I see one real danger in Poser .Poser can make you lazy.Poser has still the best 3D figures around you can buy.Look at TurboSquit and compare. So why building better ones on your own? I think Poser's rigging technique is bad nowadays .Lots of ugly and unrealistic joint creases are one of the major problems that are still not solved.Why havn't I imported a Poser Figure into C4D (in my case) and gave it an advanced serious 3D app rigging ? I don't know. Maybe because animating with Poser seems to be tempting easy.---I think Poser is seen as crap because lots of artworks consist of prebuilt content that is used more or less clever.I cannot completly decide for one point of view.Of course I would give higher ratings to a scene, where every object or figure was built up from the scratch , but on the other hand a good picture is a good picture no matter which content is used.Wll maybe this struggle is as superficial as a hole in your head.You should be happy with your software and be able to increase your skills. --- a happy 2008 to all of you
