Quote - The whole # of images thing, some on the front page and some you have to click throuh at the bottom is kinda something that depends on the vendor's off site storage situation.
When you see more images on the front page than the one allowed at the top it means that the vendor has formatted the description to call off site images. For people like me, who have plenty of bandwidth on their web hosting package, hot linking to off site images for promos is no big deal. But if a vendor is scrunched for bandwidth they almost have to deal with the promos as set up in the system here. Even using image hosting sites is iffy cause of nudity rules in the TOS, and many still have bandwidth restrictions.
Good to know that that's how it works. Use of hosting sites for more images on the frontpage wouldn't be a problem as far as nudity is concerned, as the frontpage doesn't allow nudity in any case (vendors almost always restrict nudity to the 'additional images' part provided by renderosity). If the hosting site allows the use of images for commercial reasons (I'm not sure if that's generally the case?) - that might be a solution for some vendors?
Quote - I'm also going to agree with surreality on the monitor issue. My rendering machine is my laptop, and what looks great on that LCD screen looks absolutely horrible on the old CRT attached to my desktop.
I'm sure that's the case and I don't think anyone would deny that good monitors are capable of displaying more detail etc. But that's not the source of the problem in my case (I suspect there would probably still be a relative difference between 'good' and 'poor' promo sets on any single monitor, anyway).
@Bluecho - great to know that you're working on a V4 version (really hope you find a solution to the INJ pose issue soon! :))
