"Quite disrespectful, and I don't see the connection between SM and DAZ. Here it is http://poser.smithmicro.com/gallery.html and is does answer the question what the program is capable of. Edit: Bagginsbill is in slots 5, 7 and 8."
Ironicly many of the really interesting images in that gallery to which you just linked,
would not be allowed under a Draconian "no postwork" rule.
And I do see alot of DAZ& non poser native ,content in that gallery like the
Sanctumart grim armor and the Soros7
Sci-fi hallway and of course ubiquitous V-chick.
So yes that gallery does promote the usage Daz products
....but so what!
who cares!?
,as you correctly stated ,overall it is a decent representation of the kind of images one can ultimately produce with poser as the CORE engine in your OVERALL ARTIST TOOL SET, if one is inclined to make the effort.
IMHO a strict "no postwork" displayed gallery at smith micro would do NOTHING to convince potential buyers about the many overall abilities of Poser today.
"As for who posts in the galleries and why and whether or not the rules are fair... does it really matter? We weren't talking about a competition with a cash prize, were we? Just some galleries. Gosh."
Again which makes me wonder why the "no post work" advocates seem to believe that they are being somehow unfairly represented or even "cheated"
when they are perfectly free to post their untouched renders right now in ANY gallery category and clearly announce in the description
"no post work of any kind involved"
Cheers
