True... my wording was a lil... pissy. I can't help it. There's so much more that you can do with Poser than just a naked man or woman. I've done only two pics with a woman in lingerie. That's been it. The rest have been mainly facial studies as I am trying to work my way into Maya and get myself taught there so that I may be able to create worlds and the like. The main is issue, as stated by geep and several others is yes, I look at more non-nude pictures and comment on them, but why can't people work on originality? What is so hard about breaking yourself away from a naked model and concentrating on creating something like a Facial Study, or true figure studies, and the like. Yes clothing is hard to come by, and even harder to pose and the like, but that's what makes it a challenge. That's what makes it real art, the ability to creat an image from adversity and imporbabilities. I applaud artists such as Blackhearted who has done work with more than just a naked model, some of his work is just breath taking. Same with Stormi, Dalinise, Debbie M, Catharina Przezak(hope I spelled that right). I've only had poser since August of this year, as it was a late birthday gift from a friend of mine, but I've learned sooo much in that time. At first I was thrilled, oooh naked models! WOOO! Then I began thinking, maybe I can use this to get a visual on some of the characters in my stories, and what not. That is when I bought Vicki and Mike, went nuts getting textures and the like, and even tweaking the ones I bought to suit my needs. If the average poser user would learn the software, then you'd see less nudes, and more complex images. I am currently working on my 4th Face Study using StefyZZ's Asia, as she is truly a texture guru. I'll also be doing some with Michael as well. Maybe what we need to do here at Renderosity is put a section up that is totally dedicated to nothing but the naked human form, and allow people to post there. I dunno, maybe I'm just off my rocker.
