Quote - I'm sorry, but anyone who criticizes you (which your responses are 99% shader/lighting/technical related) have no idea what you have proven, time and time again, on your ability for understanding and implimenting real things and solutions for Poser artists.  You have single handedly been someone that is relied upon for understanding the inner workings of Poser and it's material room and lighting.

I for one, would be honored to have my work critiqued in a technical aspect that you can do.  Some of us, like myself, are just winging it and trying to learn on the fly.

Hehe. Good. Well not everyone (or web site) has that attitude. After Daz opened a Poser forum on their site, I started giving advice. Yes some of it was contradicting things others had read or done. Nothing was nasty, and all of it was totally accurate technical material. None of it was in gallery comments - just forum threads.

I got a note from a mod asking me to be more positive. In other words, don't tell people how to improve unless you associate the comment with praise - or something - I never did figure out what they wanted from me.

I don't have time to be somebody's personal coach and life guide. I just tell you what you did wrong and how to do it the right way.

For this reason, I reverse banned Daz forums - they have lost the benefit of my commentary until February. I will, at that time, consider lifting my ban if I see something other than mindless self congratulation in their forum.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
