I've seen a similar use of the P4 folks on a magazine cover.

Hey I'm in Louisville too! I missed that pic because I dropped my subscription, now I just check it out online every day.

That's because they need to go up river for their renders. Or at least to Wilder, Ky to find me. I've seen poser popping up in National Geographic too... not to mention Maxim. Doug
I came, I rendered, I'm still broke.

Has anyone else seen the national "milk" ad with the chinese circius charachters? I'd swear that was poser, too!

HaHa, There's also a car dealership commercial out here in Phoenix, AZ that uses the P4dork that doesn't look too good.

It's also appearing on the cover of the Media section of today's Grauniad

Well, we'll just have to show these people where they should be going for the real talent, won't we?

yeah!!! er, micheleh... how are we gonna do that? maybe we can put together a feature for a computer graphics magazine. i dunno, like, 'we're real poser artists and we're not gonna take it any more!' or something.

Well... the idea I just proposed in the mod forum was to have the option of titleing your "artist" page as a "portfolio" page, and including what sorts of work you do, and relevant contact information. I think that would help, insofar that potential clients surfing here will be led directly to people who are serious about promoting their skills. What do you think?

Oh, and as far as the "feature" article, well... I do work on the Rosity mag... we may want to talk about this. 8]

er... no offense to you or the rendo mag, but i meant magazines that people besides us know about. i mean, WE know we're good, but... nobody else has ever heard of us, ya know? the portfolio and resume sorta deal is a good idea.

"no offense to you or the rendo mag, but i meant magazines that people besides us know about. i mean, WE know we're good, but... nobody else has ever heard of us, ya know?" All I can say at this point is that, very soon, just about everyone will know about our mag. ;] As far as the resume page, it wouldn't hurt for people to start updating their artist pages, and making sure that the important information is there. Be sure all the contact info is there, a brief summary of your education and experiences, your best pieces as samples, etc. That will make less work later.
