erm... why? the above pictures look exactly like what they are. game graphics. nothing more, nothing less. now, compare those to the artworks in the gallery. no contest. Veritas, there is no 'Make Art Button', there never will be. game engines will not provide this. you forget, that even in a game like the Sims, everything is scripted so it looks right everytime. try that with a 3D Art package.... the features you tout in quite a few posts, are ethier game engine only, 3D card only or dependant on features of a card that not everyone will have. at this time and for the forseeable future, gxf card features have no place in 3D artwork outside of games. it will take a major redesign of the AGP Bus to do this. (New MB time). right now, just look at the eye candy and calm down ok?
