excerpt from activewin's page... http://www.activewin.com/reviews/software/operating-sys/winxppro/style.shtml Now that we have seen what’s new in the start menu & taskbar let’s have a look at the desktop. Windows XP’s desktop now sports 32 bit color icons that feature an ‘aqua’ style. Sure it’s still possible to configure the desktop to be displayed in 16 bit color but icons aren’t as beautiful as they should be. Unlike previous versions of Windows, the wallpaper isn’t degraded by

werewolf - heh...cool so, does all of this mean that the admins are going to remove all of the crappy Bryce work here? methinks not. however, maybe it'll help up the ante for what skims through the approval system. Now, if only we had a bar-elevator for the photoshop junk that gets slid though with the good stuff as well...

I mean, come on...Adni is a great artist, but look at the creations (a big handful, not all)...Bryce and Photoshop...over and over and over. Some people get off on that, but to me (MY DAMN OPINION) it is similar to the default Bryce work everyone pumps out daily. And yet, there they are, averaging 700+ downloads a day... So people like the same abstract 3D multi-layered glassy-with-varying-shades-of-transparency effect with some random quasi-elemental shading or randomized color shceme

there are numerous tutorials out htere for Bryce, as well...try getting into non-nature settings in a real-life scenario....like a city street or something. Also, even the best have trouble. Notice Gorg's links to the one guy doing the bonsai trees? All of the bark on the trees angles straight up, instead of *with* the curve of the trunk...just some more to practice on, even for the *really good* artists...

I guess I agree with both sides...like I said, I quit on it. I know I can't put the time and effort into being as creative as Grog's links, and I fully expect to see most of the 3D art here moderated out, since most of it, like most of the abstract wallpapers, are redundant with the same friggin filters after using a generic 3D app to make some curved walls and such. But hey, it is a beginning. Maybe deadman will be the next big artist doing movie animations or something. Either way, if you anjo

you know...a site as big as devart infers it has a bit of jink, right? i wonder if britny could use a little extra spending cash by sikkin' her lawyers on the site owner(s) for copyright violation just to shut this conversation up? hmm...wonder what her email addy is... /me goes to sign up at the fan club...pauses to shoot himself in the left eyeball, and turns around with the temptation and yearning rushing out of him like diarrhea...

hey deadman, the starwars one was pretty funny. i got into those meshes when i first found them, which is what led me to bryce. i didn't understand how to get them to display. it was pretty funny trying to get all of the ships angled just right and scaled just right and then mixing in the background elements and lighting. keep it up, practice makes perfect!

I have uploaded and passed moderators' approvals exactly two things in my two years of being part of the skinning community. One was a crappy skin for a notepad...the other was a bryce rendition done with a trial version. In the end, I couldn't justify the expense and haven't done anything with Bryce since. It took me right up to the last of the 30 days I had to get the image I ended up with, and it was for a friggin wallpaper, uploaded to skinz.org a long time ago. All the rest of the

Guacamole is my favorite vegetable... ...just my two cents... ...and before I get reamed, I understand it is just the *mushed & chunky* form of an avacodo, so go pick your nose somewhere else... ...and it goes great with chips & slasa... ...which is much better, in my opinion, than fish and chips... ...which I really don't care for...

oh, wait, are you saying you need tpo create a media player from scratch? in that case, ignore me completely, because the only programming experience i have is on a commodore...about 15 years ago...and a handful of trying to learn javascript, asp, and vb...all of which i currently suck at and have little to no time to learn, but keep trying to anyways...
