Quote - Waves to BlueEcho with both hands! Hello again!!

 

What I call the medium-poly Antonia is the standard one everyone uses. Because I agree, there is no high-poly version.

The problem with the what I call the "standard user" is that he belongs to the silent majority. I would so much wish that this majority speaks it's opinion when it comes to new figures and tools so that people get what they desires.

Just type V4 and polygons and you see what I mean. There are countless people who do not want such poly-heavy figures and that don't use it. These speak up and so they get what they desire, sooner or later. The galleries that accompany the stores are not a benchmark for what people want because not all people use 3d for fun, some do not post their works because they are either not allowed to (commercial artwork, advertising) or because they simply do not want their art being stolen. I found that many people buy my products and never show up somewhere - until they write me because of a question about a product and then I see that they are professional users who do book illustrations, advertising and so on.

But as said: This thread started four years ago and contains 393 sites. Many features people ask for now where discussed before and dropped because either no one said "I want it" or because people said "we want something else". There are, for instance, complaints about the mapping - and we discussed about it for weeks. No one beside the "hard core" showed up and said: I prefer this and that. Back then I felt frustrated about the lack of interest - now I know why.

Don't get me wrong: This has nothing to do with you, Esther. It has nothing to do with anybody who takes the time to follow this thread and speak up. It's frustration about the silent majority who takes, tests and says "Bah - thisandthat is not included." - and forgetting that this is a free community project that needs participation at least as a viewer and critiquer.

In my experience, critiques are often not very well received, and especially when they come from the "silent majority" who are unknown, and hence have no credibility in the content creating community.

However, we do speak with our wallets. And, to me, the results don't look too hard to interpret.
