.. yeah probably not the best sample. I'm looking for iconbuilder for Photoshop 7.0. i may not be able to get it and might have to use another tool to get the job done... *light bulb* i don't need to enter but, i had the idea that the community could have a contest or challenge to make a renderosity set of icons. Perhaps a 4 to 9 icons? I wonder what the next Photoshop, Poser, Bryce, Z-brush or program 'version X' icon might look like - the program list could go on... 128x128? the submissions for judging could have a 'simulated desktop' with their icons on it, to simulate a screen shot, each with link to one icon in that set to download... regardless if the comp happens or not I'm going to have a crack at it after i see some responses - I can see how icons can seem limited because of there size, heh could try a CD cover again lol.

What concerns me, is that every icon nowadays seems to be made of plastic (hi-gloss) and glows every now and then. Do not get me wrong, it is a nice look, but after searching for some 'ps tutorial aqua' stuff on Google, one might get the impression that an icon needs to look like it is a 'domed' kinda sticker. If we wait some months, people will be craving non-plasticy looking stuff. For Renderosity I would like to see some stuff that looks hand-crafted. If I could find some time, I would go after that. It is not too hard to make everything round, or rounded, and add a gradient from white (or a opacity percentage from that) to none, to everything. I think a good challenge would be, to really develop a 'next generation'-look, that goes beyond this. What would stick out of everything else. I would be willing to try something. I guess it would be grungy. Just to be different from the mainstream...
