i've been having an ongoing discussion with another 3d artist about this subject...so i'll throw it to the crowd and see what comes back. is it wrong to use third party software, such as Poser, to create human figures to add to 'original' animations in 3D studio? now...i don't mean wrong in the illegal sense...but there is a certain purism running through the 3d world...does this violate that? one side of the argument is that studios do it all the time, buying premade models for animations. the other side is that it is all original...all yours, if you make all the models yourself. so...what's the verdict?
