I'd have to agree with you on that one. It's not that I don't think that anyone
should be doing the hi-tech stuff, far be it from me to tell anyone what not to
do (even if it does look like something more suitable to the side of a muscle
van than anywhere else <g>).
I think the biggest reasons that there's an over-abundance of robots and space
ships are:
-the combination of flat metal planes and realistic metal reflective highlights
make them a novelty that we haven't had access to before
-the first people attracted to new, complex technology (like 3DS and computers)
like to model (or draw or talk about) complex technology
I think that as more and more people begin to use computers (the holdouts),
there will be more people working in 3D animations and renderings who are
concerned with *content*, more than process.
There will always be spaceships, but think of it this way: the more people
buying 3DS to make them, the cheaper the software becomes for those who want
to make something else.
I now fully expect to be attacked by a squadron of "Verwillian attack Cruisers"
(in full 24-bit colour) for sullying their honour <g>.
