I dont think its just the grafix community now. EVERY forum I go to nowadayz is becoming more mean and paranoid. I think the reason for the grafix community becoming more jelously guarded is because of fads. I mean pixel stretching and blig chains used to be cool. No it whored to no end and all the cool ideas are stupid now. People's own creations are nw secret to them so everyone wont ruin it.
i can understand what ur saying but people won't even explain the simplest things and that pisses me off
maybe thats cuz everyone gets tired of answering the same question ten times a day i dont mind helping noobs tho i helped quite a few but what also annoys me is that noobs are getting more ruder to i mean i posted my first render a while back it was a render from an unknown game (Enthusia motersport) so i render a car and a noob comes in and starts flamin me cuz i had a few white spots
