the original intent of larry was that poser renders would be used as the bases for artists' drawings, not the other was round. instead, poser evolved into something that non-artists could use to produce images of humans, thus democratising the process of image creation, whilst at the same time infuriating 3d snobs and traditional artists as well, in exactly the same way that church and royal authorities in the middle ages were infuriated by those who introduced the practice of reading and writing to the commons.
