I presume everybody knows by now just how divisive a topic like this is. How it takes away from any enjoyment of the work and puts each render through some fascist meatgrinder of prohibitions. Damn, does anybody really want to work with that amount of angst over their shoulder prejudging their work? PostWork aside-- if you don't like it don't do it-- if it's forbidden, I will simply lie about it. There 8is the option of a very simple rule-- a fractal for the purposes of this gallery is a work whose predominant percentage was rendered in a Fractal generating program. Period. If there's a poem, so what, it isn't going to take up over 50% of the fractal, if it does, put it somewhere else. Likewise with those creation in Vue and Bryce. At some point we have to decide whether we want to die in the sterile gettho of purity or open up to the growth and fertility of Fractals as a real art form-- capable of change and evolution. Them's my thoughts and I have a gallery pretty evenly divided between Fractal and Poser and have-- up till now, had no problem knowing which went where. Queri AKA Emily
