aabrownjr : To me renderosity has become little more than a cg porn site. Don't be a part of the problem, be a part of the solution. Remember 3d is an art so lets see some artwork. With poser many of the images look so similar because every one is using the same model your job as an artist is to differentiate your work and 9 times out of 10 that means going to Photoshop and doing a lot of touchups. Ok this was posted on an image i looked at in the poser gallery and the shear arrogance of it got my back up. Far as i see it the problems renderosity has have more to do with arrogant, self righteous over thinkers than people who are trying to learn the tricks of creating with poser. Our JOB is to create. It is not up to anyone here or anywhere else to tell us what we should or should not create. Art is in the eyes of the artist not the viewer. If the viewer happens to be pleased by what he or she sees than thats a bonus for the artist, if the viewer is displeased with what he or she sees than by all means they have the right to voice and opinion and offer critisism. What the viewer does not have the right to do is instruct the artist on how to think and what to create. It is arrogant to assume the role if instructor and tell someone what they should be creating and especially that what they have done isn't art. That's just my 2 cents worth.
