so..there's no perfection anywhere. There are a set of tools, of which Poser is 1. Without going into the 'postwork' thread, you have a tool in Poser, and it does what it's designed to do. You can accept it with it's limitations, or you can actually use those limitations as a template to go beyond what it can do by using it in new and unique ways (truth in advertising- I'm nowhere near figuring out it's limitations..;)

I commonly use a minimum of 3 programs (Bryce, Wings, Mojoworld, or Topmod/Blender) just to get to the Poser stage of my pics, and another to make the thumbnail (Gimp..;). You can take other's characters to make what you want, or you can try making your own things, or mix it up.

No one is a greater critic of an artwork than it's creator. There's always something you wished you'd changed, or done differently, or seen after you've posted it..;) So don't sweat it; if Poser does what you want it to do, then fine. If you need more, it's out there, it just may not come from Curious Labs (or Metacreations, or Daz Studios...yada yada..;) Now assembly the wood there, the stake here, and let the flaming begin..;)

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
