Sorry my comments fell short. I had to take off unexpectedly before I could finish my thought. A good number of people use it professionally. Book covers, web site graphics, forensic testimony, featured art (particularly at sci fi/fantasy art shows); the list is quite long...it's even been used for a production on Discovery Channel. Take a look in the Poser gallery and you'll see examples of some really great work. Trivializing it as a "time saver" rubbed me the wrong way I guess. Some folks are doing some really serious art with this piece of software.
