PerfectN, it really is a great image. You’re a talented artist, no question; and it’s a absolute crime that more people won’t see your image due to an over-cropped thumb-nail. Ultimately though, I do agree with the TOS.

 

It may not be perfectly suited to every single instance (your image is a prime example) but it’s as close to reasonable and acceptable middle-ground, and coverall solution that’s possible.

 

Sure, there’s still DeviantArt and Renderotica as viable alternatives. But I for one enjoy the (some would argue ‘artificial’) sense of community here at R’osity; and the somewhat rare acceptance of Poser as an Artistic medium.

 

What I’ve come to realise is at its core Renderosity isn’t in actuality an artist’s community; it’s a commercial site designed to sell products; with the gallery essentially being a means to display and endorse said products (wittingly or otherwise). As such, it must be consumer friendly to the largest possible contingent.

 

Still, this debate will always re-surface. You just can’t please everyone, and unfortunately for PerfectN, it’s sometimes the good ones that suffer for the greater good.

 

If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominos will fall like a house of cards...checkmate!
