Quote - "I see folks over at the other sites slamming Poser. Not the other way around." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Xeno and others the stories of people online and elsewhere slamming poser are well documented blah blah..... Im Questioning Xenos assertion that there is this secret cabal of "pros" using poser but hiding this fact out of some "embarrasment" or shame this assertion seems gratuitous.
There's plenty of professional uses of Poser to be found -- but there's little corresponding acknowledgement of that fact to be found on the "pro" websites. However: there is a prevailing attitude of "Poser stinks" to be found there. So.......if you put two and two together: the likely conclusion is that the "pros" must not want to admit that many of their number use something which they publicly profess to despise. Even when it's clearly the best solution for certain applications in the "pro" world -- offering an easy, fast way to illustrate something: without having to expend 500 man hours to produce the illustration. In such cases, the purity of "Art" might have to take a backseat to practical considerations. Like time & money.
It is true: the resultant embarassment might be gratuitous -- or at least caused gratuitiously.
