I see my words are being taken far beyond my actual intent. Reality does NOT equal art.

No heat from me.

 I don't own the high end programs- such as Vray or Maxwell render that would allow closer approaches to reality.

My disapointment is related to getting realitively fewer comments- critical invited- after spending many hours tweaking, adjusting. Perhaps I am posting in the wrong place.

 

 My snoot is not as far up as you might think- I did not mean to offend you- or anyone else for that matter.I made no critical comments on ANY of the new renderers work. It would serve no purpose.  My "art" is far from great or sublime- although I see some people's who are much closer than mine.

 

 Thanks for the criticism, cliched they are-but they are not glamour renders anyway-but WIP characters.

 

 I was asking for constructive critiques "not perfect". I HOPE it does not look like moonlight! It is supposed to be end of sunset. Not glamour renders- character in progress pics. Creating my own skin textures, making my own morphs, etc.

ART is subjective. If people want to make and praise flat renders- that is fine. Encouragement in ALWAYS good. Most of my renders are just for fun- in fact ALL of them are just for fun. I am a hobbyist-not a professional artist, 3D or otherwise.

 

 

 

Quote - There's plemty of 'art' in galleries around the world that I look at and think is crap. The millions that it is worth would say that my opinion is just that. To crticise others work such as you have makes you look a bit of a tool in my book, that's just my opinion though of course... Who the hell are you to pass judgement publicly on others work, work which is to many here just a hobby and past time that we don't profess to being experts at, we just enjoy it. Btw, the lighting on your last render looks pretty crap to me and nothing like moonlight at all. And your glamour photography looks full of cliches and nothing new... Again, just my opinion though...
