hello ladies and gents and happy new year to all, I've been a member here for quite some time and I read most of the posts here and look at every image at the gallery. One of the popular comments either here or at the vue gallery is the issuse of "post work" and that being most peoples nightmare here, I want your opinions on this subject. Why is post work considered as "evil"? What does the term "post-work" mean to you? I cannot ask for your opinion without stating mine first. To me, the whole concept of "art" is important no matter in which medium you use - wether it be photography, digital imagery, traditional art, muisic, film etc. Art is a way of expressing feelings and also method of showing what you are capable of doing. Van Gogh is an artist. He shares his feelings and emotions with us and also shows of what he is capable of doing with his god-given talent. In the digital arena, we are given a lot of tools to create art. Vue is one of them. I use Vue to express my feelings, emotions and even just being plain silly. It doesn't matter. I create the images based on how I feel. I use photoshop to do my post work because I've been using ps for 4 years, got my certification and I pretty much know the program inside out. Same for Vue. You cannot express your feelings without knowing your choice of programs inside out. I want to create images that says something about me, that shows my moods and I do not consider post work as "evil". I look at the final image, the final work. It doesn't matter if you add some effects or leave it as it is right out of the renderer. I create my images using Vue, I post them in the Vue gallery. I am not here to show how powerful Vue render engine is. That is the job of the people at e-on software. That is marketing. I am interested in the final work. The Art. Take a look at rohi's outstanding gallery. Should we not call him an artist because he uses all different programs to create his art? http://www.renderosity.com/gallery.ez?ByArtist=Y&Artist=rohi Regards, Ozan
