Hiya Bloodsong! Well, I think postwork is postwork, and fine for publishing, but unfair for comparison purposes. After all, not all of us use Poser strictly to publlish or strictly for "art". It is great that there are so many artists here, and they definnitely need to show their work, but why in the Poser Gallery just because there is a Poser figure in their artwork? By your definition, almost everything in all the galleries could qualify as "poser in nature". And since the poser gallery has at least 5,000 more images than the second most popular one, I think it could use some "thinning out". As for "poser purists" ;-) - I think that there might not be too many who admit to it, but a lot of people would like to see just how far the current version Poser can go before we abandon it. Personally I have had to find "workarounds" to some poser "bugs" myself - so what - that's just the way most of us learn to use any 3D app. So far, NOBODY has created the "perfect" 3D modeling program, including Maya and Lightwave. But back to the topic, as the heading in the gallery states, "This gallery is primarily for images rendered within Poser itself. Images of Poser figures rendered in other applications are still welcome, but what's the challenge in that? See how well you can do using it's basic rendering tools!" -- And I agree with it all. At the very least, I think people should post the name of the final rendering engine as part of their submission. I would find that information a lot more useful than knowing who made the textures, props or clothing.
