"Poser Characters - I think this may have to be a catagory of its own, or perhaps a general "mesh import" catagory. Can't help with the Poser 3 vs. poser 5 thing, we have gone through that same discussion with Bryce 3 vs. Bryce 5." Just got Poser 5. So there. I simply couldn't resist announcing it. :-) I'm all for creating separate categories, with various things allowed in them. I think that all of us share Brendan's opinion: "What about a Bryce slander contest, yet again this week I had to read through a rundown of the best 3D software, only to see bryce restricted to being a Landscape renderer! Arrrgh!" Could we try to define categories? Or the majority is against them and for pure Bryce? In my opinion, every category should have "made by author" clause -- no other people's meshes, no presets that come with a program. Specifically, that would mean you cannot take the Enterprise mesh that's available on the ... forgot where, or Poser's "flying kick" pose", for instance. And I don't think that one point was addressed. Whether the judges, whoever they are, judge the mastery of Bryce or the pic itself. It may be self-evident, but I think it should be discussed.
