Then you get the morons who swear that no matter what you do with poser it is not art because you did not make every damned thing in the scene, but they will use a figure from make human and suddenly it is ok.

I was in a drawing class  a couple years ago and the professor told us to make an image with non-traditional media. I made sure that it was ok with him that I used poser before starting up. So I started working on this big recreation of Artimesia Gentileschi's Susanna and the elders, I had most of the scene set up and ready Had Susanna and one of the elders posed and was loading the second elder when poser crashed. Like any good poser user I had saved but when I tried to reload I found that the file was corrupted. There went about a whole days work.

I had several hours left before class so I just threw together a render that expressed my anger at technology in general.

this was it   http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1793811&user_id=69584&np&np

The title is fuck technology As I wrote in the description of the render  immediately upon projecting the image on the wall people started in with their claims that it was not art and that I did not even have the rights to the image. It was all the same elitist bullshit that you get from  max and maya users all the time.

My professor is one of my favorite drawing professors ever he not only told them that they were wrong, he asked what was the difference between collage and poser? They clammed up at that point.

I was kind of in a hurry so I missed the odd angle her right leg is at so that is a flaw that I wish I had not missed.

EDIT:

Oh I often like to bring up a point that is likely true, That the vast majority of individuals using max and maya are using pirated copies (most people don't have 10k, or even 5k, to just drop on a program like that) and most people actively using Poser actually bought it.  ..... (yeah I know that there are a lot of people who have bought max or maya on a student license, or they are really rich or something, but I am willing to bet that a large amount just pirate it.)
