Any one who uses Poser on this site understands why I'm posting this. Every few months or so there seems to be a rash of "real" 3d modelers who feel it's their right to belittle those in this community who use Poser. If you don't know what Poser is, let me give you the quick and simple on it:

Poser and Daz Studio is a program that utilizes pre made models that a person can modify, fairly easily, using brought or made textures, morphs etc. Some Poser folks after their image is rendered will jazz it up in paintshop or choose to render in another app to make their image better.

Now what bothers most of the "real" 3d modlers is that a lot of Poser "artist" like to make images of nude or scantily clad big breasted woman (before you look I'm guilty of that) and these image tend to recieve a lot of views, vice the guy who's labored for weeks and recieves little view, comments and faves. The relative ease it takes someone in Poser to create one of these big busted scantily clad women (BBSCW) along with time and effort seems to frustrate the "real" 3d modlers because their works aren't getting the attention they feel they deserve and they have to share "their" gallery, 3D, with Poser people and the BBSCWs.

I've wondered why DA hasn't yet split the 3D realm up so the "real" modelers can post and create a seperate catergory within 3d that states "Poser/DazStudio". Yet I understand why they don't because there are ton's of Poser folks who make some works that can be truly called art and have passed on going the BBSCW route. There are also those who do the BBSCW stuff and you can see the effort into their work.

Does the BBSCW get more attention? Yes it does, sex sells. That's a part of life but in the end it's the quality of work that one produces that has many watching them.

Am I digressing? Yes and no. Is Poser 3D, what's your opinion? Should it be given it's own sub catergory? I know this will cause a lot of hate and discontent from both sides so let me address some of the hate now:

"Real" 3D modelers : I'm not saying that the lot of you are crying, whining and throwing rocks at the Poser folk, but the number of anti Poser post seems to have increased of late and a majority of it comes from those who believe they are the elite and shouldn't have to share their gallery with the mere Poser folk. A few bad apples are being quite loud and those are the ones I speak of.

Poser folk : Some of you may feel like I've over simplified Poser in my explanation of it. I apologize if you feel that way, I was just trying to make it easier to understand. For those of you who post the Big Busted types...before you think I'm calling you non talented hacks...remember I did state that I do those too.
