the main reason i become so interested in anything is mainly the community surrounding them. I love my cars and am a member of a few motor sport communities, i love MMO games and have several people i talk to and play games with whom ive never met and probably wont ever meet but id call them a friend. Im not a social outcast and have a large circle of friends but sometimes I feel that the only ones who can help are the ones who don't know me, who aren't afraid of pointing out criticisms within my work and giving helpful advice.
the best part of communities such as this is that we are here for one sole reason, our personal interest in the 3d world. This means we wont get any idiots bothering us who want to poke fun or mess things up, we just get quality level headed members, everything runs smoothly. I particularly enjoy watching the skills of myself and others grow upon sites like this and the overall helpfulness and quality of the members is astounding and this helps peoples skills grow faster than anything within my opinion. If i post up a WIP and somebody comments it im motivated to finishing the model and taking into account all comments....the model generally comes out better than i anticipated
i salute u Enjoy CG and thank Jelmer and company for all their hard work maintaining the site
