I agree with Ironbear- this is advertising. It is saying, here's an image I made with Product X. Don't forget, it's on sale for a special low price of $319.00. (Okay, the message doesn't actually give a price or a link, but still.) If Marketplace merchants can't post images on how to use their own products, why can CL? Ah, that's right- they're a paid sponsor of this site... let's see more ads, um, I mean, "useful images". {And? Isn't showing us what Poser 5 can do helping us to learn? } How is showing an image "helping"? I would like to know: 1) How long did it take to set up the objects for this image? 2) What Firefly settings were used? 3) How long did it take to render the image? 4) What version of Poser 5 was used? Somehow, I doubt that the buggy, "public" version of P5 was used. I have the feeling that, like the "California Dreaming" images, this was made with a "development" version of Poser on a development PC that is virtually crash-proof... and one that none of us will realistically be using. Oh, wait, there are the answers... deep in the thread and many messages AFTER the posting of the image. I probably would have "learned" a lot more if this information had been posted WITH the images. Yes, it's nice that we're seeing this images, but the argument can be made for "If you have time to make images, you have time to fix the program." Are all the bugs fixed? Or is it time to announce a new feature?
