I'm egalitarian, I don't believe in caste systems. Thus I don't recognize claims to superior status. That said, those who create content for Poser are doing something different than the manufacturers of brushes and canvas. These pieces of content come closer to being art in and of themselves. While some brushes and some canvases may be better than others, the skill of the object builder, for example, has a far greater impact on the final picture that is created. Creating a picture with Poser is a far more collaborative process than painting on canvas. I don't mind acknowledging that, because I don't make pictures to boast, I make them to entertain. Besides, art has evolved since the 16th century. It took more than one person to model and animate Shrek, movies have directors and camerapersons and film editors (not to mention story writers and script writers and script doctors and actors who change lines), novelists have editors, and Prince doesn't even play all the instruments on his own albums anymore.
