Well, it ain't an argument over what is the best method of producing an image, since the answer to that is always going to be "Whatever gets the job done". Nobody in their right mind would limit themselves to one single tool for a job if there were other, better things available. It's more of an opportunity to showcase the software's capabilities and the ingenuity of the people using it, which has been sadly neglected.
In any case, there are so many heavily postworked "Poser" renders that should really go in Mixed Media, IMO. The other thing to consider is, there must be plenty of newcomers who see something in the Poser gallery and wonder how the hell is it possible to do that? The answer, quite often, is that it's not possible, since it was mainly painted over.
It seems a shame that Poser, with all the advances it has made from (even when I started) in Poser 4, is still treated primarily as a rotoscoping tool by many, when there are some incredible effects, shaders and production techniques available now.
