...though it is rare to find an artful nude image in the Poser gallery (my own pitiful submissions included if you like.) If you want poser porn, a great place to find some pretty high-octane stuff would be renderotica.com... you can find some pretty intense and masterful art in there. But, like here, there, and elsewhere, you will find a high percentage of crap in proportion to the percentage of kick-butt stuff that makes you rush to save the image on your hard drive so you will never lose it. The best artwork, and sites that carry the highest quality on a consistent basis are sites that most of us would be laughed out of or politely rejected. Places like Digital Blasphemy come to mind quite readily, as does flay.com and esp. the higher-end architectural CG show-off sites. These are places that either have a single person filtering through the whole thing with a highly critical eye, or a peer review process that I suspect would damage most of our egoes beyond repair should we fail to make the grade. To be perfectly honest, I wouldn;t dream of submitting anything I've done to these sites, simply because every time I go there, I see things that make me fall back in awe... things that people have taken weeks, sometimes months, to execute and post. If the subject matter offends my sensibilities, I simply pity the artist and move on. If it's crap, I won;t say anything and move on. IF it rocks, I'll go out of my way to tell the artist exactly why it rocks (err, "nice tits" doesn't qualify, though :) ) /P
