Quote - > Quote - 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.

Well, yanno - maybe actually asking  your questions might have given you some useful answers?

There even is a "Character Rigging" forum at CGS. 

Rushing in and complaining that Poser isn't treated fair doesn't really help get a reasonable reaction.... :rolleyes:

Yes I agree. I was really upset that before I even got a response to my question, which I actually did post but pulled, I started seeing all of these poser-hating posts. It was immature of me and I actually regret my  pulling that question and ranting... BUT! I have to say of the nearly 30 posts I encountered. The tone was the same in each and every one. One of the common comments was "we" (*poser users) were stealing work and business from the "Pros".

Now I do not know how this sentiment occurred unless there is some jealousy and insecurity on thier part. I mean Robyn is right, it is two different forms of a simuliar medium and one is not exactly used in high end animation, I did specify 3D-2D art. It's like music, you have Stevie Ray Vaughn, and you have Jimmy Page... neither is the same style but both are brilliant at their craft. (*sorry I picked guitarists I love).

So I honestly do not see why any "Pro" would be so pissed off about a program, those who use it or weither they are the judge of all artwork created. I mean, I sort of don't care for anime but you don't see me going over to the anime gallery and bashing them! It is just a different art form to me. Some is really nice, most looks flat. But it isn't bothering me either!

But in all honesty, it was sort of a shocking revalation that people could be so vehement about any other person(s) who do art. And yes, anytime you create to express it is art.

So i stand corrected in my reaction.
Thank you for pointing out the obvious. I appreciate your input.
