I realize I'm coming a bit late to this thread, but I found it interesting. My view is that there are very few images rendered with Poser figures in them that don't need a little "postwork". There's almost always a bit of poke-through, an odd looking joint, a missing shadow, a too dark area that needs fixing.

I agree 200% with svdl!

Quote - An artist uses the tools of his/her choice, usually it's more than one tool.
The division of galleries by tool is quite artificial IMO, and a source for (often rather heated) discussion of "purity".
I'd rather see the galleries divided by genre (as it is now), possibly with "sub-genres", and drop the tool selection. Instead, a "Tools used" section on the upload page, similar to the merchant credit upload facility could be used.

As an art community, it's time we move away "software centric" gallery catagories and just went with the genres ala deviantArt for example.

It's all fun and games...
Until the flying monkeys attack!!!
