Quote - Y'know.... I wonder if I could find some way of posting anonymously, because I'm likely to be lynched over this...... I believe in utility... if an app serves my purposes, I will use it... if only part of an app serves my purposes, I will use that. I see no reason not to use something that limps along at one thing, but is fantastic at something else. I have some apps that are nothing more than a means to port something from one to another, without data loss. Following the logic of people who will not use "those other" app's, I'd expect to hear, any day now, that there are no artists any more, since nobody uses rocks on walls to make pictures. If people are silly enough to believe that you should use no other app, then let them. I will happily continue to create what I envision using whatever fits the need. Lou.
Actually.......I agree with what you've said here. I seriously doubt that anyone will lynch you for indicating that all of the various 3D apps are just tools in a toolbox. But I would add that those legitimate tools include Poser among them.
I like Poser largely because it is a fantastic aid to storytelling. Poser makes it possible to whip out scenes in short order, and to get a story done -- without having to spend a man-year of your personal time to do it.
