Quote - I really would love to see NEW things and maybe, more carefully crafted... There are some outstanding products that never get the exposure or the "fame" that IMHO they deserve.
Just my 2 cents... hope this don´t annoy nobody and if I did speech mistakes ( what is a sure thing) please forgive me because my fingers write english but my head thinks in spanish :)

See ya

Fabi, I hold your opinion in the highest regard. Your renders (promo pictures and gallery) are superb and your mesh is spectacular in craftsmanship and cleanliness. I wish you gave lessons.

Whilst there are many who are starting to understand and embrace refining Poser techniques (including material management, light settings and overall composition) not only to improve their work but to overcome some of Poser's inherent shortcomings, most users want to pop a figure into the work area, throw an outfit on her, pose her with a sword and render her in a temple.

Well, so they should. They bought the product: have at it.

And if they are brave enough, pop the results in their gallery: sure.

My initial efforts were beyond lame, but I've been told to keep them there, so that you have a measure of progress. What does seem a bit disheartening is when the same images keep being submitted, no change, no evidence that the artist is trying new techniques, developing new skills.

Perhaps we need a WIP gallery... where people would only post images if they are actually developing some idea, are going somewhere with a scene (as opposed to just a quickie "wow, look what I did" type render).

It's an idea for a gallery, isn't it?
