Why bother with a discussion about what's art and what's not? That's as old as the great masters - debates about whether a new school of art can be considered real 'art' or not. And how madly 'creative' people are when fooling about with Poser, who cares about that either. The main thing is, have fun with it. If you enjoy it as an outlet for creativity, or make money out of it.... fine. Whatever suits you. Or all 3 of course. And what irritates me a LOT more than artiness or level of own creation as opposed to bought, is the level of quality of the finished renders - unfinished poses, crappy lighting, no postwork, no thinking at all. Ugly angles, default figures, corny & kitsch themes, you name it. In other words, the level of CRAFTSMANSHIP in renders that people want us to look at. If it's shoddy, work on it some more first. And some very expereinced and established people here are guilty of this shoddiness too, not only newbies. Jeez, even people selling and promoting! But hey, what me worry.... I'm just havin' fun. :] FishNose
