I totally agree with TheJoker who wrote "The ONLY software I know having so many bugs leading to constant crashes is Vue Pro. This is - not only for me - a simple FACT." Well said TheJoker! Btw, the comparison with Poser is rather funny, since Poser 5 is on the #2 spot on the list of software with most severe bugs. That's also a FACT.

Excellent models and ... wow, NOT the stone bridge I was looking for! It might help if you read ("couldn't find anything worth using", "without the right model") or ask first ("what kind of bridge") before you assume that I don't know how to find any bridge at all.

I'm looking for a model of a bridge for one hour now and couldn't find anything worth using. That's sad, because I've many different ideas on my mind, but without the right model I'm not going anywhere and that makes this challenge very restricting in my opinion. I just want to start playing with Vue, nothing more and I shouldn't be spending hours to find a useful model. Oh well, I guess I have to wait for the June challenge.

First of all, its strange why some of you think its fair to give my words less weight just because I dont have a gallery. I posted this thread because I think its a good thing to help others with their art, to give guidelines. It gives every artist a good feeling to look at her/his art and to see the improvements. So what has this to do with me having a gallery or not? You lost me here. I love helping and guiding people and thats also why I posted not long ago a thread in which I tried to guide others with some tips. The reason why I dont have a gallery is because I dont need one here at Renderosity. Im in the process of developing a large Photoshop related site with a small group of people and my art will be posted in a gallery on that site. The same gallery will also include some of my vector art and images I did with Cinema 4D and Vue dEsprit. Ive came up with an example of how it took 5 images and 20 comments before someone tried to guide the artist, regardless if his advice was fair or not. Nobody commented on this. Ive also provided a link that I added to explain in more than just mere words what I mean by good critique, again, nobody commented. I can dig up some old threads that prove that there are more people like me who have some concerns about the way people comment. Also nobody seems to remember these threads. Since this doesnt turn into an open discussion, Ive just decided to not to spend anymore words on this, I guess, controversial subject. I want to apologize for the use of the word cowards, but my lack of English also means that I tend to use the wrong words for the wrong occasions. Have a nice day.

Nevermore I made a rash generalisation? I hardly doubt that. I'll give you an example. I went through your latest images in your gallery that had comments (nice works btw). Did you know that it took me about 20 comments in 5 images, before I read something that is more than just an 'excellent', 'well done' or 'nice' comment? The first comment that I considered an advice was "i wish the wings were a little softer". Either there was no need for advice/tips when 20 people commented on your images or I was right when I wrote that people either don't have the courage of experience. Its up to others to decide for one or the other.

You can't compare both programs. Compare Onyx with Xfrog and Xfrog is the clear winner.

What has the most influence on the speed of a car? A 3 liter turbo engine instead of a 1 liter fuel injection engine or new tires, exhaust, brakes, shocks, etc?
