I agree with EricofSD and especially with Carolly's comments, but I have to take issue with one aspect of this discussion. Eric said, 'The commentor has no gallery of his own' and Fillingin said, 'What amazes me about commentors of that type is that they are usually made by people who have no art of there own posted online' Now, I've seen this argument used time and time again in this type of thread. The theory goes like this. "This person has no art in sight, therefore has no right to comment on anyone else's art" Bulls**t! Plain and simple! I don't have a single render posted here. I never make scenes or render them in poser. I make models instead. But I'm a photographer and deal on a daily basis with issues like lighting, composition and content. So who's gonna tell me I have no right to comment on images I see here? I agree wholeheartedly that negative comments, like the one being discussed here, are unwelcome and unhelpful (to say the least), but don't tell me you need a gallery before you can comment at Renderosity. For all you know, the person commenting could be a painter or sculptor who spends all their time doing that, and has no interest in making images in poser. mac PS Carolly - Dali's 'crucixion', 'Christ of St John on the Cross', hangs in the Art Gallery in Glasgow, Scotland (my home town), and I can guarantee that standing in front of it is an awe-inspiring experience!
