"which leads me to wonder why anyone bothers to post in the galleries? except the few who fall into the above categories?",
Well you have to ask the people what motivates them to post in a web gallery
as the reasons will vary
the ones who model tend to post images to show case their modeling skills
Texture artists to show case their texture painting skills
and so on
perhaps some poser user post images to highlight their compositional skills
and artistic& lighting choices with their content.
"not trying to be an ass here, i'm just wondering how people really percieve the galleries and what motivation is there to emulate your favourite artist/style/genre if you can never afford to join the big boys league?"
Consider the possibility that not every poser user aspires to join the "big boys league'
some just want to use what ever tools "in camera" or post camera to make their finished pieces.
Trust me even the "big boys" perform post render adjustments(Gamma,Bloom etc) to their
Vray,Mental Ray Arnold,Renderman, Maxwell,Modo etc renders.
As for the suggestion to post such a gallery on the SM site, well IMHO that would be nothing more than a FREE advert for the DAZ inc $$$Store$$ unless you restricted it to the SM's poser native content.
