There is another big difference between postworked and not postworked images, but the difference is not easily defined by the use or not of postwork. Most images rendered with Poser 5, I haven't opinion on Poser 6 yet, and many poorly rendered in Poser 4 can fit in the same cathegory of postworked. Why?, which is the difference? Some postworked images, some rendered in Poser 5, are beautiful, are a piece of art, so what's the problem? They are NOT NATURAL, are only a great illustration! Of court all depend what are you doing, if you are doing cartoons, illustrations, comics, etc, of course that your goal is not natural scenes, so this post don't apply to you. Rendering hair is difficult, the rendered hair in most cases don't look natural, but if you postwork the hair you are going more away from natural scenes even can be nicer. Take a look at the Poser galleries and tell me how many images you find that look as it were taken by a photographic camera, there are very few. Bryce landscapes can be beautiful, but are not natural. Vue gives much better result. My gallery is an atempt for making natural scenes, in some pictures I achieved some result in others I am very far away.

Stupidity also evolves!
