that looks a little like what I want, and then I tweak it until it's right. So is it mine? Sure. Could I have made it without the base materials? Definitely not. And, like cooler said, did Rembrandt make his own pigments, did he weave his own canvases, did he construct his own easel from a tree he chopped down himself? I don't think so.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
