You know, a few years back there was a group of Bryce artists who were very, very good. Unfortunately, they knew how good they were, and decided they were, in fact, too good for the likes of this forum or gallery, and left to form their own elite little spot. Now no one sees their work, no one gains from their expertise, and only a few people remember who they were. Look at it this way: the crappier most of the renders in the Gallery are, the better yours will look.

It's not limited to 'low end' platforms, either. People manage to scrape up the money, mooch, or otherwise obtain some pretty pricey ones, and post the most unimaginable dreck.

I hate to say it, but 3DCommune was a great place to learn. All levels posted in the same Bryce Gallery, and the criticism there was made in such a way that toes remained unbruised, advice was heeded, and people actually improved.
