I fail to see the point of defending Poser against Max/Maya. They simply don't compare..... funny thing around here is we all stand in awe when DAZ or anyone else creates a new figure for us to use. Did they use Poser to create the figure? No, they used Max or Maya or perhaps lightwave to do so. The people using Max or Maya have every reason to look down on Poser if they want to do so. To them Poser is a mere toy. Dressing Vicky in Poser or creating 'vicky' from scratch in Max/Maya is a whole different thing.

The only reason some around here get offended is because they just refuse to see what they are..... grown ups (some still kids perhaps) playing with a digital Barbie and Ken. That's all we are people.... Poser compared to Max/Maya is only a toy, but a cool toy.

Why should they stand on awe of a render created with Poser knowing how it was made? A good number of those people creates figures from scratch (try doing that with Poser) and yet we want their respect when we merely dressed a puppet we didn;t even create ourselves.

Get real..... those people have every right to look down on Poser, the true snobs and elitist are found around here.... Poser users wanting to be on the same pedestal as Max/Maya users, trying to be something they're not and never will be. Get real, know your place, you're just using a toy that will never earn the respect of a real 3D artist.

As for art...... click a few buttons and call it art.... any fool can do it. That's not art. Sad to see that you people all get worked up about something you're not.

For me Poser is a tool that gets me from A to B quickly. I'm a Cinema4D users also, creating my own models. Working with Poser and working with Cinema4D is something else, it just doesn't compare. With Cinema4D my imagination and skill is the limit.... with Poser whatever I can buy is the limit. I don't need skill to use Poser, I do need skill to use Cinema4D. Anyone can use Poser and create something good with it. If you've got enough money to spare you can do cool stuff with Poser, even if you're not an artist or lack skills. Try that with Cinema4D, it won't work.

Last remark...... as far as I'm concerned you can defend Poser all you want, but once those people look at the Poser galleries here, they most likely roll around in laughter. I as a Poser users still do. To them all that Poser is good for, when looking at the galleries, is to satisfy your sexual/sensual obsessions. And mos tof it is done pretty bad also. As long as the galleries around here are full of the badly composed created in 5 minutes nviatwas renders, how will Poser ever earn a good name? When I first looked at the Poser galleries, I seriously wondered if anything good could be created with Poser. Poser is used to create so much garbage that it's no wonder it has such a bad name. I a Max/Maya users looks at the galleries here, he's most likely to see junk as far as he/she's concerned. Badly put together images, the same figures over and over again. Total lack of imagination, skill and expertise. I don't blaim them they think Poser is a toy, 90% of the galleries sure give that impression.

Artwork and 3DToons items, create the perfect place for you toon and other figures!
