... humm .... now ... thinking about it again the art on the Poser box i'snt that good, as a matter of fact I've seen tons of better less postworked artwork that really depends almost solely on the Poser render engine...

But that is a matter of personal taste.

My point is that a purchase decission should not be made by judging the artwork on a sales packaging box.

Thats publicity = advertising = thin models advertising your weight loss program, perfect postworked white teeth smiles on your tooth paste package, a guy who is a gym slave selling vitamins...

To get real, publicity is not honest most of the time and we know it!

(saddly but true, its the consumer's job to research and if posible try the demos, specially for an expensive 3D software application)

I dont know how you see it, but for me the box artwork is just "makeup"

What really drove me to buy Poser is the awesome artwork that you guys post all over the web using Poser as one of its ingredients !!! postworked or not!

now thats really cool !!!

... and people like Dr. Geep, Narcisus, Faceoff, Catharina Harders, Kozaburo, Blackhearted, Anton and a ton more ! (too many to mention here) that trully showcase Poser's capabilities, alone or with other software...

in the end Poser is way too cool, the box artwork pales in comparison to what Poser is really capable of, and yet its still just a tool on your artist toolbox!

Dont worry about the box artwork on a sales package,

It's the artists who use the software who really should be our inspiration!

and yes, postwork is also cool, its everywere to conceal reality flaws and help the artist and even dishonest publicity to equally comunicate an idea

Our call to believe it or not

yours,
