Wow, I can't believe this discussion is still going on and that there are other posts in this forum on basically the same topic. I've been following along but have chosen to keep silent until now. Let me start by saying I've checked out your gallery czarnyrobert and you do have some excellent works. Even so I can't say I like every one of them but then that's just my opinion. Then again, my opinion probably doesn't matter much to you because I am a beginner, an amature with less than 6 months experience with Vue. Most of my images are probably the crap that your reffering to. (The link is to an image that I worked on for about 2 days and am very proud of. I'd be interested to see what your opinion is of it.) I'll admit I've posted some silly images, like the one I have since deleted of Emotia Guy riding a jet ski. It was a stupid render but I thought it was cute/funny and didn't really care what other people thought. I think that's what some people are forgetting here, some of us just post for the pure fun of it. Nothing more. We know our images aren't up to the professional level but we don't care either because we had fun making the image and want to share it with other people. Artists like yourself, czarnyrobert, are the people I would look to for help in making my images better. An experienced artist who can teach me the tricks of the trade, not bash my work because it's not up to professional standards. If I don't post my images then how can I learn??? Obviously, Renderosity has two different types of artists. The professional who is looking for a true ranking system and the novice/hobbiest/amature who just posts for the pure fun of it. Maybe the solution to all of this is a professional category where artists like czarnyrobert can post their work and leave the other categories to the rest of us amateurs. It would be interesting to see how many people actually post their pictures there :)
