We have a beginner's gallery. Why don't we have a separate gallery or forum for the advanced artists....one that solicits highly critical feedback in order to produce the evolution of better 3D art. And those of us who don't pretend to be artists and don't care about artistic pretentions and don't have much interest in the opinions of the art critics and are just trying to have a good time and enjoy ourselves don't have to participate unless and until we are ready to evolve to that higher level? And those of us who are still learning can use the tools at hand, as we wish and without criticism because there will be an acknowledgement that as learners we have need of tools, while the advanced artists who have evolved beyond needing such aids can produce all their art from scratch without the use of existing models, textures, or props but instead create their own, and provide proof that they have originated every item themselves (maybe the advanced gallery could have a certification program). I guess you can still use the various software programs unless the requirement is all the artists have to learn programming...could make the gallery a little small, though. Just an idea. Might help us figure out who is the real artist and who is the poser.
