Quote - The lack of enthusiasm for Poser isn't because it doesn't cost alot. It is because of licensing restrictions and the overall lack of usability of the program.
Architecture?...Industrial Design?...Game Design?...Real-Time?
You can't blame someone working in industry that has no use for Poser for not using Poser!!!
You also can't blame an animation studio working with multi-million dollar budgets under intense pressure from wanting to use the best tool they can get their hands on.
That isn't elitism, it is reality, and common sense.

What on earth are you talking about?  WHERE did I say that those "with no use for Poser should use Poser"?  Nor did I insist that "animation studios with multi-million dollar budgets" should use Poser.  Talk about your straw man arguments......... :rolleyes:

You appear to be completely missing my point here -- my comments weren't referring to technicalities -- they were referring to attitudes.

So.....Maya is "better" than Poser?  Yes......but the mere fact of "inexpensiveness" doesn't mean that something is as worthless as some claim.  And, yes -- I have seen such attitudes come across. 

Quote - You might as well go ahead and try to explain that rendertime nonsense you are talking about too. I have never, ever, EVER seen anybody anywhere at anytime say that 'slower is better' in any area of 3d graphics; or any time (=money) based operation for that matter.

 

You might as well go ahead and explain your nonsense over whatever it is that you are talking about here.  Once again: I was referring to attitudes.  However, there's a danger in communicating subtlety in the forums.  Such matters sometimes manage to totally escape the notice of the literally-minded.

Yes -- I've seen such attitudes on display.  Perhaps you don't notice them: but that wouldn't be surprising.
