I would like to have some of your opinions. I m not critisizing anybody but I m following 1 years the evolution of poser and I m really disapointed in some points. I think Poser users (me as well) are not really 3D artist. Having a character like Victoria or Michael and buying clothes, hair, lights set, poses and then put it together in a scene and press a render is not something that we can be proud. I have seen many pictures in the Gallery and even my pictures with many comments and ranking. But why since most of the pictures are not from our own work, everything have been bought or found in the free stuff. Is it really that a 3D artist? Another thing that I was asking myself is why the Poser Market is so huge compared with other 3D softwares. The answer is sometimes so obvious, only poser user can buy because most of them have no idea on how to create a character or a prop. Again it s just what I m thinking, I don t want to judge anybody, I m not an anti poser guy but we have to be aware that when sometimes poeple are criticizing us they are not totaly wrong because the real 3D art is really hard to achieve in softwares such as Maya, 3D studio max, lightwave.... Why am I saying all that? It s because I have heard and read from poser users that poser software is the best and can do things that other softwares cannot do. But that s totaly wrong because without the 3D developer softwares that allows to make props or characters poser would not have achieved this reputation because most of the poser user do not really know the 3D art.
