I agree with Sacada.

When I first started using VUE 4 about two years ago, I posted some first pictures that (at the time), I though were fabulous. Looking at them now, they stink! But by constuctive criticism and helpfull tips left by others, as well as READING the manual, I hope I have improved. I am lucky enough to have ACTUALLY sold some poster prints of my work and I use my gallery here for show.

I have not posted in awhile, as I have been to busy to put a good picture together and also waiting on my copy V5I to incorporate some of the new features.

I feel some VUE 4 or VUE 5 users may seem intimidated by the new renders and ecosystems. They shouldn't. You can paint a good picture using two brushes or twenty. Same with software. Also, lets face it. VUE is a LANDSCAPE product first and foremost. I use models only to enhance a landscape or further it's mood. I'm not big into Poser models (except animals) as their best human models still look like barbie dolls to me. Just my opinion. No offense.

Anyone should post anything they wish in these forums. Some of the best art here I've seen never made the so called "Hot 20".

There are many good artists here, as well as beginners and those who do it for fun, and as a hobby. Sure, I would like the voting system cleaned up or done away with and I would like everyone viewing a picture to comment on it if requested to do so. Constructive criticism is always welcome, not mean sprited, or rude.

In any case, What's art to one , is junk to another. Thats to be expected. If you enjoy the picture, post it! But it does take practice and tutorials, and help to be a really good artist. And their are many good artist here who are really happy to help.
