So,...I just went to the genre, Flowers and Plants - I mean, it's flowers and plants, so you aren't going to see much nudity and what is there - First page has an elven women in panties, standing in her garden! Why? where is the art in this? What is the purpose of an elven lady in panties? Shouldn't she be in her over-alls, with a couple garden tools in her pockets?

I am not against nudity as an art form, so I do not wish to block it. The issue I have, is people just using nudity willy nilly and without any other purpose, but to show off scantily clad people. I just got a bit heated up and annoyed, so I thought about it first, before I even posted this topic. I didn't want to offend anyone, yet I feel offended and cannot really do much about it.

Speedy renders would be a sure fire purchase point for me.

Would love to hear some of that chat myself.

And yeah, we can put neato sigs on now.

If I am around that way; then maybe, but I doubt it right now.

Have to be in Tennessee on labor day and south Ohio about mid August. Then New York after that.

me also the rust mat is quite nice and that blue crackled one too!

I seen this before AS. You may need some help in here soon, someone who can dedicate themselves, such as you have and do.

For the record; my IEcurrent/WinXP always works fine with PHP code. Microsofts anti-spyware runs in background and no problems yet at all.

I know Microsloth, had its un-reliable periods aplenty. However, running full out with their apps and browser has been a pleasurable, trouble free experience, the last year or so.

EDIT: Ummm, I have been noticing problems all over the net today, in several different forums as well as, the three I mentioned earlier in this thread.

Strange. I got all the html codes displayed in white boxes at one forum, instead of the content? hmmm. Also getting errors in html displays elsewhere; flashing cursors, jumbled letters.

 hmmm, no problems in Rosity forums though.

Snakey: Yes, powers of two. I realized too late that My texture packs have some wrong sizes.

I would suggest that Rayraz and Diolma have sound advice above.

I should probably state, I am still kind of new to all this, creating products thing.

Yes, that may be very unique.

Your off to wonderful start! Good camera work as well, it seems.

WOW! I tiled it on my desktop at your upload size here(512x512). I cannot even find the edges! Excellently done with seamless details!

Think I'll keep it as my desktop wallpaper for a few days.

Now  for copyrights; The digital image or original stones must be your property(meaning: you went out and took this pic yourself). then make it tileable in PS/AICS or equivalent. Like you have done above.

anyways, I think all your textures are fantastic.

More:

If you do a quick web search for specific textures, you will find that nearly all surfaces have been produced at one time or another, about 1000 times 1000.

I try and find something, that I cannot find, while doing those searches. Then I make it first. let me say though, it is not easy.

 

> Quote - I think I understand what Chris is saying. I believe the reason we do not see many Sci-Fi city vistas with hills and mountains is that the implication is made that the works of humankind (or alienkind) have surpassed the very works of nature as far as scale or vastness. Mountains and canyons still dwarf by comparison the greatest structures and buildings that humankind has made thus far into the early 21st century. What better way to show that a advanced civilization can control the entire resources and energy output of a planet, solar system, or even galaxy than to show that nature itself has been conquered. Thus there are no majestic mountains or valleys to conflict visually with the tremendously vast scale of the Sci-fi "dystopian" mega-city. Or, they might be great at building models and piss-poor at making landscapes!

I think I will quote Danamo word for word on this one.

As for that tutorial on using a terrains; you should multi-layer that for more definition and variety.

hmmm, I have one in my gallery that has about 12 terrains in it, just a small image and rather flat:

april of 2002 then. hmmm, I had just become a member around then. I remember my first visit here at Renderosity; It changed my life direction and goals forever.

You Agent Smith, have always been here, in my minds eye.

Happy Mod Day AS!

They're talking about Dr who; the new series, I believe.

This most likely is not what it is, but your model looks nearly like that tornado probe this meteorologist just successfully put in a tornados path recently. only yours looks better. hahaa.

 

I just got blender a month ago. somehow my version is 2.3x? hmmmm. anyways, I will need to learn this program very soon, but am now working with Illustrator CS2 at the moment.

The tutorials will come in handy for someone like me, down the line.

I learn very fast, so maybe I will write a tut or two later?

I'll agree also with Rayraz; some artists want the larger sizes. Especially around Renderosity and DAZ Productions. Rayraz said;  2048x2048 or 4096x4096 for close-up renders

I have spent much of my time making game textures. Where the developers and teams are trying to save memory, but it is always easier to, shrink something to what you need rather than, have to purchase it too small.

I have seen a few of your avatar choices Agent Smith. This final Character, takes all the honors.

The php code is a great step in the right direction for 'Rosity. This should take the entire website into a whole knew growth spurt.

 I have seen it get crazy though, at many other forums, so be ready for it.

Lots of our healthy members, will throw care to the wind and become bandwidth junkys; eating it up with smilies and flashes.

so,.....I applaud you also AS, for your dedication and many years of patient moderation.

I'll save the final congratz, for later on.
