Exactly so. Who wants to have 300 pictures made over several years representing hundreds if not thousands of hours of toil which are good for nothing except printing postcards? Even if you don't plan to sell anything it is still pleasant to give away paintings to friends and family. And if the unbelievable happens that people begin to take an interest in your work and there is a demand, what a catastrophe if all this paintings are too small!

Absolutely !

Now, I'm not "putting on airs" or anything because I'm certainly a smal-time designer. I do "word of mouth" Photoshop work but I design for a small starup record production company. And Vue might be useful in generating something for use.

And I design for the US Government at the moment (retiring in a couple of years).

Personally, I don't have what it takes to become "big time" anyway--I'm not special. So worrying about "being discovered" isn't a concern...LOL. However, I might like to have some Vue-rendered "Kinkade-ish" landscapes on my wall some time wink.
