This was my preditction when they announced the new standards. I stated then that the hot 20 would become nothing more then "naked Vicky with a sword in a temple" Seems I was right. Of course my other recommendation was completly ignored. I suggested we get away from the application aspect but rather go to a theme aspect. For example: This months theme is "Vicky in a temple" Here are our suggestions that fall into this catagory from various rendering engines. (list of artists would follow) Next months theme will be "Comical art" The month after would be "Abstract Art" Followed by "Landscapes" With a good mix of themes we would not only get a mix of rendering applications but also a mix of styles. It wouldn't limit itself to just the ultra realistic rendering but would allow for simple 2-d line work to be featured also.
