I realise that... that wasn't a dig at you, either. You have to realise that a lot of people are mostly newbies, and the gallery is / was mostly to either show what you can do, or to put it up there for people to critique..... in the last year, though, it has..... devolved. That has resulted in something that I've joined.... a critique group... At least, then, you don't get "Oooh, that's fantastic", when you know it's not.... conversely, you don't get people being critical, just to be critical.
  For myself, I see the large number of newbies as a very good sign. It means that there are more new people coming into Renderosity, and they're willing to put stuff up for critique. What's kinda sad, though, is when you see some of the older members slack it.
  I suppose, there ought to be a division between "old timers" and newbies, in the gallery... I really don't think they ever truly envisioned things as they are now. Lou.
