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.

As has already been expressed you will be sorely missed, as will your incredible art. Hopefully you will find a place to land where you can get some of the old enjoyment back, seems like more than not that's a personal web site. This last image is incredible and just shows us all what an incredible talent Renderosity has lost. Best wishes my friend. RG

So Sorry To See You, Like So Many Others, Driven Away... You Will Be Missed!

All I can do is echo others feelings here. But I do understand and agree with you. Between things that have happened in the past several months here, the thing with Dave, now you leaving, and my own personal illness (being out of remission), I'm right behind you. As a matter of fact, this is probably my last comment here. I'm gonna miss you most of all, TinMan. {{{{HUGS}}}}

BILL: I just earlier left you a 'comment' on the uploaded work I dedicated to you. Maybe, just MAYBE, ALL those who commented here, and who have commented in the past on ALL your brilliant works, will now go to THE COMMUNITY CENTER FORUM and COMMENT THERE on YOUR honest questions and concerns (and many others also) regarding site issues here. HINT .... TallPockets/brian.

Hey, Pal! I sent you an IM that says most everything! I know how you feel-I posted an Aiko redhead a couple of weeks ago, and deleted it for fear of the TOS. It's not the same place anymore. You will be missed in so many ways, my friend!
Robert0921
Well, this image is very cool anyway.
ephotosaver
Just wild... Great Job.

Bill .. doesn't seem fair, I've just discovered your work, and now you're gone. Guess I'll have to hunt around till I find where you are posting. This image if fanatastic ..shock and anger peeling off in layers .. wonderfully done.

Oh my I am so sorry to hear that you are leaving. I understand why but I am still sad. SO many leaving. Sad, sad.
brat526
And you said I shouldn't leave,that my work would be missed. Well, HA,not one single persone has even noticed that I haven't posted since march 9th. I sometimes don't even think you know how long it's been. Noone even ever sent me an IM asking anything either. So my friend I beat you out by 7 months. You have been the only reason I sign on here,and the only one left that I commented on. Well, it's been a blast NOT!!! See you on the other side,maybe. Maggie

Well, Bill, I am just speechless about this whole thing, yet not surprised. It's a very sad day for the community here, or what's left of it I should say. when I came stumbling onto the site just about 2 years ago, I was always fascinated with this Prinaltruck guy and his illustrious and unique artwork. Then I got to know Bill over time and realized what a great person and friend to so many here! I defiitely cannot disagree that the place isn't what it used to be, and the lame decisions made have left me baffled and quite upset, as well. I thikn in terms of magnitude, this event will be a 7.0 and will leave a wake of memories shared by so many here as the Primaltruck Era. I honestly don't know what to make out of everything that has happened today, but I know we are further away from where we were a couple years ago. Take care of yourself, Bill, and keep in touch! Perhaps we'll meet somewhere more happy and productive one of these days! You are a true one of a kind and will be sorely missed here!

Lorraine

a very creative scene and excellent concept and design....... and that is the way I know you: creative with perfect scenes.... So, I dont know if this is the right way to say good-bye. O.k., some thins have changed here and sometimes I somethings go, lets say, wrong. But for I told to myself, thats not only rero...that the f... life and nobody said that this life is fair. So I decided not to give up...Hope I see you somewhere in the world wide web...
DRAKELOT
Oh Bill, I hope you find a good place to post your terrific & unique art !!! I will miss you as a friend and all your fantastic works ... Hope you visit some time !!! ... Good luck Bill !!!
SnowSultan
That's too bad, so many of us will miss you! The site has diminished a little for me too, but I figure my leaving doesn't really help anyone. :) Seriously awesome image too! Hope you'll keep in touch no matter where you go!
Wolfkazzy
So sorry to see you go and I can see clearly why :( Are you still going to be at Chris's site? hugs Kazzy
FlyByNight
This has got to be one of your best pieces ever! Wow, it's going into my favorites. I've seen a lot of great folks leave in the six years I've been here and it saddens me to add yet another wonderfully kind and talented artist to that list. Dammit, it makes me mad as hell!!! But on the flip side I know where I can still view your work and leave a comment or two. And it always gives my spirit a lift when I see a comment from you on one of my images. So, I'll be seeing you over there!!! And thanks for being the inspiration that you are.

Bill, I'll sure miss you . you've been a wonderful friend. Now excuse me while I go get some tissue for my eyes...sob.
buckzero
Outstanding work, shame you are leaving, but I understand why. TL and you have been some of my favorites and I'm on dsl and this site gets slow for me sometimes also. Let us know where you end up.
romanceworks
Going to miss you and your superb artwork here on R'osity. Your work, like you, is one-of-a-kind. The above image reminds me of a lion man. Stay strong, courageous, creative, my friend, and take care of yourself. CC

Bill... I know we never talked much what doesnt change my admiration for you and your art. I will say only one thing and I hope it somehow makes you think and maybe , just maybe changes your mind someday.. cause you leaving is a loss for us all. GOOD PEOPLE SHOULD NEVER LEAVE CAUSE ITS BECAUSE OF THEM THAT WE KEEP OUR FAITH IN HUMANITY.

I wish the admins would wake the f**k up and realize that this place is about the people first, not just the pics. They can't just expect people to stick around in a place where so much fear and control are forced upon them. And that's not just applicable to this site, it's a fact of life. I understand your decision to leave, Bill. I just hope the people in charge here see this before too many artists who made me want to join this place start to get the same idea. Best of luck with your life and your art in the future, wherever you go with them. - Matt
