Quote - I don't think it's a rant on Poser per se (haven't read the article); I think it's more the artist's lack of vision that has long been associated with DAZ products.

Well, my last post was addressing aeilkema and some of the attitudes reading his post reminded me of. Mental Roy uses derogatory humor, and everyone is fair game and I get that. What I am though, is disappointed with the tendency of some people to deride others who show lesser talent but still want to be involved in 3d. (I envy the talented and admire their work and will never match their abilities. But is it necessary to insult me because I want to have some fun but am not one of the 'elite?') > Quote - Though it may be a relaxing hobby, does the world really need more heavily post-worked blank-eyed-stare gratuitously nude female portraits?

Who's to say what it needs? If it makes people happy to create what they can, doesn't that improve the world some little bit, to have more happy, relaxed people? Doesn't the derision degrade the world a bit? Does the world need more of that? (I should add that I don't really personally feel insulted by these comments. I know I am not an artist. I have fun dabbling in some modeling and texturing, but I'll never be working for Pixar, and don't wish to.)
