I don't get why we can't make excellent renders without having to resort to a lot of post-work. Art is about expression. We should be able to convey meaning in CGI just as we do with pencil, paint, a camera, a chisel or in constructing a beautiful bridge or building. It's the mind that matters.

Having written this, I realize that a lot of people dismiss 3D art in general and Poser in particular, as if the latter is some kind of inferior medium. But I put a lot of thought into the posing, framing, lighting and overall composition. Some folk notice. Others don't. But I'm not looking to make money on my 3D art. I do this because I enjoy it, and as long as I'm improving, what others think matters very little.

I use Poser for illustrating my stories and making book covers. Nobody complains that my covers "look like Poser art," whatever THAT means . . .
