I agree stwert, too many applications will make it more difficult to manage. SimplyMaya is just that, simply Maya.

Im as you are Rhet, this is the first site I came to 5 months or so ago when I started. The attitudes here ARE positive even when critique is applied, the arguments are mature and not personal. I too have been to other sites that really havent got a patch on this mob when it comes to etiquette.

SM dave either starts going commercial and loses its identity or SOFTLY changes even just its look and outlay. Maybe things could be catalogued in their respective boxes a bit better ie Poly tuts = vehicles, biuldings, landscapes etc same as the gallery needs it too.

Dont get me wrong SM should have small branches of the other apps but not commit fully, logistically it would be difficult. The trouble with being a specialist is extinction is inevitable BUT the same goes for overkill on multiplatform bases.
