Agree and Disagree.

Keep in mind everyone that NO ONE starts out great. When we ALL first started out and rendered out first 'masterpiece' we were proud of it and wanted to share it with the world. Most of us evolve and when we look back at out early masterpieces, we think 'what the hell was I thinking?!"

Everyone starts small before they get great and I do not begrudge them that learning time. 

Some of the true greats often use poser as just a base and then go on to other tools for the final image. They paint the hair on. Thay paint the clothes on. They change the atmosphere with any number of actionc/plug-ins/etc. No one does or learns how to do these things overnight!

So in the process, we have many images of less than great renders while they get better.

To placate these folks down with poser rendering, maybe when can create different cataeories to post in.

1. Beginner crap images from people on their way to becoming a great Poser artists.
2. Intermediate crap images from people on their way to becoming a great Poser artists.
   ...etc. 

Think that would help the problem any?

I also do not have a problem with 'canned' anything. Rarely do I use a canned pose as is, but if I have one that's close enough, I'll use it and I'll tweak it to what I want and I defy anyone to do it faster than that from a complete zero point pose!

I would love to be able to paint on clothes. I would love to be able to create a complete scene, say anything like from what I buy from DM (Excellent Products by the way!) 
But there's a whole new learning curve invloved there that most of us (I'm guessing) just don't have the time for. Let alone the extra hardware to do it properly (ie. graphics tablet vs mouse, programs, time to learn how, etc.)

No, I absolutely do not berate anyone going through the learning curve with poser, even if what they post is crap! They will not and can not get better if they don't!

AND, I'll say with absolute certainty that some of the best Poser artists (given all the tools they use) can easily go head-to-head anytime with any of the 'other' artists! Period.

But NONE of them started out without making crap in the begining.

My 2cents worth.

i7 6800 (6 core/12 thread), 24 GB RAM, 1 gtx 1080 ti (8GB Vram) + 1 Titan X (12GB Vram), PP11, Octane/Poser plugin, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Oh, and a wiener dog!
