Criticism doesn't have to be negative. Feedback can always include, "the way you set the lights to create those subtle shadows really enhance the mood of the piece" tells an artists that they are on the right track with lighting. When did we get the idea that feedback has to be negative? Postive reinforcement of what is being done right can be equally helpful, so the person knows what they are doing right. No one was ever harmed by being told they are doing something right. It's being hammered on for always being wrong that causes the problems. I like the idea of a WIP forum. The galleries are already set up for feedback, which the artist can already turn on or off, but the Works in Progress can get buried...and I think a person working primarily in Poser could learn a lot about lighting from a person working primarily in Bryce and Vue. 3D art isn't one or the other...it's all tools put together that create a graphic. And, as an aside, I find modeling tedious and frustrating. It would be years before I can model my own stuff to use in graphics. I'll have quit the whole thing before I ever get to that point. Oh well.
