Toxe and Memaci: I agree with you. Also the things you noted give us hints of why the images are in the best ranked list and the fact that they don't have that many viewings speaks for itself. Mateo: I have seen some great work by several artists in Carrara 1 and RDS. I am of the opinion that a good artist can come up with excellent work regardless of the tool. And don't get me wrong good work for me doesn't imply GI and photorealism. 3D can be used to explore many art forms (abstract, cartoons, etc). My point was focusing on my subjective opinion about aesthetics and my observations on the modeling, texturing and lighting of certain images that I think do not portray the best a Carrara (1,2,3) or RDS artist can create.
