When Poser couldn't come within a country mile of realism, people probably concentrated on other aspects of their art. Now many seem hot to cross the Uncanny Valley. The Little Mermaid doesn't look real though, neither did Bambi or Shrek or the Monsters Unc. crew. We won't even get into Picasso's women. If your artistic ambition goes beyond having people say; "Gee, that looks like a photo," there are other aspects of making a character that really engages people.
