I only wish it were that easy! I mean, what you said Gebe, about "...simply take a Poser figure, import it into Vue, render that and post it.." I am not very good at this stuff, so I spend hours trying to put a scene together. In fact, I go to Vue first, and try to construct and light the scene the way I see it in my head. (It never matches, but that's another story) In fact, I've been working on a scene for 2 days now, that I'm still not happy with, since it has to do with volumetric clouds that despite the tutorials I can't seem to get the way I want. Yes, there will be Poser figures in it, in fact quite a few, but I worry and work over a picture until it's the best I feel I can do. I have belonged here a couple of years, but was never brave enough to post any renders until this last year, and that in the Beginner Gallery. I've spent a lot of time since I joined looking at other people's work in the galleries, seeing how they put things together, light their renders, etc. And not just in Poser and Vue galleries. Your point is taken that there's more to Vue or any program than sticking an object in it (whether a figure or something else) and clicking on "render"....that's for certain. I personally find that kind of boring to do, and it never works for me anyway....none of this is easy! As far as postwork, if you feel you need or want to use it, I've got no problem with that. I use it as well, but try to be sparing at it. If you don't, and you're skilled enough to get exactly what you want straight out of a render engine, that's cool too.
