It does seem that the number of poor quality images have increased over the past year or so. I think that this is due in part to the popularity of this site. Renderosity has gained alot of new members ranging from the talented artists for whom this site was founded, to those who have limited artistic ability but think it neat to be able to use any 3d prog. Unfortunately, these folks don't really know how to create or compose anything much beyond the poorly posed nude Vicky. And the sheer volume of their poor quality images does tend to scare off the talented artists. One bad result of all these endless poorly posed nude Vicky images is that we have gained alot of nudity surfers. By this I mean people who surf the galleries not to see the creative and talented efforts of other artists, but who come here only to see nudity. Evidence the number of viewings on any image with a 'nudity warning' label. Quite often these images will have viewings well into the hundreds, but only 1 or 2 comments. And the comments are almost always about the sexiness of the figure and never on the creativity or ability of the artist. It's interesting to visit other artists communities like cgtalk and get a feel for how members there view Renderosity. I have found that the general view of cgtalk members is that Renderosity is the place to go if you want to see poor quality and unimaginative soft porn. Of course their opinions are also flavored by their distain for low end apps like Poser and Bryce, which is not a valid excuse though, because in the right hands, these apps can and do produce very high quality images just as well as the ones that cost hundreds and thousand of dollars. Is there a solutiion to the over abundance of poorly composed and unimaginative images that clog the galleries daily? I am sure that there are several, but one that I try to follow on a regular basis is this. Let time weed out the undeserving! Don't encourage poor quality by viewing those images that your can tell by the thumbnail are nothing more than a waste of your time. and in time, hopefully short, the producers of those waste of time postings will lose interest and go away from lack of attention received. Conversely, DO click on the images that you feel are deseving of your time. And not only that, but leave a comment too.
