I suppose much of what you get from the gallery depends on you hopes and expectations.  I looked at the gallery for a number of years before I posted my first render which was sometime last year.  I used the gallery as a means to see what others were doing, what I liked and and how I could use it in my own renders.  When I did post I was lucky enough to get some comments, some of which were critical but also constructive.  I thanked those individuals as I did appreciate them taking the time.

Some others even added one or two of my renders to their favorites, this could have been in the hope I would do likewise but it might also have been because they liked my render or saw something in it that inspired them. I will never know the real reason but I will happily kid myself that they saw value in my work and it is a nice feeling.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
