Couldn't there just be a "Pure" category. I mean, you are allready sorting pictures by the app used, so a "pure" category could be used for both pure Poser, pure Bryce, pure Vue and so on images without them necessarily being mixed among each other. Just sort on BOTH Software AND genre, and you would get pure images from whatever app you chose :o)==============>that makes a lot of sense, ernyoka1. I have to admit, the reason this seemed less important to me is that I only render in Poser, having nothing else to render in, so the purity aspect didn't strike me as particularly unusual (personal bias enters into these things), but it clearly is important to part of the community. People may prefer to categorize on purity of software use rather than a general theme when it that is an important issue to them.

Frankly, I'm having a terrible time with the genres. A lot of my graphics are Scenes...little dramatic pieces. Not still lifes. Not landscapes. Not figures studies. What genre is there for that???

jgeorge has a point too...the models he describes don't fit in the existing categories.

I still see this as an ongoing process. They had to start somewhere. Now that the start has been made, refinements can be made. The administrators might want to take a look and see what subject headings aren't being used and reevaluate their need or if the naming is causing a confusion (What is household?? What is environment? What is macro? Should we have landscape?) A list of definitions of some of these areas might help. Or not. Since we are assigning ourselves to the genres, it's always going to be hit or miss in consistency.

But I'm saving the rest of my sorting for the weekend when my headache goes away.

Lots to think about. I'm glad I'm not in charge of sorting all this out.
