It's great to hear you haven't regretted your choice, but picking on the
TS gallery doesn't do much for your case, since the winning (and quite
excellent) image was done in TS4. And btw, this is a complete load of
baloney,
"...take two equally skilled artists and the one with the better tools
will always prevail."
Where did you come up with this wonderous statistic? Mind telling me
how two artists can be 'equally skilled', to the point where using the
same application they produce works that are just as 'good', in the
minds of everyone (every time)? You know of two people like this? If
you do, you'll have to introduce me to your two invisible artistic
friends. With a comment like this, you're trying just a little *too*
hard to prove your point. Lightwave is a well known application, and it
attracts some very good, high-level artists. I bet it has amazing
galleries, since most guys just starting out in rendering can't afford
the jolly thing. They can afford TS however, so the galleries tend to
be a little... less impressive, with works from all across the board.
Did you think of that?
Look, like I said above, it's great you have a program that works well
for you (since, after all, it's the final image that counts and not what
you use to get to it) but I hardly feel you're the perfect person to
comment on Truespace falling short. Lightwave is a good application,
that's true, but Truespace is no slouch.
