Addendum: A lot of Poser users (IMO) lack a basic understanding of lighting and how to use it. I'm emphatically not holding my pictures as great examples of good lighting, although it is something I take a lot of time and trouble with. I'm fortunate enough to have some very good and honest friends who will provide good critique on my images and give me food for thought on how to improve them "in camera". Some of the most effective images I have seen here were created by very skilled artists using Poser alone. No bought figures, hair, clothes, textures or sets, either. Just stock Poser stuff. The trick - I honestly believe - is having the artistic vision to make the image. To use a music analogy: I have been fortunate enough to collect a few very good guitars and a reasonable amount of other kit (amps, effects and so forth) to help me create my music. But - and here's the clincher - all the guitars in the world wouldn't help me a damn if I couldn't play a note. A lot of my friends are fond of saying "Tone is in the fingers" and I believe they are correct. A truly great guitarist can pick up any old plank and make it sing. Me? I'm working on it. :)
