CG Society is far too commercial. Well commercial can be both positive and negative but in this sense I mean negative.

Or am I the only one who doesn't like the 3D animation plastified translucent look? Animation is not the only thing in film business. Trying to pass of 3D figures as real persons (or horror mix 3D figures with real actors!) is bound to failure and is only looking creepy.

No I reject both being a hobbyist and a cartoon illustrator. I want to be a real artist, equaling or preferably surpassing the old masters. If stills were enough for Rembrandt it is enough for me. I enjoy more a picture of a painting master than any new product from Pixar.

Elmer Diktonius, the great Finnish writer and poet has said, "it is from todays anomalies tomorrows art will emerge".

Tomorrows new artist will more probably come from places like Renderosity, where you are given ample place to experiment and play. And not from the rigid commercial animated trash.

Unfortunately my willingness to take in more alien creatures and space ships is limited. CGS is not the only ones who can be snobbish.
