ok so then it is not just me that cant find it. lol there were so many great entries. I cant wait to see which one won...the giesha and the victorian lady with the feather hat.......ohh and the last entry was great.......

I know of a similar incident when a woman protested the statue of venus and david being naked and they clothed them!!! how insane. Naked doesnt have to be porn and naked doesnt have to be disgusting. I see nothing wrong with posting of nudes ..and flaging them. as some do not wish to view it. I my self note when a piece of mine does have nudity. that way if for some reason they do not have the nudity flag thinggy on they can still see that it may be offensive to some. When did being naked start to equal something bad? I mean it has its place and time.

.O OK I had to post ...one I take great offense to the empress {When I refer friends who are deeply interested in 3D art, programs, design, etc. and want to learn, I spend at least five minutes explaining to them most of what they see will be cheap, tasteless, tacky images/attempts at soft core porn - porn enough to evade the TOS. } I am sorry but in my time here I have seen some truely wonderful and talented work. I rarely see just plain ill done renders or renders that are just for a cheep giggle. I do nudes. and in no way do I consider them soft porn. They are an expression of human form and of the texture maps I worked on or setting. I have looked around Renderosity and rarely do I see anything that would make me offended. {saw one with grotesquely huge breast one time but hey they were coverd.} Renderosity is not just some site with bad posts and cheap attempts at porn. As far as the nudity setting...well as it has been said. one you have to use that nudity banner box on your pic..two you have to realize that there is nudity and most fantasy work contains it {god knows why I know if I was rushing into battle with a dragon I would NOT have my thighs and buttocks not to mention my breast bare but hey it seems to work for the woman} Three, It is not actually that some parents are lax it is that some kids are geniuses when it comes to the puter trust me I can show you a 13yrold that can crack any system out there. I send people here all the time and never have I had the feeling I have had to apologize for the site or content. Quite the contrary. It is someplace I send people when they ask me about 3D art. I tell them...."there are examples there of everything you think it ..it is there" that way they know that is it not all one style or subject matter. They know that not every render will be a monet. But they do appreciate that it is diverse. Ok enough of the rant. No more caffine for me today :)

ohhh Thank you . that has to be it cus everything has been poopy. some services/sites more then others. Thank you for the tip Ill go read :)

I have been having problems since last night {actully sometime around 2am central time} I can not upload or access my account. For a bit there it was that I couldnt get Renderosity up at all. is this a server problem or site problem? I ask due to the fact that I notice msn also has the problem with accounts being accessable {not to mention other computer based services} Anyone else having problems?

you almost have to have another program to get life from poser. I mean with out photoshop or some other paint program ...there would be no texture maps. I think that there almost has to be a combination of programs used. You simply can not get certain effects in poser. like say...that soft almost glowing feel of old movie star photos. or that certain light that plays off a crystal ball. those you have to tweek in a paint program. I try very hard to get "no post work" renders. but I always feel like they are missing something. either a softening of an edge. or that hazy light to give that soft etherial look. Poser is wonderful but in my opinion it needs just a small bit of help now and then. DarkElegance

oh good it wasnt just me that couldnt find it.
