Not back to start the dialogue up, life got in the way, and I just got done making some adjustments to the site, etc.. and items were tweaked related to feedback from this forum. Just wanted to thank everyone for their input, it helped us look at from a different angle. It doesn't matter whether your input made me feel…
I really like your AR/VR pieces and the pumpkin textures/materials. Your large environment, however, suffers from very flat and inconsistent lighting. In a way, it looks more 2D than the concept.

I hope we get to see better days again, this place makes me appreciate having a sense of community around 3D art. Seeing this thread…
