"Not everybody needs other peoples art and models to use Poser wolf. As you are fond of saying "it's just part of a pipeline"
Agreed but the objective reality is that the prevailing or at least publicly vocal, majority of people who use poser as thier primary "creative tool" do use figure models made by others. Just look at the gushing praise being heaped upon the creator of the figure in the "project E" thread . while he deserves getting credit for his humanoid modeling skills it is the fact that he is making a figure for poser that has the masses excited by the prospect of that ellusive "great white hope" that will save them/poser
Indeed I get it... you are a "Create my own content" mentality type and I respect that. However you exist in an online community of user who's presumed creative objectives are completely defined by what can be done within ONE single,regressive,lumbering monstrosity of a program called "poser"
"I seriously wonder how many Poser/DS artists would be "artists" if not for pre made assets."
Depends on one's definition of "artist" I largely despise the term and refer to myself as Visual communications producer/storyteller who uses whatever tools required to achieve those objectives, undisturbed by any feral,primitive, tribalist loyalties to the corporate entities that sell such tools in the commercial marketplace.
