I don't think the idea was to eliminate software-specific galleries....not really. You could still designate your graphic as Poser or Bryce or Vue or whatever. It's all just a sorting mechanisim. But if I happen to like to view Poser graphics that have been postworked...how do I sort them out from the people who don't do any postwork? I think postwork is artistic. Other people think it is cheating. How to you sort so that both groups will be happy? Can you sort so both groups will be happy? If you put the postworked Poser graphics in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro or another 2D gallery, then those folks complain because they only want art that originates from Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro or their 2D software of choice, and they don't like Poser intruding on their artwork. So it appears that very little in the way of negotiation is possible since everyone wants something different. Or so it appears. I guess that's human nature. This is a database of graphics, when it comes down to it. So all we are doing is shuffling and reshuffling the database. Nothing is fixed to a wall. These are just suggestions so that people have different ways of viewing depending on their preferences. Fortunately I'm not in a decision making position and thank goodness I don't have to make anyone except my Lhasa Apso and two cats happy. And they are.
