Cool character ernyoka!  I absolutely agree with everything you've said.  The versatility of Poser is amazing.  Not to sound pompous or anything, but I've always tried hard to make my characters look as un-prepackaged as possible.  The problem unfortunately is that the simplicity of Poser itself makes it hard to do so.  V3 doesn't like going out of certain bounds, so whenever I make a scene, not only do I have to be careful of the lighting I want in the scene itself, but use trickery to hide the creases and folds.

Though I do understand where some of these "snobs" come from though when they say they all look like.  For every one unique character, there's a mountain of images that look like: V3 with a few morphs in a sexy pose.  So for those with just a passing interest in seeing what Poser can do, or looking for its flaws, its easy to stereotype it.  But here on renderosity, I've seen some simply amazing images as well that truly puts Poser up there with the high end stuff.
