Colette, that is awesome! I wish I'd thought of that! Yes, draculaz, critique mine too!

I remember you now. In fact, I still have the Instant Messages that you sent me after I posted that critique. They'd probably make more sense if I still had the reply that I had sent between them though. If I had recognized you sooner, I probably would never have posted in this thread. Oh well.

Well, all I can say is that I've been at this Bryce thing for a long time, in fact, here's an animation I did with Bryce2 back in 1997. I rendered it frame by frame because Bryce didn't animate back then. No, it's not fine art. But it's a decent illustration of an insert.

But I don't see how that's relevant. There are a lot of new comers to Bryce that blow away long time users. The whole "n00b" syndrome is pretty dumb, and bears little meaning in the real world. It's geek speak for "well, I'm not better than you, but I was here first, so nyah nyah." I can also tell you that I hold a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts. But ultimately, I don't think every critic that you find at Renderosity or at any other webstie are obliged to give you their credentials. In fact, most use nick names and will not even tell you their name. Welcome to the internet.

In my experience dealing with you, since June, 2002, it appears that you're just an angry person. You don't handle criticism, and it's only made worse because you seem to lash out with insults at people that are genuinely trying to help you. Prime example: "sparky" What's that about? Why call me sparky? It appears that it's designed to demean me and insinuate that I'm too young for you to take seriously. Why would you write that?

I can't solve your problems, but I'll still offer advice in good faith: don't lash out at people that are trying to help you. It's sophomoric. If you don't want criticism, then post images without allowing comments. Afterall, if there's nothing that you want to hear beyond ego-stroking because you already know it, then there's no need to waste other peoples' time asking for comments. It just makes you appear as a know-nothing-know-it-all that's trolling for some pointless debate with strangers on the internet.
