And I'm no artist, either.

When I quoted Dale B, it was this remark I found most inspirational:

" Yes, 90% of Poser output is utter shit. So is 90% of Maya, Max, Modo, Lightwave, etc. The only difference is that 'big app users'  bury their turds in the backyard and pretend they never existed."

...which I guess wasn't clear. Poser users buy this programme, start doing stuff on it, are so impressed with what they've done they want to show it off, never realising that in the really big CG world, it's utter rubbish. Perhaps we should hold DA and Rendo responsible for offering a place to display their little "accomplishment"? instead of saying: "take that crap down! what do you want to do, give Poser a bad name? People look at this stuff!"

Aww, c'mon, really? If some poor bored schmoes from CG Society have nothing better to do than to come over and look at "Poser Art" critically - well, let's keep it in perspective. Consider the "artist". Consider the training. Consider the fact that to tar all creation using this application with the same brush is idiotic.
