Hi kixum, I check on the forum no more then a couple of times per week (not because I don't want to) but I can tell the Carrara's users here on Renderosity help us a lot answering the questions (I don't thing the moderator have to answer all the questions) I think the moderator should answer if nobody does it. The back room can be usefull if we ( the ones who isn't here often) can have valiable material extracted from the forum, like tips to solve some unusual problems (Ex: If you have some boxy artifacts using GI rendering mode and light "bleeding" on your rendering try to turn interpolation off) I don't know anything about the resource CD. Maybe it's time to you to tell us the importance of it. I love the contests! I'll work on my entry on the hollidays! I was wainting all week for this scheduled chat but my daughter (4 mounths old) get a cold and I just had time to log in around 1:00 AM. My vote is to have chat session scheduled on a regular basis. My sugestion is to have a link Carrara gallery-Forum. Every single image posted on Carrara Gallery should have a post here on the forum were the artist will be open for question about the technics and tips used on the rendering.( I notice that people use to ask question on the comments) I'm very happy about our forum and I hop we'll chat soon.
