Hi my name is Bill(started here as Primaltruck). I am an old hippy from the santa cruz mountains.I live with my wife and kids Alice and Chris..we also have 2 other kids Jason and leah, that are married and live elswhere..we live in the redwood forest with a spring and waterfall on our property and about 700 2nd growth redwoods..My artwork is definetly inspired by were i live and my family.My daughter(Alice) being a Tatoo artist and wife being my worst critic.she knows me and knows how to tell me when something doesnt look right without getting under my skin..Alice likes all art so she always says good things that help inspire me and i try to do the same for her..if you look at my rendorosity gallery you will see that i had a pretty rough start and took a year or so to get the hang of 3D art as i have always scetched and painted and created..But learning how to deal with something new is always an adventure..and its been a lot of fun and i have made alot of friends along the way.I mostly use Bryce and Poser and Photoshop on a Dell PC..and plan on getting Vue in the near future..and...I couldnt talk about art with out mentioning Dudley Wade(Prog)Who was one of my first friends here and a heck of a great teacher and i think i learned more from his advise and studying his art than anything else....I dont think i have a style,except that my style is in doing something different when i can think of it!and the longer i post art in these galleries the more i realize that its not really about the art but about the friendships made....getting better with our art is just icing on the cake..I have also been a musician all my life and have played guitar for 30 some odd years..Loving everything from Mel Torme to Jimi Hendrix to all the great new music i hear..some Favorites..Frank Zappa,Stevie Ray Vaughn,Beatles,Pink Floyd,Yes,Scott Henderson,Steve Vai,Joe Satriani,Steve Morse,Nuno Bentencourt,Paul Gilbert,Vinnie Moore,Frank Gambale,Al Dimeola,Les Paul,Chet Atkins,Speedy wes,Jimmy Brynt,Barney Kestle,Charlie Byrd,and many more..i have been posting at renderosity mostly and at Dreamslayerart,Tapestry of dreams,Innertraveler,artzone,renderotica and 3DCommune..not all at the same time...lol...I am very easy to get along with and treasure the friendships made here..I am not afraid to speak up for what i believe in ,am strictly non violent,love nature,and always looking for fun and a reason to celebrate life...so dont be afraid to say hello or ask for help..I dont bite that hard...Love and Peace and Respect.

Wonderful Background ! and girl image!

Well, this is just beautiful, and I wish she would float over here! I haven't seen rain or any similar disturbances in months! LOL! There are more changes on the horizon that will supposedly fix this resizing deal, but for now I have a script that views the image in full (just like the old days!). I haven't been commenting much, so I can't say I have had ghost comments, but I do see the 'narc' button. I don't think that's going away anytime soon. I would assume that the comment that ensues from the complaint would have to be valid for any action to take place, but I hear you on that point. I say just give it a few months and things will work out in the end. LOL! Excellent work, Buddy, and keep strong! Growing pains in this place always hurt the worst!

I had the same problem with the comments untill it dawned on me my comment was on page 2 while I was commenting on page 1. So it didnt show. I know I know I'm a little dim at times! :) Fantastic image btw. She is a total cutie!

Lovely render, I really like the lighting!! I havent had any troubles with the galleries, so I cant comment there. Excellent Image!
brycek
She is lovely Bill..I finally figured out about the page 2 for comments after the notice I had already signed. It's been frustrating, but think it will work out!! Excellent work!!

Love the colors in the bacground. Cute girl. I did miss a few ebots and for a bit, the galleries were messed up but now it seems to be doing fine. Just taking it slow to adjust is all. But I'm used to having to adapt to changes in my real life...lol.
frankiemas
What a gorgeous pin-up!!! Her expression is wonderful and the background is beautiful!!! Excellent artwork!!! Hugsss Frankie ^_^
ThePinkus
A wonderful picture indeed! PS look in the "community center" forum for PJM's CSS code (the "altrnative CSS" thread, 2nd page if I correctly remember) to solve the resized display problem.
chrislenn

yarddog
Almost makes me wish I was there with her; Gorgeous!!!! My big beef is the resized images and the pixal problems that it causes, It makes my details look like c@@p. Who would want to click to see a bigger piece of c@@p. hmmm.
buckzero
Great lighting and expression/face.
chrysalide

ericfarris
Yes it's a real chaos here (lol) - Magnific Sylfie here, gorgeous tones Bill!

Lovely work Bill :) Hang on in there with the galleries, I'm sure they'll come out right in the end. In the meantime you might want to try the CSS style sheet by PJF (?) in the Community Forum, I'm using it and it's wonderful, no re-sizing prob. Also, check out the comment by Danceswithroos - that happened to me too till I worked it out...and don't you dare leave..lol :)
jjean21
THis is just SO beautiful in it's simplicity...Sylfie is just wonderful in your hands and I love the simplicity and use of colors.

Bill what is the narc button??? I am getting spotty e-bots. This is such a huge change for us and it will take some getting used too. BUT it is much faster and for that I am thankful. Your image is stunning Bill, she is breathtaking and love your postwork!
Artzy
Lovely Done!
supermarioART

Anain

Gorgeous work Bill! Love the lighting and that background is gorgeous! I'm having tons of problems too. The ebot for this image is only the 2nd one I've gotten since the upgrade. One question thougH; what's a "narc button"?
McAfee2000
Very nice image - love the lighting
frenulum
Love the image -- very appealing pose, figure, and face. Agree with you that pretty much every change to the gallery has been for the worse -- the stupidest of them all being the "click on a thumbnail to click on the big thumbnail to see the image" nonsense.

Why do you think I havn't posted I'm going to wait till it settles a bit or my intro is going to start every time with PLEASE ZOOM IN lol! I can comment alright I do find the site opens quicker this end it was a pain before. I think a lot of people feel the same. I comment alot and I have noticed a lot of people are not commenting anyway it's the thought that counts and anyone nice wouldn't hold it against you lol! Gorgeous image I like the background a lot well done :) Cathy xoxoxo
