Quote - One thing I did see Stefan was a mod say there was no place for poser, a poser forum or the rest on CGS.

Well your thread at cgs has two replys from mods today,one of which says he uses Poser,the other quoting in agreement what someone else said: quality is what they want and that isn't defined by the software.

I've seen requests for a Poser forum at cgs and the reasons given for not having one are based on the fact there aren't enough Poser users at cgs to justify it.it's the same reason there's no Houdini or Flame forums at Renderosity,there simply isn't the userbase to make that worthwhile.

Quote - Stephan, how do you feel about people who buy your products (*gads I own several!) and use them in creations they then consider to be their own art works? Does this upset you? Do you feel a certain sense of gratification when someone does your meshes justice? I would love to hear your input as you are a very prominent pillar of the poser community and just happens to be one of the best modeler's out here as well..

I'm incredibly grateful for anybody buying my products as it puts food on my table.I may not like a lot of the images people make but that's all par for the course.its commercial content and no credit is required.in fact I find it quite cheesy seeing the long shopping lists people post under their images.as long as they aren't 'sharing' my content then I don't really care what people do with it.

at the end of the day I've found CGS to be a great place to grow your skills and get feedback that helps you grow(if you want it),I've learnt alot from CGS,I've also had a vast amount of work offers come through CGS front page plugs,Renderosity galleries on the otherhand I've found are more for people to get praise just for posting an image,I regard it as being mainly a hobbiest gallery.

 

Cheers

Stefan
