Precisely. Now I'm not saying a really good 3DS artist doesn't put a lot of effort
into a really good image, nor am I saying that POV invariably makes better
pictures. What I'm saying is that some people pirate the fancy software and have
the computer make half a scene for them, then claim they have some kind of special
talent that most POVers lack.
