We need to indicate the best Vue artist for the AOM of January 2003. Only one artist can be mentionned. Pleses help. This is very urgent, only a few hours! Who is, in your opinion the best Vue artist? Thanks. Guitta

Well guitta, I don't know many people's work in the gallery, but I know yours... I vote for you... :)

gebe my vote is for thomaskrahn, his work is outstanding!

Some of my favorites: linwhite, deadhead, shred300, pmermino, thomaskrahn.

THOMAS KRAHN!! Admittedly, there's a lot of great work being done out there, but Thomas has the edge on all of us.

either linwhite or thomaskrahn

It's always so hard to pick one person!! - I agree with many here - linwhite or thomaskrahn.

Linwhite. Hope I made my vote in time. :)

Thanks to all for your ideas. I submit pmermino for this AOM, because he is the only one of the submitted artists who NEVER does any postwork on his Vue images. I think he is a real artist, not only, but also foe this reason. Postworking is too easy and sometimes, not always, cheep.We were lookink for a Vue artist, not for a Poser or PSP artist. I will inform you when it is time to vote really:-). Thanks a lot for the time you've spent to give your ideas:-)

Rynn: Apparently, voting had nothing to do with which name was submitted.

Gebe - perhaps you should have listed the lack of postwork as a sideboard to keep in mind when we were making our suggestions. I'm not sure if this was just a courtesy on your part to ask us who we liked, or if the vote is up to moderator's only in reality.

Sorry Guitta, youre the boss but I am staggered at you decision. I think all disciplines should be considered (even post work, which I personally find not so easy), as long as Vue is the basis of the work they do. I know some absolutely mind blowing Vue artists that do post work, yet it now seems that they will never be given any recognition here. You asked for artists, yet you rejected Thomas who was an obviously popular choice... and does little or no post work. Sorry Linwhite, I'm not as familiar with your work as I am with Thomas's so can not give a fair comment of if I think it meets Guitta's criteria ;o) I must just add that I also think pmermino's work is outstanding, and well deserved (although I see that some of his images also contain post work)...but that is not the point :o( Cheers

Hello everyone and Happy New Year :o) I don't post very often, in fact I rarely post in the forum, but I do read every threads in the Vue forum and this one is just outrageous ! Why, as a moderator, did you make this 'urgent' post if it had no sense at all and you were going to choose the AOM yourself ? Don't get me wrong here, pmermino is an excellent artist, but that is not my point ! The game wasn't a fair one and that is not acceptable for the members. Just my 2 cents Elaine

Who has the moderators decided would be the winner of the AOM for January? How about for February? I am sorry, but this is what this looks like. With the uproar recently about AOY, it seems Renderosity is changing their way of business. And not for the better. It seems to be getting more elitist. May the New Year smile upon everyone!

Gebe then why did you ask us in the first place? I see it's already been decided but that's ok, sounds like now his name will go in another rendontest and that's probibly been decided already too. You should change the name from AOM to the-guy-who-fits-this-profile-sorta-cause-every-one-is-to-stupid-to-pick-this-artist-over-all-the-other-names-so-there Congrats to this months TGWFTPSCEOITSTPTAOATONST renontest winner !

I have to agree this is ridiculous, why make an urgent request for "our" opinion on a choice for AOM and then blatently ignore everyones votes. What was the point in even bothering to ask?

Reminds me of a definition in Ambrose Bierce's book, "The Devil's Dictionary": CONSULT, v.t., To seek another's approval of a course already decided on. In all fairness, though, she said, "Pleses help. This is very urgent, only a few hours! Who is, in your opinion the best Vue artist?" She didn't say postwork mattered. Nor did she say our input would be weighed or considered. She was getting ideas, I guess, perhaps just to see if she was overlooking what she felt was already the best choice. In fact, she THANKED us for our ideas. She WAS wrong about her statement, "who NEVER does any postwork on his Vue images", though, as a look at his gallery will show. Again, in honesty, it is minimal. But, when postwork is allowed, where does one draw the line? THIS is too much, but THAT isn't. I spent a lot of time in his gallery. Wondering just how he did this or that. Routine scenes were turned into art. Yes, he is very good! I should be so lucky to be as gifted. But the decision seems a bit "tainted". I think it will cause people to not participate as much in future opinions. Finally, I hope it doesn't taint pmermino's chances for the title, though.

I think we must remind some things : - Guitta's opinion is surely better compared to most of us, considering her work, her knowledge in 3D, all the work she has done for Vue ... - she asked for very very very urgent advice, Combination of this two reasons explains the choice she made. We also should consider the subject is not so important, I think, Hope it helps to cool down ;=) Yves

Here is the list of artists I have submitted for the AOM of January: pnermino Linewhite thomaskrahn YL I hope this is satisfying for you too. For the month of January are submitted some Vue artists, Bryce artists and Terragen artists. You can later vote for one of the outcoming artist. For the moment, it is NOT a vote, just a submission. It is only for January that we can submit a Vue artist, the coming month will be for other softwares. :-)Guitta

Sorry Guitta (and others), I didn't know you submitted my name.

You have not to be sorry YL:-). Other moderators submitted your name too:-)
