I am greatful for your support. I am still trying to restore my web site. However,, the owner's of the server aren't responding to email either, so something bad must have happened.
I'm not the only one gets depressed when artists don't appreciate free stuff. There's a definite heavy bias on some sites towards commercial models.which is why it just isn't worth making stuff any more. Ironically though when one takes the trouble to thank some commercial modellers they don't seem to have any desire to respond either. Next time I'll post my news on 3Dcommune where people value all contributions, however small or insignificant. It says a lot about 3D art that my site stats read tens of thousands of downloads and not a word from anyone! You bet modelers get discouraged. Same with designing card models, a few nice people support the modeller but thousands couldn't care less.
If you think I'm being unreasonable, ok, you try offering or selling stuff and see what happens.
Yes, I'm having a dissapointing day!
