None of the above mentioned films ever use 3D to depict faces of real human beings correct me if I am wrong and direct me to a trailer.

 

actualy the majority of those (live action)movies use face or full body replacement

What I'm seeing in this thread is people still clutching to the belief that cgs doesn't like poser users..I'll admit they're getting a little tired of the argument and the latest thread clearly shows that,really all they want to see is good quality images ,they want you to quit whinging about being the underdog and make some bloody art.no one cares what app your using.

good images at CGS that use Poser models do get the attention they deserve,& bad art will always get what it deserves,if you want praise just for making the image then post in the r'osity galleries,if your posting at cgs then be prepared for some critique.

as an aside, I did some concept art recently for a new Wachowski bros(the matrix guys) film and used Daz models in several images,nobody asked what I was using for the models,nobody cared what I was using..the final images are all the mattered and thats all they commented on.I regulary use daz models in my national geographic illustrations and also used m4 & the daz kids in an image only last week for new yorks natural history museum..once again no one asked or cared what I was using for the figure models.

 

hope you guys can stop looking at cgs as being filled with mean spirited Poser haters..that certainly isn't what I'm seeing there.

I wouldn't count that as a Poser image, because Poser's not the main tool here, it's just used as a reference like a photo or manikin, and the real - artistic, if you will - work is done in 2D. In fact - wasn't that was Poser was intended in the first place? :)

 

I agree,I should add I think the image is horrible,(his later stuff is very cool though)..it's actualy a good example of where the Poser model has failed and real human ref would have worked much better,in using a pose like that he's recreating all the mistakes of the 3d mesh.you really need a good knowledge of anatomy to paint over a posed figure like that
