OK, I just checked my post at CGS... I really am steamed. I wanted to ask a question in a neutral place about weight mapping. But that was before I found out about poser sucking and such over there. Now I am even more angry, because strangely they think I came there to be validated?! o0 No I came to ask a technical question and was curious.

I even now, don't understand what the issue with poser and purchased models is! They buy them! Just from TurboSquid and other places like that and even tho they aren't people, they are props. Still the same thing tho.

I do appreciate the lively intercourse we generated here tho!

I create and sell at mainly conventions and commisioned pieces. I never post my best, because generally there is this rule on LE's in California, so I have to keep them private to protect the consumer. But that isn't my point. If I make something, and it sells, I do so by using a model I buy and creating a setting unique unto the piece, I don't "take it out of the box" render as is and just stick it on a page! Which is how any of us who do art do it. So why if we can sell the finished resulting render, did we not create? Why is it necessary to even defend the work?

But it gets better too... I am from now on, never going to second guess my work. Because anytime I feel unsure, I know there is a whole community just waiting to rip it to shreds... based on the program alone. So what have I got to lose!!! :D

I have to nap, but I just bought Maddilerium's new character, and I can't wait to do her justice!

thank you all... and good nite!
