Perhaps if you looked at the options you'd find there is no need for confusion - use the "genre" selector.

I agree with Anthanasius - the issue of Category (which tool to attribute the image to) is unclear when you used more than one and a significant amount of time was spent not in lighting/shaders/rendering but in creating the scene. That's why some people think that spending 10 hours posing in Poser and 10 minutes rendering in Vue justifies calling it a Poser image. But it disturbs me to look at an image who's overall rendering quality is not what you'd expect from Poser. I look at such images and think - my, this person is really skillful with Poser lighting - only to find it wasn't rendered in Poser. If it's categorized as "Poser", then I expect it to have been rendered in Poser.

Similarly, if you spend a week modeling in Max, and render in Poser, it is still a Poser image, not a Max image. The image came from Poser. Maybe the props or figures in it came from elsewhere but so what. I've heard that V4 was modeled in Modo. So if you load V4 and click render in Poser, is that a Modo render? Hardly.

That's why I "posed" the question about Python. (And, no, I'm not talking about Poser Python - I'm talking about Python in general which is a standalone program.) If I do all the work of setting up the scene in Python and at the last minute load it into Poser and render, is that a Python render? I don't think so. For that matter, if you're going to go that way, then the truth is it would be a Notepad.exe render, because that is where I spent all my time writing the Python script - in Notepad.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
