Please, don't be like me and be a total stranger for months at a time. :) I have appreciated your work and the work of the team. In the bananas lifestyle some of us seem to lead, this is a nice "home" to come back to from time to time. This is a great forum, and I'm just now encouraging my daughter, a budding photographer and designer to become involved. In this effort, I have come to realize I'm almost never able to sit and enjoy Renderosity anymore. I hope to begin rectifying that somewhat.  It'll be a comfort to know you're there, even if it's in the background, Kort.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell the gang how very much I appreciate the LWITG. It is a highlight of my Monday morning to look at what they've picked and try to discern what their theme/category may kind of be that week.

You guys are appreciated. Glad you got some vacation time. Thanks for all you do.

John

Hola. Still here, just not turning out much Bryce these days. :)

John

AAAAAaah. Need LWITG fix right away. Can't wait... Need photos...

Seriously, totally understand. I just appreciate that you keep up with this each week. It truly is a great way to start off the week by looking at some of the excellent things people are turning out.

Keep up the good work.

Super work, btw. Great job, everybody.

I think, ThunderStone, that you mean **mcw1917 Flowers.

I appreciate the vote, but I think it was a mistake. :)

Just to clarify, I forgot to put a title on mine. Let's call it "Retro-plane", in case anyone does decide to vote for it.

Sorry about the confusion.

Cool. Will it pose hands? I'll check it out ...

I have in on one system, but I've never used it.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Our prayers are with you. As the cafe crowd appeared to show, we're all too caught up in our day-to-day junk sometimes to offer a simple kindness to someone in pain. I'm gratified to know that, at least here at Renderosity, we can still see it within ourselves to care about others.

I wish I had more words of comfort, but there just isn't a magic phrase for the kind of pain and loss you're feeling. Know that I will continue to pray for you. God is the God of more than enough, so He can comfort when we are helpless.

On a personal note, thank you for sharing your loss with us. Even though our words are inadequate, I am glad that you'd trust us with your personal feelings.

It is for a T-shirt. White will work better in this case for that. I got this to them so they could do their work on the T-shirt.

If I were to do a rendering, I would have chosen a different background altogether, so I agree with you.

As far as the brushes, stamps, etc., that is the first I've heard about this, but I can't say it surprises me.  Thanks for the input.:)

ha ha. :) Silo. You are a droll man, Bryster.

Thanks for the kind comment, though. I appreciate it.

Attached Link: Heart-guy thread...

Those of you who looked at my collage, above, will probably catch the fact that I stole the arms, hands and shoes (kind of my trademark, actually, on the shoes) from the smoke alarm character.

Sometimes you just have to grab what you can get to meet deadlines, and I'd promised the Cardiac Rehab a character by today.

Anyway, the thread is at the attached URL, if you didn't see it on today's board.

Have a good day, all.

I like it. Rendering is not a problem for you, so that is good. Once you really get the hang of Wings, you'll find it a super tool to have.

Have a great day. Keep 'em coming.
