Quote - Yes Poser art looks like Poser. ... And your point is??
Some of the better comments that can be received on Poser is that the viewer couldn't believe it was Poser or Vickie. The image bevans84 posted, of his daughter, certainly falls into that category. That could be posted in any 3D forum and not be criticized for being an obvious Poser render. I'd love to see a step by step process of how that image was created. Take a look at Mec4D's gallery for some other examples of images that don't look like Poser even though they are
http//www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/browse.php?user_id=195109I cannot think of an instance where a person can say that an image looks like it was done in Poser and feel that it's a compliment.
The problem that some people have with Poser is that it's easy to create mediocre or crap art. Highly complex, many polygon, humanoid figure crap art. Often which look like another artist's crap art.
In my case I don't care if everyone recognizes the hair clothing or whatever because I do story, and as any comic reader will tell you, add some text and really crappy art becomes acceptable.
Just like crappy text is more acceptable when shown next to art, even crappy art.
So it really depends on context.
