@Torquinox, I understand what you're saying, and it was never my intention to criticize anybody...to each their own, for sure! At least the galleries are not dead, which is nice:-)

(Yeah, I never was a collector, always more of a user. If I'm missing something I go look for it or try to roll my own, with various success. The creative process is all that matters to me, when the render is done I lose interest and move on. We all have different motives.)

I didn't think you were criticizing anyone. It made me think, though. There was a guy doing some renders and playing a lot with lighting. He got good results and complained the renders looked like product promos. I thought the renders looked pretty good. Your comment touched on that idea. I think, How does one get beyond that? And it's true: We all have our own motives!

Interesting topic! And a good story:)
