Quote - What??  Toy Story???  If you do cg for a living then by all mean use Toy Story as a yard stick for your own work if it makes you feel good.  But for a hobbyist that's a patently ridiculous notion.

Uhm.  I don't think you got my point.  I'm not suggesting Poser users make the next Toy Story.  I just meant why not try to make the visuals as interesting and good as the story, if that's the intent of your using Poser?  Why use visuals at all, if it's not there to "enhance" the story experience?  Bad visuals would only serve to ruin a good story potentially.

You can have fun and make good CG in the process.  That's a "patently ridiculous notion" in itself, to suggest the two must be separate.

Judging by how people here jump down your gullet when you disagree with them, it's no surprise Poser gets a bad rap in the CG community.  You can push out dozens of bad images for fun, but once you post them online, expect someone to call you out on it.  Don't be surprised to get negative feedback and critique if you spend literally 5 minutes creating an image, and then turn around and call those people "snobs".  That's all I'm saying.  If you put nex to no effort into making an image, then post it up in public forums, you must expect someone is going to bash it.  It's clear that at least some of the percieved snobbery is actually brutal honesty, taken poorly by people who weren't expecting it, because their friends and family think what they do is great.
