I use Poser a lot in conjuction with Vue. As a matter of fact, that is one of the big plusses of Vue...that it works so well with Poser imports. And E-on advertises the fact and sells a lot of copies of their products because of it.
"I think when something is 80% Poser (just guessing a percentage), it should be in the Poser gallery." 80% Poser what? Poser meshes? Poser renders composited with Vue? Poser figures only? And why a particular threshold? Why 80%? Why not 10% or 30%?
"Just because an image is rendered in Vue shouldn't be the reason to post it in the Vue gallery in my opinion, that would be just ridiculous." So setting up the scene in Vue, with plants, objects, terrains, textures, atmosphere and lighting doesn't count?
"If I go to the Vue gallery, then I want to see Vue related images." Vue-related images are what are in the Vue gallery. If you're not interested in images with Poser meshes in them, you can usually tell by the thumbnail, so don't click on the thumbnail. If you want only landscapes, or other genres, you can sort the gallery by genre.
"Of course there will be some Poser related stuff or something related to a different piece of software, but somewhere you need to draw the line." Um...why? Why does agiel need to draw the line? If the site owners don't have an issue with the way the galleries are run here why should anyone else? If the images are within the Renderosity TOS (Terms of Service), why does anyone "need to draw the line"?
While I use Poser objects (both figures and other meshes) in my Vue images, I do scene setup, terrains, texturing, lighting, atmosphere, and rendering in Vue. Whether I'm using one Poser mesh or 10. To me, this means it is a Vue image and I will post it in the Vue gallery. The occasional image I render in Poser goes...guess where? The Poser gallery. Same with Bryce/Terragen/Mojoworld. I also do a lot of texture tweaking in PhotoShop or PSP before applying the texture to the objects in Vue...should I post an image where I do that in Photoshop/PSP/mixed medium gallery? If you're going to insist on strictly stipulating what percentage of what types of mesh can be in a Vue image, what about the inherent limitations of modeling objects in Vue? While I understand what you are trying to say, SpringBirdy, I have to disagree with you.
