Im speechless, or should that be typeless? I really am, Im writing this offline on a laptop as the desktops rendering at the mo so Ive the whole white screen of MS Word in front of me, and I cant find the words to express my utter surprise and feeling of humbleness at winning this monthly challenge. If youll all excuse what may turn out to be a lengthy post, Ill try to put some words to my feelings. I came to Vue from Poser, as I suppose quite a few of you did, mainly it has to be said for the massively improved render sizes I could get. It was only then that I found just how incredible a program it was, and when I saw some of the works of the people in and around this forum in the various galleries and competitions I was hooked. I wanted to be able to do the types of scenes and artwork that we all know Vue to be capable of, and so I set out hunting, downloading and reading all the tutorials I could find so I could learn the skills that you all possess. I learnt about Alpha planes and vegetation, applying textures and different lighting, and all manner of other (at times strange and weird) stuff, all from the folks in and around this forum. So it is, as I said, a kind of humbleness that experiencing right now. The knowledge that without you people, both here in the Vue forum and Renderosity at large, I wouldnt have had the skill, confidence and feeling of community that allowed me to enter this challenge. So it is to you folks that I have to thank for this win, not just the people who entered this month, and there were some very good entries, not only for the people who voted for my work, thank you all, but to all the people who enter into the community that is the Vue forum day after day, providing inspiration, help and encouragement to all those around them. It is, I suppose, an often said remark when accepting an award but it truly is you folks who are as deserving this award as I. Finally, due to work constraints, (I work night shifts) Im not able to contribute as fully as Id like to this forum the cost of the phone during the day is prohibitive. But in the next couple of weeks Ill be ADSLd so Ill be able to access the net when Im at home during the day. So youll all see a lot more of me soon, ;) Finally 2, I couldnt post a message like this without mentioning Guitta, whose help and moderation in this forum is, Im sure, welcomed and appreciated by all. Thank You. Oh.. and Guitta, Ill be in touch with the May challenge as soon as I finish work tomorrow morning, as Sherlock Holmes once said this is a three pipe problem so itll be around 3ish in the morning rosity time.
