"Subject: What criticisms of Poser are valid?"

If you ask this question of Poser it should then be asked of 3D Studio Max, Maya, Cinema4D, Carrara, Lightwave etc...

I have read alot of negative things from others saying Poser is a toy, I disagree it's a paint brush with alot of pre-mixed paint.

I wounder why so many applications connect to or want to connect to this toy? I think if it wasnt for Poser many people would not be as interested in 3D.

Poser does come with alot of 3D content and more can be purchased or downloaded for free.
Some would say that because you didnt create the model what you render with it is not art,
My question is if I didnt grow the tree but just carved into the wood; would it be less of a sculpture?
