So if you've spent any amount of time on y!gallery, you'll notice that there is a small but very loud and obnoxious contingent of ignorant little snobs who look down their noses at all 3D art and go "pft, that shouldn't even share the same Internet with my crappy Naruto fanart."

They claim no actual work, effort, or artistic ability goes into producing a piece of 3D art. They claim it's just "moving figures around." And yet none of them seem to be up to downloading Blender and DAZStudio for free and attempting to duplicate any given piece when challenged to do so.

They snark about the use of commercial figures, clothing, and props, but go strangely silent or backpedal like the hypocrites they are when called on their own use of Photoshop brushes/patterns/layer styles they didn't create, fonts they didn't create, commercial screentones they didn't create, and clipart and stock photos they didn't create.

They go out of their way to enter every even remotely-Poser-related discussion and spew their ignorant bullshit all over every available surface.

Which is why I am now here and no longer there. Butthurt much?

Hell yes I'm butthurt, because as much as they piss me off, I can see where they get this shit from.

They get it from you.

Yes, you.

You, over there. With your finger hovering over the mouse button, whose pointer is hovering over the "render" button of a scene containing a cock longer than its owner's entire body, a stupid facial expression, shitty lighting, no goddamn scenery, and the P4 Dork. You over there, who thinks the object of 3D art is to see who can be the most macho about doing everything in 3D apps; you who believes postwork is somehow cheating. You over there, the opposite to this guy, who Photoshop-filters the bajeezus out of your renders and tries to pass them off as "drawings." You whose blood runs cold when it becomes necessary to actually create a pose or a light setup or, God forbid, HAIR yourself because the commercially-available ones aren't quite right for your project.

You, on the verge of sending yet another piece of ammunition into the world for the above ignorant twats to wave at Snover as yet more evidence supporting their opinion that 3D art on y! needs to go the way of the furries.

Yes, you.

If you post Poser porn on y! and I didn't have you watched, there's about a 99% chance I am talking to you. In fact, some of you I did watch were pushing it.

Do you want to stop being part of the problem and start being part of the solution? Then take a look below and learn what NOT to do. Otherwise, please put the software down, back away slowly, and never touch it again.

Note: porn is like the Matrix. Some rules can be bent and others can be broken--if you know what the hell you're doing. All of this is just my opinion. Your mileage may vary.
