Thank you oilscum, FINALLY someone who understands!
Maxxmodelz - "Happens all the time in EVERY application. For instance, some newbies think that just because Alias/Wavefront's website says Maya was used in the making of LOTR, that they can get the software, learn it, and do what they saw there." - EXACTLY my point. You only have to go to Curious Labs Gallery and look at the mnumber of images in there that have been Postworked. If I was looking at Poser as a potential application for the first time and saw these images I would WRONGLY assume that it is capable of all the effects shown in the Gallery. Fact us most of us have got frustrated enough with Poser to know this isn't the case. This is in effect false product merchandising - something I'm sure no-one would be happy with if it were done in the Marketplace. All I'm saying is credit the art wth the tools that were used in the making of it - that way we can decide where our ooooohhhs and ahhhhhhs should be placed.
Oh and BTW, I don't get pissed-off when postworkers shun pre-fabbed images. Its a completely different set of skills. One requires 2d skills and the other 3d skills and like I said before - the artist can use whatever medium he/she wants to make the image. Please remember the original post - I'm not looking to ban postwork I just want them distinguished from non-postworked images. THATS ALL I'M ASKING FOR! Anyone else agree with that LAST statement????
