"Third party painters" ... heh heh. Ever study 17th century European painting? (Or for that matter, how Warhol's Factory worked?) Some of the attributions indicate "third party," indeed. "School of Raphael," "After Caravaggio," "Associate of Rubens." A student's work was frequently attributed to his master's name. In merely the past twenty years, several paintings formerly attributed to Rembrandt have been determined to be the work of someone close to him. Not that anything short of modern forensics would indicate otherwise... This Poser art argument will never be fully won by anyone except the people who strive to improve their skills and to personalize their work as much as possible at every level. Even using nothing but pre-bought models, textures, and props, you can still do your own lighting, posing, mise-en-scene, etc. IMO the art is in the effort and inspiration, not whether or not you had a hand in coding the rendering engine. Please. On the other hand, I really, really respect painters who make their own pigments. :-) Many thanks, SnowSultan! The partial poses will be a very useful addition to the painter's palette.
