Yeah, that's been one of the "hot topics" for some time. Postwork or purist? I think one of the difficulties with the "purist" position is that while Poser is an excellent human modeler, and a great scene creator (with effort), it has an extremely poor renderer. I would never use the native renderer for anything other thatn test runs. The alternatives? One, render in Poser, and enhance the image in Photoshop or similar. Two, use an alternative renderer. Unfortuntely, the available alternatives are often more expensive then Poser itself- Bryce, or Vue, for instance. And if you do use one of these for scenes and rendering, the respective "purists" here complain that you are cluttering their space with Poser output. A third alternative is to buy a more capable renderer, such as Mental Ray, but that's kind of like buying a gold box for copper jewelry. I couldn't afford it. I'm working on a fourth alternative now. (Not to be secretive, but as soon as I get a few more ducks in a row, I'll share. I'm in the just-an-idea stge right now.) As for the original question- I don't think the tools matter so much as the artist in this one. Beautiful work is beautiful work, no matter how it's done. We should encourage each other to do our best in any and every way, not waste time deriding others because our tools are better than theirs. The tool doesn't make the artist. (That was a general comment, btw. I'm sure you have been nothing but courteous with fellow artists, and are simply trying to help with a well-known point of contention.)
