Actually...I'm lousy at 3d. I would hope to find, somewhere, an environment where it is taken for granted that there is a desire to learn and improve. I've been to CG whatever, and that's a cut-throat, dismissive, unhelpful environment. And I was just in chat today with several people sharing images and WiPs for long, in-depth discussion on where they hoped to go with it and what might help them get there. And...please make your assumptions about someone else. Please give me the credit of having the same open-mindedness and acceptance you keep claiming as your own.
