I agree completely, but that's my main "problem" with Poser is that you really do need to postwork 90% of what is rendered I rarely postwork my images, and I dont think they fall in the Poser trap. The problem, IMHO, is that folks dont think very far outside the box when it comes to this program. I mean, look at that image on the right: the lighting is dreadful; there's no sense of utilizing the space; the expression is completely vacuous. And this happens in 90% of what is rendered: people dont plan their images beyond the first few steps, and then they expect the program and the purchased items to do it all for them. Rarely do you see anything in the way of real expression work. Rarely do you see any work within the materials window to actually bring out highlights and shadows in a more realistic way. And sometimes even the most basic things get ignored: look at that image and explain why there aren't any shadows under her? The light is directly overhead, so where are they? See, these are the sloppy things that ruin a lot of Poser images. Yeah, yeah, I know, we're hobbyists, we're not creating serious art, blah blah blah. That doesn't excuse ignoring a few basics when working on an image. Postwork isn't gonna solve all your problems.
