Interesting topic again. On one hand, this pure pursuit will drive the technology forward. The new features of Poser 6 are coming out of the need for a better render at the outset. Nothing wrong with that. I have recently begun to see 3d models as a way of shaping "paint" tho. In most cases, that "model" you are seeing in the image is really a painted image wrapped around a 3d object. As displacement mapping technology improves, the map will be doing even more of the "modeling" work. So, texture maps are "post" from the beginning. If you are gonna do this, texture maps that are painted/photos would be out, and only procedural ones would be allowed. I am not sure if anyone would want to do this, as a V3 procedural texture I don't think exists. I think what you guys want is a "render only gallery". This gallery could be for all softwares, and be only about rendering.
