Do artists pay to have there stuff hang on a wall in a upscale gallaery? No. Do musicians pay to have ther music played on a radio? No. I'm a new artist here and it disturbs me greatly that you want Renderosity to be a subsciption members only club. If you think your art is so great then why not set up your own website? The idea of this site is to help those folks like myself to enjoy some feedback and get tips to improve our work. Renderosity should stay free. Period!
