Quote - I'm glad you take the "technical approach" because it's people like you that I go to first when I need to learn something about the technical side about Poser..  When I need to know something technical I'm always looking for BagginsBill's response or another technical person's response.  The first thing that I think is.  "hmmm that sounds technical" I better ask this question in the Renderosity forum because I need to know the technical answer to my problem and someone there knows.

You flatter me enormously by putting me in the same space as BB, when he and I both know there's a chasm of understanding between his knowledge and mine.

As far as the art side of things: I'm lost. My lovely business partner has so much more skill and sense for this than I do, on the order of point-something to seventy-five thousand or so. Roughly. You know her as HeRaZa. So, perhaps I focus on the technical side because a true sense of art eludes me. I see art a bit like the ability to perceive colours or to put notes together to make music. You got it or you don't.

The technical side by itself cannot ever hope to achieve anything enduring, anything with an emotional impact, because it's just technical. Art appeals, inspires, evokes emotion of some sort or fuels the imagination. I haven't put anything into my galleries that would generate any of those responses, and I don't intend to: I know my limitations.
