Quote - good answer, Conniekat8! ;) @fls13 aah, perfection...i see! on the one hand there's a guy who's spent sleepless nights to make this simple prop look perfect. the community ignores his work completely. on the other hand we have a guy who assembles some prefab meshes and textures in 3d-space, adds some prefab lights, moves the camera a bit and hits 'render'. the hit-meter is glowing red-hot. purist?

It's just a fact of life... What's appealing to look at and draws attention is not necessarily something that is always the most sophisticated or technically advanced and most worth while in other aspects.  You know, like Paris Hilton or Brit... Sure, they're pretty girls and have glam lifestyle, but there are plenty of other things they don't have...  And there's plenty of gekettes out there that have 10 times the brains and class, but only 1/4 of the looks...  You can find the same dynamic in politics, sports, religion, workplaces, just about anywhere.... 
Any time someone neglects to focus on and develop their own qualities, and gets jealous of someone else being ahead of them, in some aspect or more gifted, or has a better tool or what not, that little flare-ups like this happen.

It's not about Poser vs. the other apps or the purists etc...  It's all about someone not getting the attention they thing they should be getting and then going about getting it the wrong way... or lashing out on some unsuspecting poster whom is learning their app of choice and getting some responses.

And frankly, you put a nekkid girl next to a bowl of perfect fruit in a roomfull of guys, the girl will get more attention. That's like... um... life 101.  If that angry poster on deviant was smart, he/she could have modelled something with more mass appeal I dunno, like a four-boobed girl from-two-doors-down kicking the Poser's girl next door ;)....  and it could have been art with a social commentary, and show off modelling skills at the same time, and even if they were expressing their discontent, at least the viewer could gain a tad of respect of creativity and skill etc....  But, some people's expression hasn't grown past lashing out and four letter words. shrug 

(PS. Nothing against GND, it just struck me as a potentially funny juxtaposition. )
