AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a lengthy response and I lost it before I could post reply.  Time for a short verstion:

-I don't blame BB, I blame the merchants who don't listen to him.  Plus what his main focus is is getting people on the far side of the uncanny valley, which is a noble goal, but if you want stylized his advice will have to be modified.

-esterau... Nah!   I am still willing to buy the right items, I just can't find the right items.

-scanmead, I've only worked with V4 so I don't know if that's the problem or not.

-Sharen, you have a point about how 3D graphics are more commonplace and it's hard to find new things to do, but there's an old adage about their being nothing new under the sun.  I think there are still a lot of things that can be redone, spruced up, or generally improved.

-Robyn, yeah what sells in the marketplace is a limiting factor to new items.  However I've seen a lot of things that are well done but I don't like the style or can't justify getting it.  For example if there's a character in the marketplace who has a pretty face but she comes with tattoos I'm not going to get that character; for the most part I find ink ugly and I'm not going to pay for that.

-Laurie, I am trying to model my own things (I've done a few swords) however I work at a snails pace so relying on my own work would end up with a number of nude vicky renders.

-Vestman,  sometimes I go back into old images and tweak the lighting or what not but I haven't tried to redo something altogether.

WARK!
