Bazze ... part of the problem is the way your first post was worded. You said that even if it was "great" you would not vote for "A". I can see that if you have two images that are just "nice renders" and one is otherwise more creative than the other, or shows more modeling skill than the other, that additional creativity and skill should get B the vote over A. But if A were a "great" image ... then I personally think that there has to be some reason it would be considered great ... whether it's the lighting or the composition ... and whatever makes it great should be judged on it's own merits and not be brought down by the fact that it's 95% freebies. The jumping off point for most people, including me, was that statement ... not being twisted in the least. You said you would not vote for a great image that was mostly freebies. I understand that this is your personal opinion, but you asked for people's comments, and as noted above, it strikes me as a very bad way to go about judging a piece of work.
Could be worse, could be raining.
Bazze, it occurred to me, that by you expressing your opinion on the use of freebies/presents (and that would include models, mats, textures, sets, props, skies, terrains, or anything not specifically yours), that should 'you' -ever- need to use them in an image, by your own standards, that image could never be considered a 'great' or 'excellent' image, but only so-so...

I suppose ... although I would love to know how anyone here twisted what bazze said ... which was "when I see a contribution that consist mostly of freebies and presents then I don't vote for it (even if it might be great)." So, he doesn't vote for it even though it's great. That's a crummy way to judge something, and that is most certainly not "twisting" or "exaggerating" what he said. It's a direct quote. But, you are right, John, we do know that he should not be a judge of CG artwork.

I take it from what Sambucus said earlier that I am among those he suggests were giving Bazze a hard time, but I don't think I was, he asked for opinions and I gave him mine. I do agree that images that are loaded with oodles of freebies can sometimes be terrible, but that depends on who's hands and mind are creating the image. If an image stands out as a great piece of artwork, even if it does contain some freebies, then it is still a great piece of artwork and should be given the recognition it deserves. If anything I said was offensive Bazze please accept my apologies and know that I did not intend to offend. Happy rendering 8) Catlin
