Travis would like to see some Escher inspired walls.

as stated in other forums ... anyone posting various color versions of the same wall, skin, theme ,etc , should post them as a pack,, zip all the files in to one zip and upload it ..... this will allow users the ease of a single dl and reduce the clutter in the section . also it will keep others works from being pushed to the back...it's a matter of courtesy... make it easyer for everyone to enjoy them.
also i imagine ud get more of them out there, a good looking color pack is less likely to be refused, but 50 different colored uploads of the same wall,etc will....

this my2 cents worth ...

IPlural picks up Travis's two cents and starts making a roll. More effective when you hit something

No matter what graphic program, whether it is a 3D or 2D the point is that a great majority of the people that uses them never go beyond the 'preset' shapes, textures and colors. They don’t bother to experiment beyond the few icons visible on the program; therefore all the images will be alike.
GA was mentioned among the artist that have mastered his own technique of depth, reflection and camera position and combined with PhotoShop to create outstanding work (He is recently working a lot with fractal instead of Bryce)
Same goes with LuciousBeast style of combining 3D programs with PhotoShop to give us mind blowing designs.
I can list dozen of artists, including Adni, that have gone beyond the standard of the graphic programs to create astonishing work. 80% of my work is made with Bryce (including icons for OD and images for Cursors) but I also use a lot of PS to post edit them.
As I mention before, if people don’t experiment beyond what's in front of them, the results will be a repetition of the same things.

Instead of proclaiming the virtues of Bryce and 3D Max, I hope some people will listen and create some original artwork

tis the difference between bryce and 3dsmax, 3ds won't do the work for you. So basically anything that comes out of it IS original.

Thinking again on the 50 submissions at once deal, that seems to be the thing I've seen a few people do in a desperate attempt to overhaul downloads and get into a top author postion, I've seen that a good couple of times. The funny thing is, usually NONE of their work gets into top downloads, but they'll be in top authors.

Since there's already twice as many wallpapers than any other category....limiting it to one wallpaper per day per author would help and be sufficient. Mr.50 could still upload 30 submissions a month

I agree with you horiz0n, but the world is full of folks who THINK they are using common sense

so basically what yur saying is that common sence is really ..uncommon sence ?...

i'll refrain from getting involved, i think everyone knows my stance on bryce and poser work

I understand what Jafo means now, My Goof

And Horizon, sorry I thought they were similar to a raytracing program I once had, I have never used Bryce or 3D Max, maybe I should not have mentioned them in particular, My Goof again

But I still think Drawings or Paintings, would be welcome

Heck....there's 16.7 million different colours....why didn't he just up them all? I've got nothing better to do.....who 'needs' a life, anyway?....

hahaha dont tempt'em Jafo
