I made the decision a while back to leave. (you can see how that worked out! LOL in the end it's turned into a real cut down in posting).

why? mainly because of the mindsets. sorry, I want to use my mind and think, not use some canned solution marketed to me by someone. examples of this are when someone asks 'can you do insert here in poser?' and are told to 'buy insert Carrara/Cinema/Vue/flavour of the moment' instead of someone sitting and thinking how can we do this in what we have?

add in the total reliance on one set of figures (yes I dislike Daz but thats for different reasons) that are used over and over and over.. c'mon! you yell when someone says 'cookie cutter art' yet using the same figures and techniques over and over is the very definition of Cookie Cutter!
