A recent forum containd a rather sniffy remark about the superior status of those who construct Poser objects from scratch as compared to those of us who merely use those products to produce Poser renders, sometimes doing it well enough to be called "art".

I greatly respect those who can invest their time, training and talent in creating the objects and characters that the rest of us can download to use in our own creations, but fail to see that one aspect is superior to the other.

True, without their creations the rest of us would be using crayons and butcher paper. But as far as I can find out, Bach wasn't required to build organs before he could compose his music, nor Mozart pianos.

Rembrandt, I grant you, ground his own pigments but I doubt that he had to weave his own canvas.

At any rate, my contention is that the creators of Poser objects and those who use them to create artworks should equally be considered "creators" - neither superior to the other.
