By coincidence I came to this thread just after looking through the gallery and while there were one or two images that might have sat happier in the Poser gallery, I think that "at least half", is a slight exageration.
Its a problem I had when I started, but then I didnt post in the gallery until I was satisfied that I wouldnt be embarrasing myelf too much and by that time I was using Bryce for my renders. I first started 3D with Poser. I found it an extremely difficult program to use in the construction of a complete picture. I still do but it is a great repository for models, much more so than Bryce. so I looked into Bryce and grabbed it with both hands. Fortunately I found I hadnt wasted the money spent on Poser, because, if you want figures, especially realistic human figures in your renders then Poser seems to be the way to go. And I feel it is the presence of a human figure that makes these Poser renders "look good". We react to these figures more than still lifes or landscapes. Its human nature. I have now reached the stage where I can model a simple room in Bryce, nothing more, but feel a great satisfaction in doing so. I still struggle with modelling with lattices, but that will come. The challenges for June in both forums showed up what I feel is the restriction imposed by Poser alone. The theme was identical but the Bryce response was much broader in concept. (If you want to see what I am capable of, go look at my Poser entry. Someone actually gave it a point. Amazing!) I now have no problem with posting my images in the Bryce gallery. The figures may be Poser as are most of the props, but its a Bryce image.
I have an awful feeling I may be rambling a little but its my birthday and Ive started on the cans early.
