Quote - I AM saying I thought there were more frequent cases of photorealistic art previously (photorealism being the hardest to achieve in my view; anyone can knock out a crap cartoon or collage and call it art; and if you think the poser gallery has precious few examples of basic V3 with no decent lighting, think again!).
Years ago there were books that had CG Poser type art in them (like gallery books of a sort). The art was very good. I don't know if those artists were ever Rendo members though. They were using 3DS Max to render in with Mray or Vray thrown in. I do have a couple Poser gallery books and the art looks like it was rendered in Poser with default lights almost. But $9 for the books.
Art books and artists I prefer to look for are Poser figures that have been painted over in Painter or Photoshop. The Poser figures were used as a guide.
