so... you like or dont like my sig dan?

The day you hand draw and scan that is when Ill tell you it looks nice.

Nice music. I like the post-processing effects. I'll assume its like that ingame. These days you don't need to buff up trailers anymore since consoles can handle more realtime rendering than in the old days.

Looks like a cool game though. Maybe I'll get it.

Everyone steals from everyone else. No one is original because everything has already existed. The glory of stealing/borrowing work is being able to sell it =)

We all know the prime examples I dont have to list them



Merged Deltas post from the other topic. Nice job there.

but u see, i use say.. photoshop maybe once in a while for a sig, so i dont make profit from it, 700 is roughly my entire weeks wage as i am currently an apprentice, so no doubt someone in a low end job who uses ps for own reasons should get a cheap version, or perhaps for free with some content cut out?

Ill take this into a real life discussion and a small point about why knowledge should be free, well Ill probably digress too much from that too.

Because in real life, the privileged and rich (usually one entity) are the ones who get all the knowledge and tools to do the work. Unfortunately we don't have everything we need all at our fingertips even though we always draw the overdone conclusion of the internet being information at our fingertips. Is it really at our fingertips? Yes. Can I learn something useful and worthwhile even if its out of my range of socio-economic status? Yes I still can. Can I be a pro at it and will people notice me? You can't get better than with what you have, and if theres something that stops you from growing, your gonna have a gap of knowledge. That gap is what it is that people notice, and that gap is like a passive element for those privileged.

There are many dark secrets to our world that we don't see and need to be digged out. Sad part is that the ones who know it exists always seems to get shot down by retards who dont open their eyes and the ones who have the upper advantage try to demonstrate how the "enlightened" are wrong to preserve the only thing they have going for them.

So what does this have to do with the big guys like Adobe and shit? Theyve got the money, power, and influence to keep what they have in control, in control. Big companys horde information, etc for the benefit of selling it to anyone who is stupid enough or plain just not in the right "range" for moneys, etc. This is starting to sound like some scifi movie where the government or some form of "collective" organization is evil and is out to get all its citizens or something like that. Is it? You can decide. Are there some unknown facts that go on right in our faces and we just don't see them? Ya, all the time, just list a bunch of religious sins and you probably more than halfway there. Can companies/etc charge some ridiculous shit for something that is so global that they could probably buy heaven from god? Holy fucking nigger-cunt, yes. Adobe is rich as a motherfucker and theres a shit ton of other companies that do exactly as they do just because they love see the money counter rolling. I shit you not, they do have a ticking money counter. Kinda like the fat kid who won't stop eating chocolates.


Okay, Ive typed a fucking essay here, but if you wanna read something, read this. They can charge whatever they want. If people want it, they will buy it. Making cut or low-end versions is a waste of time. And also the point about paying a professional price to use professional tools bla bla bla. They dont expect a little consumer to be looking into this stuff so they don't bother with it. They also hate those 13 year old kids that start with this at a young age because those are the influential ones that make them lose money. We fucked up big time when we let the world go to those puritan prudes. We could have been having orgy's all day, but instead we complain about how much some virtual art program costs.  > > > >

-1 internetz to myself.

All you need is a navigation bar that take you to the about, contact, and forum pages. Maybe a banner too, in case you cant remember what website you are on.

Companies and businesses get certain prices for products from vendors like Adobe. Most of this stuff never makes it to the scene since no one is going to be able to get volume licenses.
