Quote - Poser's problem is, it works only with premade stuff - stuff that's been sold - and shown - a thousand times. that limits it's use to some point. if you can't get the prop you need - and can't make it yourself - you're screwed. if you want to show a certain type of dress, but can't find it in the market - you can forget it. want to put a stunning landscape in the background? with Poser, well....

Point is, art is something that comes from your mind and soul, not from market resources. In that way Poser is limited, and maybe that's what the so called "elitists" refer to. 

 

 

Ahh, so then you're saying that if unless a person does make their own paint, oils, brush, and canvas instead of going to the nearest art store to buy supplies, you know the "pre-made stuff" from market resources, then they're not really creating art. Gotcha.

Poser is a tool. Even says so right there on the box, "Figure Design Tool". It's no different from the paint, brushes and pencils or the hammer and chisels you buy to create with.
