Qualien - Thanks for your post - it is far from being "long-winded" - a concise summary of the points raised by everyone I'd say. A great idea about nopostwork.com but I'm not sure I want to go to a completely new site. I like renderosity, I like the forums and the galleries and the freestuff that I can access from the same page of links. I just wish there was a way for postworked and non-postworked images to exist together and people could look at the types of images that interests them.
For me it is images that show off the artistry of the software developers who are pushing the boundaries of what software can do in modelling the real world, for others it is the look of the final image and for still others it is images with large boobs in them (postworked or not)!
If I have stepped on anyones toes during this thread due to misunderstanding then I apologize but I am really not trying to make out that one technique is superior to another - just different. And thank goodness there are differences or the gallery would just be full of boob images!
The ideal solution would be for artists to select what tools they used in prodcing their images when they upload and for a new search screen which will allow you to narrow the images down to the type of images that interest the individual. Putting no criteria into the search would display all the images as it is in the gallery now.
I was hoping that if enough people felt the same way then maybe Renderosity might consider it. However, I know this is unlikely to happen now since there seems to be so much opposition (albeit misplaced opposition by artists getting hot under the collar and assuming I was personally attacking their methods). Oh, well it was worth a try.
Thanks to everyone for participating...
