the funny thing is its books by "educated" people like this mortier fellow that give poser sucha bad reputation amoung those "not in the know" If you were an accomplished artist and were thinking about getting poser as an aid, and looked at one of this guys books, would you want to get it? Its the same thing withmost magazines. Read tutorials from most major 3d or software magazines on poser (renderosity excluded , of course) and you can tell they are all written by people who dont know anything.
