I've been posting my 3D art on deviant art for a couple of years now, and in fact there are several Poser related communities on the site.

I'm a member of at least 3 communities for Poser artists there.

This kind of attack is unusual there, but it will happen, just as it happens in a number of places. Some of the creators of the content Poser artists use are themselves the ones making these attacks against their own customers - albeit they won't do it so publicly, put them in a chat room together and it comes out...

It's the same sort of thing you would get against photography, as well as graphic design styles such as Dadaism, Sampling in music, and Pop art such as Warhol. In time all of these things have come to be seen as art, but when they were young they all faced criticism.

One thing I have noticed is that the people making many of these attacks against our style of 'Poser Art' are themselves often quite bad at composition, lighting, rendering, and / or postwork. They can make the blocks, but they don't know how to put them together - sometimes all you are seeing is resentment against someone who takes their blocks and puts them together into something much more beautiful or 'artistic' / 'inspired' / 'themed' whatever than they could...

A toilet is not art, and the maker of that toilet not an artist, but in the hands of Duchamp it becomes one of the most famous pieces of art in the 20th century. It has been a long time since the plumber was yelling at the Dadist and saying he was the better artist... and in time these critics of Poser art will die down as well.

Quote - "Sooooo, since CNN is a news site that hosts news stories, I suppose that makes CNN responsible for all the crap going on in the world. ;)"

No, that's Fox News that holds the blame.

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
