I don't visit the galleries. Why? Because, it's generally either really weird, really bad or it's softcore porn. I don't have any issue with any of those, but there's no reason for me to waste time for them.

There HAVE been some really excellent renders, over the years. Some artists have a very nice style, too. But, good examples of these things seem few and far between, these days. I'd probably visit the galleries more often if I knew of quality renders, especially if the artist would give a good listing of the items used, textures, a brief synopsis of the lighting and any customized assets... Mostly, it's just "look at what I did" sort of stuff, I guess.
