Lol. It is a contest with and about vue, not poser or anything else. It would be the same as taking part in a 3ds max contest, and use Maya to do all the modeling but do the render in 3ds max. Do you realy think you would have won that contest? Vue is play and fun, that's why people use it. And that is the reason why we know how to construct both items and materials. Not because we "work" with it. Got all the "goodies" to do that :)
