no Thayne your "Barbie" comment had nothing to do with my rant. I have read several threads at different sites that have gone on and on about is 3D art or not over a period of time, and I finally had enough. Personally I think that 2D art is the shit, it will always be around in my opinion. I do 3D art because it is easier for me to express myself that way. IF I had to draw out the picture and then find the right colors and draw in the shadows and background I would end up with about 10 different ideas. 3D art is fast in the way that I can go to my folders and find exactly what I want quickly. I can then go to the material room and see exactly what the colors will look like and hopefully follow what I have as the finished image in my mind.
I have noticed that some of the worst bashers of 3D art are peope who have either tried orking with it and hated it, followed by those that have never used it before and think that it is below them to try it.
Now you Thayne do not fall into that, you have in the past helped me with projects when I asked you a question. You took the time to help me understand parts of a picture. Jut like Bio, Bio has forced me to step outside my comfort zone and try different things in the past. One of my best images is the one he helped me with and actually make the background for it.
I did not intend for people to think that I believe that all 2D artist are elitist, I know several here that are very friendly and helpful when they are asked for advice. The comments I made are intended for those artist that posted comments saying that 3D art is nothing more than a program and should not be considered art. I also think that as long as there are comic fans the traditional 2D comicbook will keep 2D art alive.
I guess I have done enough damage here so I will call it a night.
