"but I truly think that at least in the POSER backroom, any images that have things drawn on them through an external program after the render from poser is complete should not be there, they dont show what poser can do, they do show the artists talent at postwork"

Uhm... even if there's absolutely NO postwork done in an image, it's still not a true example of what Poser is capable of, unless the artist incorporates all of Poser's features in one render (not likely). Even then, it's still a show of the artist's TALENT at using Poser, because the software doesn't do the ART for you.

The arguments against any kind of postwork in the Poser gallery or backroom are completely sophomoric... Galleries are not a good litmus test to see what Poser can do, because instead you're always going to see what the artist can do with Poser. Poser, like ANY application, is only as capable as the artist, never the other way around.

There's plenty of tutorials and other such training material about Poser around the web... why not just use the plethora of technical essays written by Geep and others to judge what "Poser can do?" Message edited on: 09/19/2005 09:19
