Quote - From what I read, it all depends on what the project is and what the expectations are of the artist. If you're on a deadline and need to crank out something that looks good for a client who doesn't have a huge budget, why not? I hope that perhaps they clarify the terms of specific galleries to stipulate: must be modelled, shadered and rendered by artist.

This is so true. I was just struck by the fact that after all the hoopla about using pre-made, already textured models, is what is that line that seperates true CG artists form poser artists. And the discussion that entailed, how ironic it was to get this ad.

Hey (*where are you?) ;) been a while.

To Ecstacy, stop this nattering I was making only an observation. Nothing more.

To Firecat: No not at all, this tied in to another discussion. It just occurred after the other thread closed due to people who were nattering on and caused a lot of negative stuff that was OT.

V01f: I agree I was surprised at the cost. But must say that the ad did a nifty job of proving a point that was made about poser vs "real" cg.

OK, I only posted it to show that it seems that we poser people are not the only ones to use the pre-made, buy it complete, models that we do. And I think in many ways some of ours are sometimes much more realistic.

OK, I have PP2012 to install today (*just came by ups!) so I am off to play.

HugZ!
