I have seen some very well done Trans mapped hair. I even have a couple that turned out great. I most likely spent more time rendering those couple of hairs in a mutitude of layers to get the effect, than you spend painting. So does that make my hair better than yours? No. I'm not a trained artist, I am a musician for over 38 years. It's a good thing we aren't judged by what tools we use to get an ideal out. I use a maple neck and anyone else using a rosewood neck are not applying themselves to be better musicians. Even if my other 3 axes are rosewood. LOL. (rolls eyes) You seem to be good at painting. What about all of us that are good at creating morphs or modeling the clothes and props and creating the lights that we use in Poser. The ideals, stories and feelings that are put into that render. That to me is what an artist is. Now, I for one would not have enough time to animate painted hair. 15 to 24 fps. Wooh, not in my lifetime. I was in the gallery for a bit for the first time scence before XMas. I do agree that there is a bit of repetition and lack of luster in many renders. I also think it has to do with so many new learners of poser in the last while. So that's not a bad thing. Post work is a proccess that comes later. If you want more views and comments. Comment on every image, every day, you will get more. Having a snobish Ideal on art won't.
