No, no one wins money for being in the hot 20. I see what I was trying to explain is getting lost in a bunvh of excuses on why its ok for Renderosity to be a popularity contest. I see this site as a refridgerator door where people can post whatever pictures they can. Just because you made a picture doesnt mean you should post it. Alot of artists know that you only show your best work. I find it funny that Renderosity has a forum for people looking for work. Ive been told by a few people that they would never come here to look for people, not because no ones good, but because the good stuff is hard to find. Im done with this, I just urge everyone to try and become better artists. Remember that the worst critiques are often the ones you learn the most from, and a nice "wow, what a cool pic, youre my best friend" comment doesnt do anything. Ive seen people move to othe art sites (albeit slowly) because they knoe exactly what I mean. The thing that keeps Renderosity alive (it's popularity contest) will be its demise because people can only take so much. People that have the authority on this site, mods or admins or whoever should think about the quality and quanity of work here. Just a thought.
