Was bored yesterday...

Listen man I've been in this for a while.
The changes in the programs over the years have allowed the gap between truly talented artists and not so talented artists to close.
It might LOOK neat but consideration will still be taken over the piece as if the nice renderer wasn't there. I'm only telling you how it is.

Frustrating to see most people today missing the basics.
At this point i'd say forget the renderer and work on your modeling and texturing skills if you want to be recognized. Lighting is no longer an area of expertise - it's now done for you. Hopefully we'll never see a program that does everything for you. What is the fun or challenge in that?
i'm sure all of you would just eat it up


PREDICTION OF THIS FORUM IN 5 YEARS:
---------------------------------------
POSTER A:
sup guys i was bored so i decided to model a street. Took me 10 minutes minus render time (of 3 seconds). I love max 11!! It's all automatic!

POSTER B:

WOW very very impressive.

--
POSTER C:

EXTREMELY GOOD

-------------------------------------------


Get my point?
All the guys who have worked hard learning things over several years are being over run by kids who have nice new programs that do the same thing in 5 minutes. If all of you worked hard over the next five years and saw a post like my hypothetical one above, you'd be mad, too.
