Has anyone ever wondered where they came up with the name for the graphics program we all use? This from www.dictionary.com: poser (noun) a person who habitually pretends to be something he is not [syn: poseur] poser (noun) A wannabee... putting down those who "talk the talk but don't walk the walk". So, is "Poser" simply a program that's "pretending" to be a 3-D modelling application? From my experience with Poser 5, I can say for sure that it doesn't "walk the walk" (at least not when compared to the rendering engines of other 3-D software). Is that what Ghost Effects had in mind when they first created the program? Did they even research the negative connotations of the word?
