One of my images got selected by DAZ 3D to be part of the official DAZ Studio art book. Of course I was over the moon when I found out, but I just had to be a masochist and go to the DAZ forum to read people's reactions. Sheesh some people can be real sore losers.
According to the rules, there shouldn't be any postwork (except for colour corrections and layering of D|S renders), and I didn't do anything to alter my image in Photosop. Then I placed my signature. I've double-checked, nay, triple-checked the rules and there was nothing mentioned about not putting signatures. Some people though interpret the no-postwork rule to also include a no-signature rule because you have to use a graphics program to put your signature. Therefore my work should be disqualified.
What a bunch of nonsense. I thought postwork meant altering an image so it would look differently from the original base render. How would a signature (and a little one on the lower corner at that) alter an image so much that it's considered postwork? Bullshit. Thank goodness it's up to DAZ and not these whiners and moaners to decide what to include in the artbook.
