Quote - Every one tries to tie this arguement into the filming industry, okay next time you see a CG Movie and those credits go screaming by, try to name 3 modelers 10 minutes later... it wont happen, however try to remember the name of the production agency or the director or producer.  Chances are you will.  They are the one that make it all happen.  Sure they use a library of assets but those assests were created from scratch.  These are guys that work in teams for those agencies, thats different, that agencies name becomes your own.  One of the largest reasons for this thread was to help some of these artists, and if those targeted read this they will understand.  They will get it.  They are the one who will have that feeling, that "I wish I could do more", they are the one that when they show a Peice to their work to friends or family they hate the fact that they have to say...  "I did it in poser".  They want to make their own characters.  Make your own characters, build your own library.  Earn that sense of accomplishment.  Dont piggy back off of someone else.

Guess what... Not everyone has the same goals and aspirations as you. That doesn't mean that the're not worthy, and certainly shouldn't be minimized and depreciated the way you do. I mean, with what I do, I could easily find an angle to knock what you do...  It would just make me look like I have a chip on my shoulder, like your knocking down of other people is making you look.

You know, I just posted in 'jobs' forum that I'm looking for someone with certain modelling skill, to hire them for a full time position, which is the whole reason I'm taling a look in the modelling forum. Looking at your attitude about other people's efforts and lack of the ability to see value in more then one point of view, I probably wouldn't get to a point of reviewing your qualifications. I would me thnking, oh my, even a toned down version of that kind of an attitude would be a pain to work with.
Oh, and we pay a lot better then the filming industry sweatshops where youngster modellers whom want an 'in' are getting to be a dime a dozen.
