Are the character assassinations here really necessary here? It only shows your intellects aren't very high. The accusations on this thread go way beyond what should ever be allowed. I'm appalled the monitors are doing nothing about it. At least my artwork is my own, and not borrowed, or stolen pieces of textures, models, and ideas of someone else and then placed together and called "art." I'm new at Bryce 5, and learning a lot of things as the weeks go by. I enjoy intelligent conversation how to improve my work, and some people have been kind enough to offer advice, and encouragement. I have asked NO ONE to vote for my illustrations. Also, I had no idea there was even a "hot 20" list...and since finding out there is, I want no part of it. All artists here on Renderosity deserve the dignity of logical, and well-placed encouragement and constructive criticisms only. There is value even in the simple beginnings of a new artist. You people here on this thread seem to enjoy knocking people down with your lies, and criticizing the new work, even if they happen to do well. Your mean- spiritness and name-calling only shows your hard-heartedness and your lack of good communication skill. Just because somebody is doing it differently than you, or is newer than you to Renderosity doesn't mean they can't offer something to this community too. GROW UP!
