Nice to see this discussion remaining civil! I'm another one who chooses not to do post work on pictures that I post in the Vue Gallery, for two reasons- I'm still relatively new to the whole 3D art scene, and Vue in particular, and I want to see what I can achieve with the program itself;
secondly, I don't think that I am very good at it! (Deluxe Paint 4 on the Amiga was my limit - whoops, showing my age - LOL!)

I don't have a problem with postworked images in the Vue gallery or anywhere else for that matter, but I guess I think of them more as artwork pieces, representative of the artist's talent rather than examples of what can be achieved with Vue d'Esprit. That probably stems from the fact that I dont really think of myself as an artist per se, more like a scene arranger with a good imagination. A craftsman, or artisan, if you will. That not to denigrate all the artists here in anyway, just how I see what I do. No doubt, when the software no longer does everything that I want it to do, I'll be postworking up there with the best of them!!
Just my two cents ;o)
