I think you should remove the word "foolish" in your post. Nobody is arguing that postwork is bad, so why defend yourself ? The only argument was that some people like it plain, others dont. It is also not about showcasing an app. Its about how close you can come to what you have imagined in a 3D environment alone, thats all. I work in 3ds, Maya and also Poser. I like Poser because its simpler to use, although the renderer is not so good and it took me almost a year to get something decent out of Firefly. Just recently when I was going through my notes, I realized that I was closer to what I wanted at the beginning - the way I was exploring was the wrong one. I think its an art by itself understanding and using a lightset and its simulated physics. If you want to do this with Photoshop you can do it for me this is no challenge.Period. PS: My stuff is printed because I dont make post.
