Some of you have it all backwards.  Software and content, regardless of quality, don't make unique and appealing art.  A casual overview of the gallery here should show that simply plugging together somebody else's content, even if it's all very good individually, does not automatically result in something interesting or even attractive.  Even with access to very high quality rigged figures, people still don't pose figures very artfully, let alone convincingly; eyes are still staring off into space, expressions are still slack and dead, hands are minimally adjusted from default poses.  These are just the things that Poser is already good at; not even going into the abuses of colored lighting, depth of field, very obtrusive postwork effects and the like - things that are true in all forms of CG artwork.

Whatever piece of software can become so evolved that it's indistinguishable from a photograph, and people will still get crap like this wrong.  I gaurantee you, when Poser version 25 or 3ds Maxaya version 32a is released, people will still be getting crap like this wrong. Galleries will still have zeppelin-chested empty-eyed slack-jawed aerobics models, standing naked in temples with swords, with physically accurate bad lighting and genuine boob physics simulation - although lots of people will turn that off because really, who wants to look at great gigantic saggy boobs?*

A few people - and I don't pretend I'm one of them - will get it right, really right.  Those people may be able to make a living at it.

*edit: perfectly centered too.
