Infinity10,

You are going to get about as far changing these attitudes as you will get debating the relative merits of DazStudio vs Poser Pro. The minds are already made up on both sides, so don't bother with the facts.

For the record, I agree with you. But for the record, I don't think it is going to change... not that it matters.

It's all about your goals.

If you want to be a CG artist, go buy the expensive tools, enroll at Full Sail, and stop using other people's content.

If you just want to have fun, stay with DS/Poser and have fun. (And there IS money to be made doing this, as well!)

My point is, don't let the snobs bother you. Do what you want to do and be happy with it!!!!!!
