...SEX SELLS - it really does!

Seriously though, I don't "fully" understand those that are against poser nudity. I mean theres really only one difference between say, an image of a really sexy car, and a really sexy nude; the nude will gather more interest.

But, just because someone post's a nude, it doesn't mean to say that more time can't have been spent creating that nude, than creating the car. I suppose what I'm trying to say is, why should a nude be dismissed, just because "it's a nude".

Remember, real humans are what we see in detail on a day-to-day basis. So, when something is even the "slightest" bit wrong on a CG human, we "really" notice it. CG nudes are very difficult to do with conviction, and I for one applaud anyone who can capture my eye with a GC nude - it's an art that deserves respect, because to my mind, it's "the" hardest thing to do correctly in CG.

I hate the fact that some people can dismiss a piece of CG art, just because it contains nudity - I mean so what?

On the other hand though, I also think that people should be forewarned of nudity, and it shouldn't be thrust upon them in a thumbnail or whatever - it should always be the viewers choice.
