I always pray to god that before I can finish typing a comment on a silly argument like this, that the thread would be locked and or deleted entirly.. (which has happened thankfully)

The complaints that i'm seeing are that there are to many newbie images and not enough pros.. well Tjohn said it already for me, this place it packed with newbies, and of course they do improve, but not in a blink of an eye, and normally not without help.. so why complain about the newbie who can't do the work of a pro..
I'm still a newbie to this program, and i've been using it since bryce3d came out.. i'm a slow learner, i improve very slowly over time when it comes to these things (most of my art time is spent with enamel and acrylic paint) so should I stop making 3d art because i'm not making leaps and bounds in the pro direction? I'd rather stab a man in the eye then listen to something so stupid.

Have you ever notice that as people do improve they start to delete their older stuff that they themselves don't like.. as of now they are proud that managed to create something, when for so long they believed that they couldn't even draw a stick figure..

the stupidest thing i've read thus far, and one point that many have already adressed, is the assumption that if they aren't good at the program they must have stolen it... this is the most unheard of attack at people i've ever seen in my life. you can never say someone stole the program because they suck at it.. hell what if the people who make images that blow all of ours out of the water are the ones who stole it, so they can save a buck.. that comment was unfair and uncalled for, and seems to have been put in there for nothing more then a raise out of people (and it worked wonders)

Just remember, that because your a bryce user, some of those "friendly" lightwave uses think your just the same as those (extrealy slow learning) newbies you despise so much...

and now that i've vented.. the tiny bit of emtions that i've had stored up inside me.. i'll shut up now, before i get in trouble..
