Every commercial 3D package does it with separate programs,
even though it appears transparently to the user.  
The "no post-process" rule looks now ridiculous.  It was intended
to avoid abuse of after-effects, but the literal rule isn't anymore
suited to that.  We could let that rule down as well.  Anyway,
no amount of effects can turn a bad image into a good one, and
it rather tends to destroy it.  There's an excellent example
of that problem in the "sea" images.

So, let's post-process all the way !  It doesn't matter anymore !
