...and this may just be because it's late and I'm tired but is there THAT fine of a line between what belongs in the Poser gallery and what belongs in the Bryce gallery? I'm not taking anything away from Poser or their artists...it seems to be a complex program and I'm beginning to 'try' to learn a few things in that program for my next scene (tough task)...but it's a scene that's going to be probably 90% Bryce. Sometimes it just seems exhausting that I'll search through the new Bryce images uploaded, only to run across at least half that really need to be in the Poser gallery (meaning, in a lot of ways it's hard to tell what was actually done in Bryce besides maybe rendering.) There are a few Bryce artists that have made some awesome images in Bryce using a Poser figure that really make the picture hit home for me and are exciting to see...I can tell they used Bryce in every way possible (Alvin, Rochr, Eyecon and others, you know who you are.) Those images belong in the Bryce gallery...but I just feel that sometimes the ones that post human-only elements with no backdrop, no scene, no props, no nothing...it takes away from some of the art that is released by Bryce artists at that certain time where a clogged up gallery can steal views from them. There is a beauty with Poser...but unless it's used to convey a certain scene within Bryce, shouldn't it head the direction of the Poser gallery where it can garner much more attention and accomplishment? I feel that some that do awesome Poser-only work and upload it to the Bryce gallery are only hurting themselves, and would help themselves out more if they used the Poser gallery. I know this message will probably get ignored, but it's just something that's been on my mind in a way and wanted to see what others may have thought. Once again...I'm not taking ANYTHING away from Poser artists...I enjoy a great human image when I see one...but if there isn't much Bryce at all involved...help yourself out and use the gallery made for that type of art. I promise, once (if) I learn some Poser, I won't be polluting your gallery with my bad figures...hehe. But just keep it in mind. I'm just posting to try to help both Poser and Bryce artists. Regards, MD PS...I hope this doesn't come across too strong, I just don't know any other way to fully explain how I feel on this topic. I'm not out to take Drac's spot in the prick department...hehe ;)
