Spike, don't know if I'm too late to suggest this: I don't know which of my pics you've selected for the DVD, but if you would like larger copies of them, let me know and can email them to you post-haste :)

I have replaced all the images that we could not use with new ones from the galleries, A few new artists and a few that already had images on it.... All set, now I just need to render the files out. I will start the render Monday AM. Thanks all We will let you know the status...

Awesome Spike. Can't wait!

Spike, you're da man!

I don't believe that a real artist and good person would have denied permission for their peers to have such a small amount of enjoyment. It indicates distrust of each one of us, and I for one think that they just held out to be mean and spiteful. That is a very selfish person...one I have no respect for whatsoever. Thank you, Spike, for handling this so well. You are amazing! Vivian (tresamie)

I don't belive the member in question did it out of spite or to be mean. I believe they had some personal concerns. Yet whatever, upward and onwards! Can't wait for everyone to see this DVD! AgentSmith

Yup, we just have to move on, It did hit me hard because of all the time I put into this project, but I am redoing it now and should have something ready for replication soon. When we first started the project, we had no idea that all the artists would want it, When we found this out, it changed the project.. So we had to re-ask for permission. This artist did not want her work out there in the first place and as it was only going to be shown at the tradeshow, that was fine. Then when we changed the scope of things, it was up to each artist... We have to respect each artist and follow what they want. I should have waited on the project in the first place, I just got all pumped up and wanted to get it to you all ASAP.. Next time we will get it right.... I am having a major computer issue and have to start with a clean harddrive. This will slow the project down a day or so, but it will still get done.

Cool! and thanks!

You have worked so hard on this Spike that I'm sure everyone will gratefully allow you all the time you need. Cheers 8) Catlin

...take all the time you need Spike... BUT HURRY UP! :P

YOU GO SPIKE!! Thanks so much!

How we doin?

Looks like the middle on Sept...

Do you have any idea of the cost yet Spike?

We are still trying to work a deal with them, We had to scrap the first run, so we are hoping that they will give us a deal on the second batch...

can't wait :) geo

I too am looking forward to the release of the DVD, and know that Spike has been deligent about responding to all of us here, in email and in messages...Spike, you deserve a round of applause! Bravo my friend.

Thanks, I can't wait for you all to get it... I still sit back and watch it from time to time... All the great art is what makes it so cool...

Well anything you want to use anything of mine in the future for project like this you are welcome to do so.

spike- I have a few more in my gallery you can use to help fill in- thanks :)

You can also use anything new in my gallery too, Spike, and thank you SOOOOOOO MUCH for all the hard work you have put into this. (: genny

Spike could you tell us how far along the road to release you are? My mom keeps asking me and the last time I spoke to her she accused me of winding her up over this, would you believe it! 8) Catlin

The new master is done and ready to go. Now I have to fit it into the budget to have it replicated... So far it's looking like mid Sept... (I hope)

What sort of copy run quantity are you looking to do, and/or is this just going to be a shipping charge for those of us that had artwork included on the DVD, and perhaps a minimal charge for those that want to purchase it?

We are not going to sell these in the market to anyone but the artists that are on the DVD.. We don't have permission to sell it to all artists, just the ones on the DVD.. I wish we did, because it would help keep the costs lower.

Thank you so much spike for giving us this opertunity and can't wait to get mine :O)

"We don't have permission to sell it to all artists, just the ones on the DVD.." well you got mine :) geo

Too bad majority rules doesn't apply. I imagine that 98% of us approve of selling it to all. I certainly approve.

Maybe if we do this again it can have the option of allowing sales to one and all. 8)

Yes, the next DVD will be done with the full intent to do just that. It will be "The best of Renderosity 2003"...

Yipee! Can I get some work on that one too please.............pretty please 8) Catlin

I'd love to have some work on that "The best of Renderosity 2003" DVD too :)

Update, I have just been given the "Ok" to send out the master for replication. So, it should be done in 8-10 (working)days... Soon my friends, Soon......

Yea!!

Yipee!! :)

And there was much rejoicing all over the world................8)

((((HUGS))))) Spike :)

YAY!!!
