Before in this thread it has been emphasized how skill in one area not necessary transfer to another. I know (or should I say I have been told) that bagginsbill is expert is his special sort of field. But to hear him pontificate over what is art or not is rather comical, because of Taste and Style he knows nothing. I happen to know how pictures like the first one, which bagginsbill approve of is created. You have a high resolution photo. You model the Poser figure in the same pose and then project the photo in Bodypaint and fine tune with Ray brush. Render with vray. Anyone can do it who know the procedure. The other picture or the other hand, demand real skills in sculpting, painting and high-end modeling and above all demand an artistic talent, opposite to the first picture that is a mere photograph.
