Ok, I am one who doesn't post to forums, and very rarely do I comment on any image. I just kind of cruise around the different galleries looking at all the wonderful art this site has to offer. Now comes the gripe. The Poser Hot 20. Would someone PLEASE explain THAT to me???? I see images in there from the same artists over and over again. Doesn't matter if they are worthy, it just seems if the right name is on the image, POOF, it's Hot 20. I saw an image in there tonight with a mere 11 comments, and yet it had 21 votes. Sorry folks, but that simply does NOT add up. Some examples: http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=946948&Start=1&Artist=divishow&ByArtist=Yes This image did NOT make the Hot 20. Ok, so you purists will say it's because it was a base Poser image that had been painted over with a paint program. Ok, now I ask you to explain this: http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=945811&Hot=Y&Sectionid=1 Excellent image, but rendered in Bryce. Then we have this: http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=945772&Hot=Y&Sectionid=1 Exceptional and creative work. Made the Hot 20 at literally last place. It is Number 20. Now we have this: http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=943080&Hot=Y&Sectionid=1 That one is listed at Number 7. Sorry folks, but I just don't get it. And I am not trying to offend any of the linked artists here. I just want someone to explain to me why great art doesn't make it into the Poser Hot 20 and at best, mediocre art does?? I think I have one idea. I think Hot 20 ANYTHING is nothing more than a popularity contest. How many friends do you have who will vote. Doesn't matter if you are worthy or not, just as long as you are either popular enough or have enough friends. My humble opinion? GET RID OF HOT 20's!!!! Come on people, they have become nothing more than a sick joke!! Doesn't take any talent to get in there....just takes knowing or kissing up to enough people!!! Ok, I will climb down off my soap box now. I just felt the need to vent tonight and this whole Hot 20 thing has me frothing at the mouth. If you agree, fine, if you don't, also fine. But lets get some input here on how to fix this problem!!
