"at any rate, the way it is worded, it is a suggestion, not a RULE, so.... feel free to ignore it ;)" exactly. that's the way my comment was ment. :-) but just for the sake of argument: figure was made in maya, textures were made in photoshop. you load the figure in poser, pose it and render. why should the image that's rendered somewhere else not be poser-ish? i don't want to show how good poser render engine is (which is not), i want to show how good poser poses human figures. or, prop done in bryce/max/lightwave: why importing it into poser and thus make "poser" gallery entry and not load figure into b/m/l and thus loosing that "status"? what has changed?
