Ridiculous that your initial render was declined, unless they really had quibbles with that foreground bit (but I doubt it).
It's surprising and dismaying too, since as Seth said, many nice TG2 images were submitted within the past year or two and were approved, receiving very good comments. I do think though that there have been some rather poor TG (and other app) artists submitting work perhaps the past 6 months or so that may have made them less tolerant. Still some bad work from other apps makes it in, inexplicably, so it's really not fair.
We are planning to do some "case studies" and the like, similar to what Frank did in his "procedural detail" article on NWDA (which was very well done). Hopefully as we improve the understanding of how TG2 works, people will come to see how really amazing many of the artists here are.
By the way Walli, speaking of great TG2 work and many weeks of effort, what ever happened to this?
