Well, I had contacted Renderosity about the calendar idea several months ago, but was told at that time they weren't interested in the project. Since I felt I needed the support of Renderosity to pull the project off, I ended up tabling the idea for another day. The idea was to produce a quality calendar similar to what is sold in stores. I mentioned Boris because I have about 10 years worth of his calendars, but Royo also produces a similar kind of calendar, but his are harder to find. If you'd like to hear about my ideas I'd be happy to clarify them for you. Considering the digital prints cancellation at Renderosity, I think my idea of doing a calendar or Moebious' idea of an anthology may be a good solution. This kind of media would demonstrate to the community that their work has merit. I've seen some awesome images produced in the gallery. It's a shame that some don't get more exposure. Let me ask you. How are the subscriptions to the Renderosity Magazine doing? If subscriptions are doing well, that might prove to be a green flag at producing a once a year product like a calendar or anthology. Bear in mind though, that if either idea is to work, there must be support there for everyone, not just to the same handful of people. While that handful is extremely talented, there are those out there who's work is just as good and is bascially true (meaning little or no postwork) Poser, Bryce, or what have you. Is this worth exploring? I'd be happy to share my ideas. I'd be happy to help out, or even take a leading role. I'm quite passionate about exposing the work of the many dedicated artists who fill this site with their beauty.
