Quote - To the folks from CG's credit, making a model is tough. I do it at my job on a regular basis, and it's hard work. So I can understand they're thinking "Oh, it's just one from Column A and two from Column B".

Problem is, they, like us sometimes, confuse art with craft.

I agree with this having tried my hand at modeling with 3D max..  the program still tries my patience even after many hours of working with it...  but I will keep trying to learn it even if it takes years..   lol

Another thing I'm still trying to learn is after creating the model taking it into poser and adding the bones and so on to make it poseable...  a tedious process at best, but one that can have satisfying results when it does work...  

I have a lot of respect for those with excellent modeling skills, but also for the great texture artists, animators, etc..
