"If there was no pre-made poser figures. And it was just a blank animation program. Poser might not get such a bad rap. " Though it probably would have vanished after version 1.0 and no longer be around to get a rap, bad or otherwise. Whether for it's original purpose of helping traditional artists visualize the human figure, or creating finished digital productions, the figure content is integral to what Poser is about. It's 'Poser,' not 'Modeler' or 'Animator.' The fact that some people may not respect that has, or should have no relevance to those who use it.
