Dare I enter this fray?
I agree there folks that upload daily into Bryce gallery that just seem to be Poser models with a stock pose, placed on a feebie model, pasted on a downloaded background. There is too much of this, imho. The quality of the Bryce gallery suffers as a whole because of it. I can understand why ICM would want to improve this situation;but.....
Drawing a line in the sand would be difficult. It would be nearly as difficult in describing "what is art". Ruling out all images that were not "pure" by dhama's description would be closing one's eyes to some powerful features of our favorite app.
I would be disappointed if I had an image pulled and stuck in mixed media because I used geocontrol generated terrain or an effect added by importing an apophysis flame when it was Bryce that allowed me this freedom.
Brycetech selected one of my images to use on the back of his most recent Bryce tutorial CD. Guess what, it was an image where Daz Mil Dragon was the main subject, blended in to an apophysis background, and postworked for smoothing and some detail. I guess he and his staff that selected the image were heretic to have chosen the image???
Is Carrara/RDS gallery going to implement the same standards?? There are more poser peeps there than in Bryce gallery.
