Quote - > Quote - Gaming schools probably won't use Poser.  That being said, a few years ago, I taught a "Beginner's 3D Art" course at the community college for those "Community Courses" that you always get literature on, and the only thing in there worth doing is the pottery clases :)  The class wasn't that big of a hit, even using DAZ Studio, probably because of the super-conservative nature of my students.  After working on lighting and textures with the primitives, and moving to the humans, I got a lot of drop-outs, because they were expected to load the V3 (at the time) that came with the program, and THEN the clothing.  Looking back, I kind of chuckle, because this was AFTER studying the Vitruvian Man and using some nude photos of actual humans to show off musculature and bone structure.  Ah, humans.  Never ceasing to amaze ;)

LOL...that's funny. I've been in art school since I'm 13 and we did nude studies EVEN THEN...LOL.

It is, really.  I mean, seriously.  Their daughters saw more when changing their Barbie's clothes.  God forbid I teach them to texture.  Ooh, naughty bits!  

Then again, my class was made up of mostly pre-retirement aged conservative women in a very conservative town.  I was expecting some resistance, but I didn't expect them to drop a class they paid $100 to attend.  Needless to say, the class was not renewed.
