I was agreeing with you.o_0

We all started with "bad poser renders". A good portion started out as hobbiest and learned, improved and some moved to more.

Hi DarkElegance

Thanks for the comments.  I got the drift that we were broadly on the same lines and I guess I was responding to the thread in general and cetainly not taking issue with your response.  Added to that the fact that, while English is my first language, it does not mean I am good at using it to get my veiws across clearly.

I think the other valid point coming from this thread is that the majority of Poser users do not use these forums.  I have leant a great deal from the threads over the years (even in lurk mode) and with the knowledge I have gained I can see how many of the renders that appear in the gallery could be improved.  I suspect then that those that do not look at the forums cannot see the same flaws or find it more difficult to improve.

I hope the new Premium tutorials here at Rendo help to raise the bar as I do feel the more you understand about Poser the more fun you can have.

While I think it will be very difficult to change peoples veiws I think any help in getting Poser users to get more enjoyment from their art to be a worthwhile aim and certainly not flogging a dead horse.  It is however a sad fact that some of the flame wars and grinding of axes here on the forum are contarary to this aim.  Thankfully there are a large number who spend a great deal of time and effort in being helpful, often with questions that have been asked so many times in the past. Not only that, but there are others doing so much to improve the Poser experience, just look at the EZmat 'sticky' thread  to see an example of that. 

 

 

 

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.
