I noticed the Artifacts 2 Hornet used states there are .CR2s, so yes, but the original Artifacts set only lists .DUF files, though at the bottom there's the line under Notes that states there's 1 Poser Core Installer, so not sure. Oh and Planet Edesa mentions .CR2 files as well, so I would assume he's still supporting Poser.
It is not a bad thing to do postwork.It is nice. I also do post work on my renders. I don't think is a bad thing doing post work like some people think.
It is no shame indeed to do some adjusting. No matter how advance Poser and DS is, even with all the good lighting, tonemapping, and postrender processing within the program, most renders still lack the 'pop' and 'vibrance' Postwork can add that 'pop' that stands out.It is a point of pride when you do manage to get everything in render. but there's no shame in adjusting the curves or layers or exposure. People might as well sneer at needing to resize things.
And some things need to be done in layers and composited in post just to get all of the characters into the scene.
I think the Rendo staff hates me. I've had staff picks in the past, but the newer staff removed 3 of my images last year and banned me for 3 days. I guess they've changed their TOS recently. Anyhoo, I still get more reactions, views and comments at DA than any other places. I find Rendo is more poser centric, Daz (they broke their gallery atm). and DA is just 'chaotic with their new eclipse.
First render for the year
