A few years ago I had a gallery here with quite a lot of images but then I closed the gallery for a few different reasons. When Rendo recently purchased Poser I was drawn back and I found many of the reasons that I closed the gallery were no longer an issue. Over the past couple of months I have rebuilt my gallery with both old and new images. The old ones do not go back more than two years and are probably some that would have been here had I not deleted them. I have done so for a couple of reasons, firstly people can look at my old and present work and decide if I have improved over the last couple of years. All of the renders were created in either Poser Pro 2014 or Poser 11 which I think covers a big chunk of Posers users so the second reason is that people can see what is possible with limited skills, and boy my skills are certainly limited. Final reason would be that many of the products I use are sill available, case is point would be the Master Skin Resource 7 for Dawn from 3Dream. I used this when I created my 'Caoimhe', character which I have been using for story telling for the last four years, it is still on sale and is still as stunning today as it was when I purchased it.

I like the fact that there is no limitation to the uploads, but even then I have generally tried to limit my uploads to four a day as I do not want to swamp the Poser library. There may have been odd days when I have done more than four a day, I really do not know but if I have it would have been four in the early hours of the morning (UK time) and four the same evening.

I am not saying this to upset anyone but as I have got older, like so many others, I have difficulty sleeping and my heath is on a downhill slide which will now doubt continue. Poser keeps my brain active and with the time I have and the way I work, yes I can do more than one render in a day, whether they are good enough upload to the gallery is another story. It may be easy to make a judgement on this issue from a personal point of view and there is nothing wrong in that but it is also your view might be different if your circumstances were to change.

And your images always tell a story and aren't just another female in hookerwear. I love your stuff and hope you won't quit posting as many as like on any day.

It's nice to see high quality images uploaded to the gallery shoving those NVIATWAS images so popular in the gallery. Don't let anyone discourage you.

The really sad part is knowing that excellent images will barely get any views and maybe 2 comments if they're lucky. But the plague of tpose-d, default lighting FF renders get 10+ comments with "AMAZING IMAGE" "WONDERFUL POSE!!!!!@@@!!!!" "BEAUTIFUL RENDER!@&*#@@!!!" and I'm wondering wtf they're actually looking at. It sure isn't the tpose wonders they're supposedly commenting on.

When I had a gallery here in the past that was true and is what I expected now but my experience this time has been a little different. I started uploading to the new gallery at the end of September and now my notifications are close to 350 which I was slightly surprised at but then I am always presently surprised when anyone takes the time to comment on one of my renders. As I have uploaded so many renders that is an average of around three but many have six or more comments (and of course that means a few none at all) and as my renders are never the normal NVIATWAS I am fairly pleased with that. The number of my followers is 31 although some of those may not be active so there is an interest.

Of course many may view and not leave a comment and I am happy with that as all I am trying to do is generate interest in 3D art in general. I have been active in the hobby for over twenty years now and, not only have I loved playing, it has provided a distraction when life has decided to throw a few curve balls. I have been overwhelmed with the help and support I have received in forums such as this and, quite simply, I cannot believe the some of the art I am now able to produce. Of course it is a millions miles away from quality 3D art but anyone looking at what I was producing twenty years ago to what I can produce would be amazed I am sure. More to the point, I am able to illustrate a story with images that bounce around my head which would never see the light of day if it were not for 3D art and the community supporting it.

I think that is why I like the fact that there is the encouragement to upload images, I love seeing what others can do with the same, or similar, software to what I am using. I got interested in the hobby purely by looking at the stunning images in the 3D art galleries and I hope others will be similarly attracted today. To me the more uploads there are the more there is likely to be a variation thus expanding the potential to encourage others to be inspired enough to have a go.

 

 

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.
