I disagree, agree and shake my head all at Pengi's post.
I disagree..Poser is very much like photography. I have studied photography...it's all stock lights, objects people and textures, pre posed and all you do is hit a button. But if that's all you do you get crap. You have to use those elements well...then there all sorts of post processing that goes on from coloring to recomp.
Same with poser.
I agree with much of the rest of Pengi's post. However Poser has been in many painting and illustrator books for quite awhile now...I have lots. I've seen at least one with Daz Studio in it. People are doing good things...and bad professionally (bad: Walmart's self checkout lines features posette)
And finally become hard to take you seriously when you don't follow your own advice. Original characters...sometimes..backgrounds...maybe...modeling...hard to say...post work...nil...lighting bad..shadows...faded...overall flat.
and yet..it could still be art to someone.
