'Naked temple vickies' is something of a code phrase for a lot of us, I suspect. While it could for some mean any nude female render in a preset 'archaic scene'... For me, when I use and hear the phrase I think of 'preset all the way baby'. Something that involves little more than grabbing a figure, applying a post from the pose library, adding in a single backdrop prop, and hitting render. Or a similar level of no original content by the artist. Note how I didn't mention anything about cameras or lights... Often these works stay in a default camera or a default light. Or sometimes one of these is the only original thing done... So in my book, you can have a 'temple vicky' even when you're not using either a temple nor a vicky... And at the same time you can put vicky in a temple and leave her naked and get art. 'temple vicky' is just a 'term of art', or idiom... like when I might saw 'cool', I am probably not referring to temperature, nor whan you say 'what's up?' are you usually asking a person to tell you what is above them... My personal 'bar' for a temple vicky is often set with the so called 'character' phenominon - where people use the face and body dial-presets of others. To me... this is the easiest thing to do original work with. With so many potential face morphs on a figure like Vicky, I should never see the same 'face' twice in the galleries unless I am looking at the same artist doing a series... If all you do is take a premade dial preset and render her/him, it drives me nuts...

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
