Yep, its more difficult for Daz Studio users to get Poser...for sure. 

 

Quote - Artificial shaders lock you in.
Artificial shaders look artificial.

 

That makes really.... no sense to me at all.  

3D is artificial.  Everything we do is artificial. We can make things look as real as possible, we can calculate the math to get as realistic results as possible... but no matter what, all of it is only an artificial approximation of life.  A very fun, very versatile, very addictive approximation, but there it is! ;)

 

A shader is a shader is a shader.  All equally "artificial" but that's the way our art works.   And it gives us all the space we need for all the range of artistic abilities and styles-fantasy, comedy, toon, impressionistic, and so on- without being limited to only one definition. :)

Sorry for being less chatty...been having a lot of bad weather and just got power back after the typhoon.  Whew, hot tropical weather and no air conditioner.....
