Maybe we expect different things from the Poser section. I really don´t like untouched renders and I don't understand the "no postwork, just render" WOW factor.  No matter how good a render looks, it will always look better after a bit of surgical postwork IMO.

There was a time, back in the Poser 4 days, where I would agree with you. At the time, Poser's limited renderingengine was generally not capable of making really "WOW" images without postwork (with some exceptions, there's always been some true masters around)

But IMO rendering a Poser image in ... for instance Vue is ... cheating. It's no longer a Poser pic then. I would expect a Poser image to be rendered in Poser. After all, 99.9% of the content is made in other programs - but just because it's "Poser Ready" doesn't mean it's Poser ONLY - So you can set up things in Carrara, using things from your Poser runtime - would you still claim that to be a Poser image as well? It would be the same to say that something rendered in DS should be posted in the Poser category because Poser was there first and the things were originally made for Poser.

To me, the renderer is the deciding point, unless it's clear that most of the work is done in Photoshop. If you render a nude Vicky and paint clothes and hair on her and put her on a background, all in Photoshop, then it's IMO no longer a Poser picture. In that case the render is merely like a tube or stamp or decal or whatever the appropriate term is for any given image program.

If tthe postwork is merely fixing things, smoothing bends, colour correcting, adding signature and/or frames.. then it's still basically a Poser image, but if the postwork is the MAIN thing in the image, it's not.

In my opinion, that is.

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
