hi, pal :)    No, no kidding. XSI is an infinite app, plus I had some troubles that took me away from 3D world for a long time. You add these two things together and, lo, I'm still learning :)

I don't know about other people... I'd say no, they don't want any real criticism, but it's only my opinion. The last image I posted, I asked for crits and I received them, mostly useful, some pointing at flaws I had already detected in my pic. So, it depends on who's asking? Maybe... maybe people who know me know also that I accept serious criticism without problems (and also with gratitude) and they don't fear to offend me stating boldly what sucks in my image(s).
