*'and whilst i agree to a certain extent with wizardkiss shouldn't we all strive to do better in our so called art. shouldn't we look and listen to those with the knowledge to help us. (to good advice not demands) i fear that to often we close ourselves off thinking we know better. i know for a fact that without the help of others my art which i can't in all honesty class as art would be much inferior than it is.

*To choose to strive to improve the art or any other activity I persue in life would certainly be my philosophy, but for some it seems a forced option - 'make more of an effort or don't bother at all'.
Perhaps my interpretation of the original poster's tone is misread, but that was kind of the impression I got - an attitude I cannot abide. It is an attidude that seems to me by intent to lend more support to the views of the elitists than to offer balanced and helpful advice to those that might want it.
Had someone asked the question ' why arn't I satisfied by the images I create with Poser?', or 'what am I doing wrong?', I wouldn't have a problem with such giving of advice. But there was a politic behind that original post from my reading of it - one that tries to defend the corner of the Poser bashers and detractors of the more casual 3d hobbyists, even if it does have some reasoned and helpful points.
