    Furthermore, I keep hearing about these 'elites' but I've never seen or read any of them post in the forums or galleries regarding any DAZ Studio users not being real artists because we use DAZ. These 'elites' could be total fictions or more likely, if they do exist, they are the Joanna & Eddie to our Safie and Grandma.

    One thing for sure if I'm not going to seek out and verify the existance of these 'elites' so they can give me their opinion because I've haven't a clue as to what makes them elite or why they are being called elite or even who they are. Do you?

    You haven't been paying attention to some of the comments made in some of these forum discussions then, or we have a differing opinion of what "an elitist" is, because quite often people will say things like "Daz isn't a tool for 'professional work', " or " no professional would use Daz for serious work" and then proceed to list what $1000+ programs they use on a regular basis.  They continally equate ease of use with amateur, and their contempt for consumer software or products in any genre is evident with the dismissive manner in which they talk about it, or the people who use it.

    Mind you this doesn't necessarily make them anything other than elite in their own minds, and mostly these are people who eek out a living doing work in some field, and haven't quite made it to the upper echelons themselves, but they are sometimes in the orbit of those that are [as an example, I direct you to the profession of photography which is overflowing with such individuals].  True professionals seldom if ever are dismmissive of "anyone" who is in the process of learning and actually creating something and tend to be very supportive, or at least this has been my experience among truly talented, skilled people.

    No, I saw comments to that effect in this thread and other threads in the DAZ forums and such chest beating is common in other forums too but as I said in this thread, that is typical of behaviour by a few in any forum i've even visited.

    I have yet to be spoken to so dismissively or had DAZ Studio spoken about dismissively by actual profressionals I've contacted personally and offered to pay them to create models, whether in Maya or in DAZ Studio.

    It's that same old M$ Bill Gates vs Apple Steve Jobs forum stuff that went on for how long? 1993 - 2012? Was never on a bulletin board, maybe it started in 1982. I just ignore those opinions as bored workers in search of something exciting to do. LOL, give me 10 click renders anyday compared to a debate about which is better, DAZ Studio or Maya. It's like comparing an apple tree to an apple pie. It doesn't even make sense.
