Quote - Actually it's interesting how heated any discussion about virtual digital people can get.
I posted this, not to provoke (honestly!) but to perhaps to encourage someone to actually TRY one of the much-despised (at least in some circles) Native Poser Figures. And at least that bit of the mission succeeded ;)
Basically, what it boils down to is that more figures adds to the diversity. And MAY, in the right hands, add to Poser breaking out of that "same old, same old" loop it sometimes feels like it's stuck in. Don't get me wrong - I HAVE done my NWIATWAS - it's almost mandatory. But if we, as Poser users, want to ... hmm.. show "The World" that Poser is more than a tool for adolescent fantasies... boobs and booties... well.. it means... for one thing.. actually trying your hand with a boob-less figure. A so-called MALE figure ;) And there's actually quite a few of them that looks pretty nice.
And now.. let the fight discussion continue :D
I don't use the Poser figures because they are not well supported and I am most assuredly not "the right hands" to make them look the way I want. So I use what I can, which is, regrettably, the Daz figures.
I also mostly render males.
I don't think of myself as someone who is particularly interested in NVIATs or in adolescent fantasies, though I have done my share of "adult" images. However, the males in those images feature just as prominently, so it's not all boobs. Might be quite a few booties, though. Thanks to Xameva and Meipe, M4's rear end is quite respectably attractive these days. Unfortunately, there's nothing similar for the Poser figures that I know of.
Well, Tyler has a great body and bends really quite well also. But my usage of him, as usual, comes down to lack of support.... Sometimes, even in my erotic renderings, I like to have figures that aren't stark naked or aren't always using the same body/head texture.
