I know and I agree. I used to draw extremely detailed pen and ink work....hair renders so detailed and passionately drawn you could count all the strands. I can no longer. I lost my hand at drawing as I lost my eye and passion for photography. My 3D interest began a long time ago when I wanted to integrate my photographic eye and lighting skills with my drawing skills. It was......or would have been the perfect match....had I been in the right place in the right place in time. I was NOT so got lost.
Poser was sort of a compromise allowing me to pretend to be a 3D artist....oh hell...it allowed me to try to grasp at the lie of being and ARTIST of any kind.. But realistically I haven't been an ARTIST in a long time. With Poser, I am simply playing with digital Barbie and Ken dolls creating illusion others want to call art while realistically escaping from my troubled reality.
Yeah in a perfect world everything would work the way it is supposed to. I know noone creates content with the intent of it NOT working properly any more than i think softwate creators intentionally write flawed "broken as you pit it" software. I am speaking with a misbegotten naivete. We can hope.
I want to apologize to everyone for having brought this into this thread. Way off topic. Just a bit of the grit in my craw and gets me going in an ugly way. Frustration and anger of late have not been my friends. Forgive me.
