Bullshit. It's perfectly normal to achieve greater things based on the work of others. The point is that the result is more than just the sum of the parts you've brought in from the outside.

All of this is interesting...
Yes you have pulled back the curtain on the wizards secrets and exposed the methods for how this is done.
But in defence, if this was all done from scratch then this story would be still on PD01.
Before you judge, down load the software.. then the characters, then the hair and clothes.. and finally the mansion environment.. Then start rendering.. see how the nuances of the software produce very different results.. There is time.. Dedication and learning involved in achieving the level of render quality you all enjoy.. This is not just throwing characters and clothing into an environment such as you do in the sims..
On a side note:
I wonder if the same arguments will be made when AI becomes the standard??.. There is no originality with AI at all.. Everything a large language model does is based on what a human has already done.... Be careful for what you wish for... and I would suggest take the time to understand the process before critiquing the product. Just my 2 cents..

If imitation is art, China is a country of artists.
Yup! Anyone can buy the same ingredients for a dish, it's just some can cook better than others!

You have no idea what the point is.
I mean, he cheated like an artist who feels the pain of creation.
He was able to hire people who knew how to use Daz, and he had no problem hiring them.
He has nothing but paint.

Copy = the exact reproduction of an original.
Copy = to convert verbal information into text . As in the much-abused, I Copy or, as ignorant people would say I Copy That.

Point = the top of some people's head.
especially on those who do not allow a different point of view.

I can't speak English well enough to understand you're.
I just wanted to point out that the reason I used the word "copied" in my post was to include both "copied and bought".
I know I don't mean it lexically.

No... your missing the point (again).. this is not imitation.. its use of media.. Skill in use of Rendering software is similar to skills in photography. In the hands of a novice you could give a 5D SLR camera, a world class model.. and a Caribbean sunset.. but is the result a guaranteed world class photograph.. I think not.. Your iPhone or your Galaxy can take a decent photo.. but its not going to get you a job at Vogue or National Geographic...

You are pun intended.
Same Daz user means same camera.
Top-class photographers do not compete with quality, but with composition.
Top-class photographers tell a story in one photo.
Even if I admit what you said, all LP did was shoot with expensive equipment, and that can be solved by lending an employee the same equipment.
All he did was put the hairstyle he bought on the face model he bought.
I'll try and simplify it for you.
Two identical cars, two different drivers, one is better than the other.
It's not the car but the driver's skills.

Its all good.. was only trying to explain the skill and process.. Not enter into a debate or argument.. Your mind is already made up so the discussion is a moot point.. Not really sure how you are gong to learn anything if your not willing to listen.. To clarify.. I'm not defending L&P.. I'm only defending the process I also use for my own content.

The reason I said you were punning is that rendering is different from a photographer's job and different from driving skills.
Rendering is not a realm of art, but a realm of labor.
Offline work produces different results with the same equipment and the same skills, but it is not a computer.
If you work with the same model and the same program, you will get the same result.
