99 posts already!!! This forum is alive after all... Gonna make it 100; I remember opening Poser for the first time. After some frustrating hours spent in Lightwave, I remember myself saying; what the f*ck; why should I learn to model organic models (people)?, Poser has men, women, boys, girls and props ready-made for me to pose as I wish... The high I was on lasted only briefly, since I soon discovered that the meshes where very dense and they slowed down my LW-Layout (since I wave on a cheap old laptop), and adjusting the shapes prooved nearly impossible. I can live with the fact that many people create nice pics with poser, computers gave us that power, so why not use it? But for me; creating a human figure with the least amount of polys gives way more satisfaction and allows me to make "easy" adjustments wherever I like... Poser (Daz to a certain extend also) can be of great help to people who wanna get "easy" results in a "short" amount of time; give full attention to lighting and posing but not worry about modeling and texturing too much, but some of us want more "creative" input. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying people who use Poser are not creative, they create, thereby they are creative, but I guess it all comes down to how much control you want on the stuff you create.
