@ wolf - I think you'd just have to take people on trust.  No other way could work, realistically.  Sure, there'd most likely be cheats but sadly, that's the way of it.

As for the why?  I think moriador expressed it well enough.  I could just as well say "Why not?"   In any event, I can't take advantage of the many advances in Poser, since I'm stuck with version 6 but it's still nice to see what can be done with the latest kit, time and ingenuity.  In fact, I'm still pleased when I can coax a half decent render out of my lowly version.  Seeing other people's efforts can inspire me and give me additional info on how to get the best I can within the system's limitations.

Finally, though, it's a lot of fun.  Keep in mind what I said earlier in the thread, though; it's a plain stupid approach if you're working for a client and/or a deadline.  Times like those, it's whatever does the job.  I think everyone here knows by now that clients and their targets don't give a monkey's about how it was made, in the same way as most audiences don't care if a great song was played on a Les Paul or a Telecaster.  But to those who actually use the stuff it's an interesting topic in and of itself.
