"Oh I do follow Dr. Geep and Bagginsbill quite avidly.  I love what Bagginsbill did with
matmatic.  In fact I created a shader group for V2 for him to go along with the one he
created for V3, and he was very pleased and appreciative of my efforts. It's not like I'm
some sort of noob that just picked up Poser yesterday. 
Look, I have no problem with people who want to use postwork to pretty up their
pictures.  You and a few others here seem to have the idea I am trying to ban using
postwork.  All I am saying is it is a bit disingenous to pass your work off as a Poser
render when the reason it looks the way it does is because of postwork.  Someone
just coming into Poser starts wondering why his/her renders never come off looking
that good and then gets the idea they have to go out and buy other programs to
bring their work up to snuff.  How about instead we show people what can be
done with Poser and Poser alone?  "

If the galleries were just about what Poser can do alone they wouldn't be very sucessful. The point is we are not here to extoll the virtues of Poser or any other app. Were her to express ourselves artistically. There also happen to be some very creative technicians (for lack of a better word) that produce stunningly realistic images as well. Additionally if you would look at the gallery closely tou'll find a number of posts that state "postwork free" or similar verbage. We have a bit of everything here and thats what makes it great.
