One of the worst arguments I’ve seen is when one of these elitists says something like “I know plenty of professionals and none of them use Poser”, as if to say, “Since I personally don’t know any ‘professionals’ who use Poser, then no professionals in the entire world use Poser.” Is it fair to say that every cell-phone camera is bad simply because some photos aren’t very good? With so many people taking pictures with their cell-phones, can these photos be considered “art”? Probably not, but maybe some are. As we speak, more and more people have cameras available to them, usually on their cell-phones. Like anything in life, some people will have the talent to make good images, while some people won’t.Īs an aside, I think Poser images can be compared to photography. While I will agree that a lot of Poser-created images are amateur in nature, you have to look at the “big picture”: since Poser is inexpensive, fairly easy to use, and doesn’t require a super-computer, it’s only natural that a wide variety of people would use the software.
POSER VS POSER PRO SOFTWARE
Many elitists also claim that Poser images show a distinct “amateur-ness”, which obviously means that the software itself is amateurish. Do they really mean that if I use an “unprofessional” software program, I can no longer call myself a “professional”? How’s that for circular logic? These elitists claim (usually with specious logic) that “professionals” don’t use Poser simply because it’s “unprofessional”. For this discussion, I’ll be calling these “professionals” by the more-correct term of “elitists”, which will mean “people who look down on something for their own personal reasons”. These people tend to look down on the use of Poser simply because they don’t use it, don’t understand it, or more-often-than-not, because they just don’t like it. However, many people seem to think that Poser is “unprofessional” because of its low price, its low learning curve, and the “amateur-ness” of many images made by beginners. The learning curve for Poser is a lot less steep than that of more complex graphics programs. Poser’s low price (normally in the $250 range) and included content (models, clothing, poses, etc) allow almost anyone to quickly make digital images immediately after purchasing and installing the software. Why do elitists look down on the use of Poser?Īs an introduction, Poser is a “3D Character and Scene Design” graphics software program created by Ghost Effects, then sold to and upgraded by MetaCreations, then sold to and upgraded by e-frontier, and then sold to and upgraded by Smith Micro (link opens in new window).
