When browsing the Poser gallery, I notice that almost all images are postworked. Sometimes to the point that the contribution of Poser is hardly visible anymore. Few images are (almost) untouched. But don't underestimate the power of the simple (p4/pp) or not so simple (p5) render engine of Poser! It is possible to get brilliant results straight out of the renderer. And this is the moment to show it. Yesterday was my birthday, and like some other community members, I'd like to celebrate it by holding a contest. Not based on a theme, this time, but based on technique. Join the SVDL Pure Poser Contest and show us what you can do without postwork.

The rules are simple: any subject is allowed, as long as it stays within the TOS guidelines. But NO POSTWORK. Resizing or cropping the final render is OK, but color adjustments are not - adjust the lights and colors in Poser and rerender!

Since the capabilities of the Poser 5 Firefly renderer are vastly superior to those of the simple P4/PP scanline renderer, there are two categories in the contest, each with their own first, second and third prize. So there are six prizes to win!

Go for it! I hope to see many, many entries.

What a great idea! Sometimes people get caught up in achieving perfection that they don't realize postwork is not the only solution - there's also PREwork, all the work that goes in to making great textures, morphs, etc., setting up lights, atmosphere and so on. Looking forward to this!

Cool idea.

And if you like pure Poser, don't forget this month's Poser forum challenge. It's "no postwork"!

The contest has started! It'll end on October 1st, so you've got six weeks to think of something. Should be long enough.

You can bet I'll be entering this.

Oh! I'm in!!! Thanks for having the contest!!! It gets those rusty cogs in my brain a-whirling again! **Off to think something up! :)

Great idea !

This sounds very interesting. Is asking help from the organizer allowed?...LOL!...Just a short rant: Actually I started out something like that..no postwork whatsoever, and then somewhere along the way I was 'assimilated' ..hehe.. But this is an excellent idea, so count me in...:D

Sounds great! Count me in, too.

Great! wears his no-postwork suit and dives in head first ;)

oh, btw, Happy b'day!

Hi SVDL, are we allowed to have back ground pic's in the picture...

Hey, Happy Birthday, svdl! Yesterday was my younger son's birthday, too! :) Sounds like a great contest, too, I think I'm in. :D Tricia

AAhh! The wild dutchman strikes again. I've got a ton of these already. What's the call on rendering to the same window? Say if you go over 6 v3s...Or is it the one shot render.

Okay I entered crossing fingers now hehe great Idea , been working with Non postwork Techiques Lately . so this was a fun challenge

Do I get extra points fer usin' yr models? ;-) Happy B'Day, & many more!

Big Happy Birthday to you svdl!! Count me in. Great idea for a contest and thanks for givin' us P4/PPP users a chance!! jen

happy belated birthday to you scdl :) and bookmarking the contest :)

Also a happy belated birthday from me.

What a cool idea. And happy b-day!

Happy bday I almost never use post work exept to make thumbs. nothing better than pulling off that crisp perfect render. im in.

Great idea and Happy Birthday, I'm going to do this one, I rarely do any postwork also.

But I do have a question. Can they be previoulsy posted images, or do they have to be new renders not having been posted anywhere?

ahh haaa, sounds good to me, a pure poser render! what a refreshing change!! ill be entering, as sometimes doing post work can sometime either make or brake and image, so this is cool :D thanks! oh and weezie, click on link in first post to get full rules!!
