I went on an interview for the company that does the special effects for Blue Man Group concert videos.  They had alot of greenscreen footage and they were looking for a compositor and rotoscoper.  I was asked to bring in a reel of my greenscreen work.  The interview was going ok, I'd say not good or bad.  At the end of it they said they were looking forward to see my reel and I told them I also added a couple of 3D shots it in at the end (i figured it couldn't hurt to showcase a few other cool things I thought I did).  One of the guys asked me "what program did you use for it" and I told Him Poser and he laughed out loud and said in a real snobby way " well, we use Maya around here".   His partner held in his laugh but it was obvious he felt the same way.

I started getting into 3D about 6 months  ago with Poser and I feel like i've learned so much and really improved myself as a filmmakerand artist.  I'm sorry I'm not ready ready for a program like Maya but I bet if I told  *him I did it Lightwave or another program he would have believed it after seeing it.  Cant they cut us some slack?  Base your opinion on how it looks not what program was used to make it  *
