davidm I looked at your webpage nice. I also looked at your gallery; I found both had a nice clean crisp 80 commercialism look. I don't know if this is intentonal or not but it looks good and creates a nice unique 3D style.. Sadly many 3D artist, are production minded and don't take the time to also develop a Style beyond subject matter. I like both your page and gallery. (I can see a style developing in my work, but I am just not there yet. My 2D work has a vary stong sence of Style.) I also agree that many people over look the importance of a good Ground Texture maybe I will post some work that I had fun with on the ground textures. I have to ask what is Illusion? Is it a software package for SFX(or do you just mean that; illusion. Damn I love to animate, but never can think of any thing to animate. You are obviously a creative fellow. Well I bookmarked your page in hopes of checking out your animations your thumnails look great... Wow, Inspire, Mimic, Poser Plus you have some nice toys..
