i remember you, nick from c&d. and, i agree with what you're saying. i mostly lurk here, myself. free stuff does not seem tantalizing, but neither does the marketplace. this site has become a 3d kmart. i've taken up lightwave, and could never go back to poser...well, an occasional "doodle". i'm tired of seeing a few models posed over and over and over in the gallery. they have begun to all look the same.
