I was just browsing the Vue forum, when I picked up an, unmistakable, whiff of rhino fart. Traced the pong back here and found an intelligent thread, that you couldn't push further OT if you tried. Looks like the ideal place to ask the question that I've been itching to ever since I joined 'rosity.

Please nobody take offence, no criticism implied, but...
so many people, particularly animators, here are trying to produce 2D cartoon output, why do they use 3D software to do it? There's so much 2D animation software out there: from the cheap, but excellent, Moho to the hugely expensive Plastic Animation Paper via Macromedia Flash MX

Why do people use 3D software like Poser and Vue to produce 2D cartoons? This does not compute.
