I have to pipe in here. I dont think it is the standard in which the testers test should be raised I think the testers should do the jobs they were given or find someone that will. Don't get me wrong there are some really harsh testers out there and i usually get them. and i think the ones that do their jobs jen Wink only add to the quality of the products that are here. with that said the price in which some products cost affect the number sold as well. there are some really awesome items that i want but will not buy due to the fact that i think the price is a bit much. and as the saying goes you can please some of the people some of the time but you will never please everyone. Fact is we as merchants do not have any say in the way render is run. my opinion deal with it or leave it. just a personal opinion :)

In reading all this it just amazes me that with all the talented and creative people here at renderosity that Renderosity has not held a contest for the creation of the new "Renderosity Super Model" with the main rule being it be completely original. then let us all vote on the winner and upon total verification of it being an original figure let it be released. as for ripping renderosity for the flub need i remind everyone that just this last christmas Daz also had issues with products having copywrite infrindgments. thease things happen. as for those that put their time and effort into creating things for the renda character I belive that they do deserve compensation. maybe a $50.00 Renderosity gift voucher...

Thanks for your opinion:) I agree with you and your help in confirming what i was thinking only makes me more confident in my desision:) thank you so much :)

The main reason i am leaning tword Maya is that that seems to be the industry standard in film and television. I am looking to take classes in Special effects anamation, Modeling among many other things. Maya is the software they teach. My Dream job would be to work at ILM so that is the main reason I choose the school i did and the software.

Cool thank you so much :)

HEHE Ok Not one that I have heard on "Are You Being Served?" When i get the software I will help to lessen your confusion. or at least i hope too lol Thanks so much for your help :)

OK You had to make me ask what the heck is a kerfuffle? LOL And to be honest no matter how clueless you are I am willing to bet that i am way more than you :)

LMAO! "Sux Like a Win Tunnel" DOnt ask me why but that hit me as being so funny! I almost fell out of my chair. Did you go to the alias site and see the write up? they also sell it as a stand alone. I do appreciate your help. and thanks so much for the laugh:)

MentalRay is standard in Maya. There is a big write up on it in the alais website. Humm I am confussed now lol, long day :)

Cool do you know where i can get Renderman?

I was considering the Maya 6 unlimited does it too come with the sub-standard rendering engine? as for the addons I like many that i have seen on the Maya website,and have taken that into concideration. Thanks :)

Thanks for the imput. I have test riven all of the software and i am partial to Maya although for what i would pay for Maya i can get Cinema 4d with Body paint 3d r2 and all the Maxon Plugins for the same price now that they are offering a $700.00 discount for the Studiw Bundle to those that have a comparable product. Mine being Shade. I guess my delima now is price verses product. Thanks again for your help:)

I am still pretty flabbergasted I hadn't realized you were running a contest. I am however still honored that you liked my image. Thank you for selecting me and congrats to the other winners:) Your Awsome :)
