that's quite funny...when i look at art, no matter the medium i always look for how well it is done and not pile everyone in the same garbage as the others.

i keep hearing a lot of people bash poser, but 75% of them hasn't even touched the software to see it for what it is. whenever someone pops in my gallery at dev art and asks me why i use it, i'd always say "because it is the one software i can afford aside from vue and if given the chance that i can afford the high end ones, i'll probably be better than most of them".  people have preconceived notions just because poser uses what they call a "ready made" figures and props but lemme tell ya, without  an understanding of how the lighting, materials, and all the other things involved in it and let's not forget IMAGINATION - you won't be able to generate a decent artwork. i get a lot of commissions using poser...granted, i only use it to create the first part of the scene and finish it off in vue but i still use it. bottom line to this really is - jealousy. because nobody really fav or watches them as much as people do with other 3d users out there and some of them happens to use poser and that really gets their undies in a bunch.

in closing, like i always say - their software might be bigger than mine, but i know how to use mine ;)
