I think it is reasonable that a potential customer expect that the preview will be representative of the product And I would respond that the preview messages we see here on Renderosity are an excellent representation of the product available. I dont understand the problems people have with the free site. The banners are not that intrusive -- yes, there are a lot of them, but, like the junk mail that shows up in my AOL account, I simply look past them and move on to the stuff I want. The navigation links are fairly straight-forward. And God knows, the materials provided for free are light years beyond some of the crap that shows up for sale here or at DAZ. If the intro pages bother you that much, then bookmark the free pages for both PW and FW so you can get back to them without any undue effort. The subscription previews can be viewed from the messages posted here. I mean... please, people. Look at the product. If you dont think its worth it, then I cant imagine how demanding you must be in real life. And indeed, there are gems to be found even at K-Mart. Just a thought.....
