Well that's sort of my point. There is more than enough to do here. A person can't possibly track all the images and keep up with the poser, Bryce, Vue, tarragon, etc. forums and chats. I do read posts and comment. I usually read gallery comments and vote but when 64 people have already said hobbit is great I don't usually leave a 65th "Congratulations, excellent." I think the question that nobody has asked yet is if all these people know each other and vote for each other's work where are they communicating with each other? It's possible they forum at planit 3D and just gallery here, but it seems like an awfully long commute. I'll be the first to admit, a lot of it is a popularity contest. You people talk to me and when I see an image posted with your names in the gallery and it has a crappy thumbnail I still look at the image. I may not vote, but it gives you a slight edge over the wallflowers. I know Drac or AgentSmith or tjohn for that matter more for what they say in the forums than for their prolific renders. Some entries into the hot 20 are like watching a movie with the sound off. I know they're there I just can't figure out how. I could accept competence or a popularity contest. I don't see any communication between these people other than when they post comments in each other's galleries.
