Postwork Rant

Description

I always find it odd that some 3D artists seem to take pride in not doing any postwork. There are a few people who light incredibly well and produce solid images, but I don't think there's a professional photographer or 3D artist who leaves their images untouched (outside of journalism). And if you're not perfect with your 3D lighting, why are you leaving your image alone? While this only required some small touch ups (I deemphasized the peach fuzz on the left and added some fake SSS to her ear), the total postwork time was under 45 minutes. Much less time than spent setting up the shot.

Wow! What an interesting discussion. 

One interesting argument that I have seen bandied about in the Daz Forum is that some people would like to be able to tell what is possible with just Daz Studio. I think some people get frustrated when they see an image that they like, and are unable to get similar results with a pure render. 

I think a problem is that postwork can cover a broad range of things. Some people paint over the entire render and just use it for reference, some people only use filters, some people only add sigs, etc.
