Ditto for me, too !!!

Nice casual scene.

Well...all I have to say is that I have gotten to know Niagara Falls pretty well with the number of pictures I have viewed lately on this site! Maybe its time to switch to a desert scene now...OK I am just kidding and having fun with this subject. lol. Personally I think waterfall scenes are great and beautiful to admire. Something about all that splashing water that puts your mind in a somewhat hypnotic state of being. But in all honesty I think the images of Niagara Falls shared on this site recently, were a bit too much for many here. I do enjoy the images that Maddie is viewing above on the monitor...I think they are quite beautiful.

As someone who only uploads one animation once every two or three months, I just wanted you to know that soon (a few months from now) I will be uploading a waterfall scene using actual water particles that I did using Poser and 3dsMax for a ten second waterfall scene within an animation I am working on. This is a waterfall that swallowed 250 Gigabites from my hardrive just to simulate the millions of particles required to do the 300 frame simulation. I can only hope that this waterfall scene that I am working on, is well received when I share it later on.

The unfortunate thing about the work we share with everyone is that the uploads we post to this site will most likely be buried in an avalanche of images and not be seen on the day shared. Unfortunately once an image is posted, it has such a short life on this site...sometimes less than a day. Its not much time for many to view, as most persons don't come here everyday. I like this site and the many wonderful and talented artists here whose work I enjoy viewing...many have now left and are no longer active as they once were for many reasons. Lets hope that artists like you Rod, stick around to make this site as great as it once was my friend! :-)

Oh, no worries.. I'll be here for the long haul.. I do have to finish the TNA story after all... LOL

My biggest peeve isn't really the content, it's just when someone posts 30 images in a day, it - as you noted - quickly buries the work of those of us that are only able to upload one or two images a week - or a month. And I'm looking very forward to your animation!

Very lovely and sexy Maddie. Maybe a good neck and shoulder rub would relax her some. Nicely done render.

I wonder sometimes if those who upload so many created contents every day are human or a machine. lol Although many are fantastic.

The thing about animation is it could take many hours to create and even many more hours to render. It is the rendering that takes forever. Some of my animations have taken days to render. They are rendered in segments. One segment could take 17hrs and another 5hrs and another 10hrs etc. then finally merged together to complete the finale animation. The finale animation could be 60 to 90 seconds when done. The longest animation I have done in Poser was 4:07 and took about three weeks to complete. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zlEcFqlD8s

I have many completed static renders, but I may take days, weeks or months to even post them.

Exactly! And seeing all those weeks / months of work shoved to the bottom - and off the gallery start page by someone uploading 30 images a day (or more) would be most discouraging. Especially when it's just 30 views of the same thing, just from different angles.

That animation is still amazing!

I agree with you Rod, thanks for looking.

Glad i don't have this person on my fave list, and have not searched the regular galleries. I just comment on my friends works. Your character sure shows the boredom of so many waterfalls. Excellent expressional work my friend.

so many things that interfere with everyday life, but the gallery here allows me to escape. wonderful work Steve

I feel her pain. And yours.

Very beautiful! Great image here and I love all the details. A job well done my dear friend 👍🙋‍♂️

Really neat scene with rich detail.

yeah, posting all the same type of images so close together just makes me not look at any of them.
I agree with you, and your model. good job of depicting your frustration, here. well done.

Expressive scene !

Niagra falls is impressive but multiple views? Not on your nelly! Lovely work Rod! I'm with you all the way!

Breathtaking gorgeous character, outstanding glamorous bombshell, wonderful ccomposition, great lighting, brilliant awesome render.
Magnificent Masterpiece of Finest Arts. I love it, you bet I love it!

Information overload !!!!

I know, I"m not supposed to be commenting---and I greatly appreciate your concern and encouragement to rest!---but if I do a few galleries a day, I'll be fine. First, I love the layout of the piece---how Maddie is on a similar angle as the screen, only going the other way: They balance each other out. And your usual expert way with clothing, pose, etc. (Even the crossed swords on her pocket is a cool accent, although I image they aren't the first thing people look at!) The light's all behind and in the center. I've noticed how you manage to do scenes with muted light, yet get lots of clarity regardless. (Steve/eekdog's another wizard with darkness. You guys have high iso eyeballs, that's all...)

I also like the images on your screen---same waterfall I assume. As I've said before, I fully sympathize with your feelings about this, and I agree that the flood of images by one person effects us all. I read the comments, and I'm glad others agree with you. Like a bunch of you have said, you work a long time on something, and then get knocked off the screen by someone who's posting 30 pieces off the top of their head...there should be separate pages for that, so they can post their marathons, and the rest of us can do our single or double shots without being supplatned. (Jesus, I feel peculiar when I post 3!) But your image is really finely done, Rod; and, btw, I had a hard drive in the 90s the size of the computer in your image: It held a Gigabyte! A lousy Gigabyte! And that baby cost like 2 grand, and it was the cat's meow! (I don't know why I'm telling YOU this, you probably BUILT the damned thing! But I thought it was a mildly entertaining anecdote...Maybe not. But my POINT is: Pretty soon we'll buy a Chicklet that'll hold 400 google-bytes, and you'll be able to store most of the northern hemisphere in it...) I appreciate that you share many quality issues with us, keeping us aware and thinking. And btw: All my best to Mike. I hope he's ok...from Steve's gallery, it looks like he might be suffering...I genuinely hope not...

Thanks so much, Mark! Your comments are always full of insight, and honestly, you see stuff that I didn't even think about (consciously, anyway) when I created the image. And that is always wonderful because I learn from it! I love it!

Yeah, when I think about the days when I thought I was "uptown" because I had a couple external 5-1/4 inch drives for floppy disks that held a couple megabytes, and now you can get 2 TERRAbytes on something the size of a postage stamp, it still blows my mind.

And it was a real b***h getting that small hadron collider in the basement packed into 30 - 40 boxes... 🤣 We gonna need a BIG apartment!

Great image, and a point worth making. The flooding of the gallery means I seldom go and browse new art, and rely more on the bots and notifications from galleries I follow; this is ultimately doing a disservice to many artists both old and new... I don't think it's a coincidence that the works I post on DA get approximately 5 times as many views in a much shorter time period...

My point exactly, Joe! I mean seriously, how many of the same photo of Skylon Tower do we need to see EVERY day? 🙄

Well, i only come too see some members most of the time i'm not pushing the 'new' button.

I can really sympathize with you, Rod! I used to browse the galleries on a regular basis and comment on the works that jumped into my eyes, but I fell back and am way behind now, and due to the picture floods, I expect to have missed some great works. What a bummer…

Same as you all discussed in the forum: I personally, as some one who posts a few pictures every few months, because every posted work goes to many hours of iterations, before I feel content enough to post it, feel a bit discuraged by seeing them disappear from the first three pages of the Galleries it a finger snipp. This possibly explains why they get less and lesser comments (not, that I'm hunting for comments, but honest and constructive critics, is always a good chance to improve and in a way is uplifting too)?

Sexy girl! Love her monitor!

Cool image. Hope the flood has been stopped

It's cool now.. We damned it... 😂🤣

I also read the forum thread and totally agree with the sentiments of those who are frustrated by gallery flooders -- esp. when they're photographs! There are plenty of other places to share photos, but nowhere else to share art made in Poser (unless of course it's R-rated).

I like many of the suggestions made thus far: adding the ability to block a user so their stuff doesn't show up anywhere in your Renderosity experience; changing the upload limit to 5 per day (or offering reward points only for the first 5 images posted per day); and so on.

I'd love to see a way for new users to fill their own galleries without having all those images appear in the "New Art" or other gallery feeds. And I'd also love a way to block whole gallery categories, like Photography (or, at the very least, prevent those categories from showing on the "New Art" feed). But I really this isn't the most productive place to post these thoughts. If enough of us post suggestions in the appropriate forum, maybe they'll get some traction!

I love Maddie's expression of frustration, which we all share!!

I really don't mind photos as such (I'm a photographer myself), but 10 - 30 photos of the same thing from a few different angles is just...... unnecessary. Yes, Niagra Falls is a cool place, BUT.... 80, 90, or 100+ photos of it (I've lost track - it's been weeks of uploads) is just over the top. Same with days and days of the same DAZ or Poser renders of the same figure in similar poses with only slight changes. Some of us do well to get one or two images posted a week - or month. Watching them get shoved off the bottom of the 'New Art' page in an hour by someone flooding gets discouraging in a hurry. Yes, visit that forum linked above.
