Thought I would jump in here.. I believe I have a theory as to why so many pics involve Vickie posing in a minimal background. We're often hampered creatively by the tools we're given, and when we (myself included) look at hi-res models like Vickie we feel the need to use them, and also to let the model itself do most of the "talking". So, we pose Vickie provocatively (nude, to show off the remarkable detail of DAZ's creation) in a room element of some kind. We play with the lights and expressions, and render it. Ta-da! Instant art. I believe that most us at least started that way, by playing with the elements and tools we were given with Poser. Often times the figures inspire the images we create, not the other way around. We'll ask ourselves "What can I do with Vickie/Mike/Steph/Dragon/Whatever?" instead of conjuring up an image first, then adapting or creating elements to make it happen. Now, this isn't a bad thing, and I am not saying that people who create "Vickie in a temple" images are all beginners or are uncreative. I'm just saying that this might be the reason for the multitude of similar images out there. Anyone else think this makes sense? -=JFStan=- "I will now accept your praise and adulation!" - Robokopf
