Poser currently reminds me of the MIDI music revolution of the early 80's. Certain skill barriers were removed between imagination and production. If you could think it, you could create it. And I would submit that people like Vangelis were thinking better than most, in their little rooms full of synthesizers. Today, almost all recorded music incorporates MIDI to some degree. That does not make it somehow "less" than a 100% analog instrumental. We've all seen wonderful musicians who couldn't write a listenable song if their lives depended on it. I'll take a creative imagination over a trained and steady hand, any day. Music is music, no matter how it is generated. As far as I'm concerned, with visual art, if it looks good, it looks good. Period.
