Quote - Actually, there are a heck of a lot of people who buy a lot but don't render all that much. The respond to sales, and buy stuff "just in case." A great market to appeal to. Sometimes, I'm that person.

Also, there are people who post in these forums who render images. I am very frequently that person.

I just don't post to the Rendo galleries because unless you have about a thousand followers, almost no one will see/respond to your post. I prefer to post elsewhere.

I wouldn't judge the Poser userbase by the galleries here any more than I would by the forum posts. They both tell part of the story. But only part.

Edit: Oops. As to the rest of your post, indeed. Instancing would be very, very cool. And a focus on low poly people for crowds is a pretty surprising, but probably very clever idea.

Edit again. Dammit. I mean to add, vilters has done some great work with the low poly P4 people. With the right work, they can look quite lovely.

 

I agree with this I am considering stopping posting on Rendo now and primarily moving to my own website , sharecg and Deviantart to show my work now 2 of my recent renders did not even get a single view the only ones where me comming to see if anyone had rated it or viewed it.

so this backs up exactly what you said at the start unless you have a 1000 subscribers no-ones going to see or respond.
