Quote - I was kinda told, in another material room rant, that presets (I'm all for 'em) are tantamount to cheating, even tho just about every 3D program I use has em ;)

 

If someone tells me that, I'm getting more of the impression that this person just doesn't want to share what he has or she has to offer.... or he or she wants to make you feel inferior, so they can feel superior. I like playing with the material room, but there are times I rather use a preset..... when I'm in a hurry or when I just can't get the result I'm after.

 

Going even one step further, how can anyone using Poser even say that using material rooms presets is cheating? Isn't the whole precept of Poser about using presets? You get a figure (preset), you add clothes (presets), you add a pose (preset), add lights (preset) and so on and so on. To say that using material rooms presets for Poser is a huge contradiction and goes against all the Poser in essence is...... especially when using preset after preset in all other occasions. You may as well say stop using poser and learn to model everything yourself.... since all you is cheating.

 

I'm glad though that there are people who like to share their presets, either free or as a vendor..... it's a great blessing to those of us who use Poser! So, I'm hoping as others that the next version of Poser will pay attention to the material room presets and adds lots of them! Let's hope they add more ways and features to cheat, so we can create great images :-)
