well, as i've told some of my close friends, i won't be posting any new renders for a while and i MAY or MAY NOT keep my account here active. it will all depend on the outcome of the final tweaking and ironing out. but for now i'm posting my new renders somewhere else.

about a couple of months ago, i joined another art gallery where most of my current renders are now displayed. i was suprised when joining this new site. compared to renderosity, it was complicated, hard to navigate and really not that impressed of their features. it took me two months to understand most of it but i still haven't adapted to it fully. so now, renderosity, my home base decided to "upgrade". the idea was perhaps enticing. when i heard about it i thought "cool, they need to do something about the lag". that was my only issue (if i have to name one) - that it took a while to view an image once you click the thumbnail and uploading an image sometimes was agony. the rest which worked so perfectly well i thought was not going to be changed/replaced. imagine my surprise when i learned that my home has become the clone of my second gallery. i'm sorry but i know you guys say we have a different look as deviantART but fact of the matter is, it has a look and feel of deviantART. might not be verbatim and we may have used a program solely made for renderosity but it is moulded from the same slab  - complicated and no longer user friendly.

what i'm trying to say is...i don't want to spend another 2 months trying to learn my way around what i used to call my home base. i have a job, two kids and with little free time i have i'd much rather spend doing things i consider relaxing. so good luck everyone...hope it works out for the better and that somehow there is a happy medium somewhere that everyone can be happy with.

cheers,
