William: "I don't go out much" Well, there's the first clue. It's one thing to enjoy this stuff as a hobby or as an avocation. It's quite another when it so takes over your life that you can't distinguish RL from online life. William: "Furthermore, your lack of items suggest that you do not know the blood sweat and tears that go into trying to create something for poser." I had no idea that that was the barometer for having a say on the boards. Thanks for enlightening me. I'm sure all of us are so very glad to have that little matter cleared up. Nevertheless, don't worry, I'll be posting my own work soon enough, when I feel the work is ready for that kind of presentation. And I'll be happy to let you know personally when I do. William: "I might be completely immersed in inner peace" Based on your posts, I sorta doubt it, but anyway... William: "So who's to judge? YOU???" You know, if it waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck, chances are, it's a duck. William: "What do YOU do that is so bloody important that you have this so-called "Life"?" I had no idea my life (or my work) would hold such fascination for you. But since you asked: When not working as a professional set designer (which means a lot of travel, something I enjoy, to places as varied as little hamlets in southwest Spain to New York City), I not only work on my skills in four or five 3D programs but maintain a real life outside the computer as well. I'm happily involved with someone I can't imagine living without, occasionally ride in the local rodeo circuit in rough stock events, go out for the odd karaoke night with friends -- in general, William, things that probably don't appeal to you very much... and that's okay with me. We all make our own choices in life, and we all wind up taking personal responsibility for those choices. So when you come in here and tell everyone how insulted you are by the image at the top of the page, work that you have no stake in nor were you personally involved in its creation, don't be surprised if someone takes you to task for your egocentricity. The world does not revolve around you and your work, and I doubt anyone here feels that he or she has to clear what they do with you before posting it to the boards. I know, it's a cruel world sometimes.
