I've been checking the gallery pretty often and wondering what was up. Now I will finally be able to sleep at night. Thanks for the information. I've been checking the gallery pretty

Okay, I think I misinterpreted this to mean that the gallery would no longer be updated monthly, and NO LONGER only showing the best Blender creations. I thought it seemed a little bit ridiculous...my bad. :) "the galley will no longer be updated monthly, and only showing the best Blender creations."

I used to check it all the time. It was the way I learned what was possible and who were the movers and shakers in the Blender world. Now the gallery is stale. I sort of follow the reasoning behind doing it this way, but I also know that it takes a lot of work to sort through a site like BlenderArtists in order to find something cool to look at. Here's an idea: why not have a "Hall of Fame", which would be sort of like what they are doing now, and then have a monthly or weekly archive. The monthly/weekly pages wouldn't have to have a ton of images in them. If only 2 good images are made during the period, then only put up 2 images. Simple right? And then, if a new pic comes out that just totally blows away the competition, add it to the Hall of Fame. That way everybody's happy, and I think that Blender will "sell" better too.

The problem is that: a) There are not enough high quality images for the blender.org gallery produced every month (see blenderartists.org/forum gallery which only adds 1-2 high quality images per month) b) It is alot of work to select images, ask artists for permission, etc Beside that, macouno is right when he says that blender.org is not a community driven website. It belongs to the Blender Foundation which represents the Blender software. So best way IMHO wouldd be that the community build the galleries like on blenderartists.org. @ Dazzler: Blender is not about to die so speaking about survival is a bit exaggerated ;) Greetings Daniel / Genscher Hey,

Blender is built by the community for the community. Other applications need to sell themselves to make money to survive. We need to build community to survive. Or have I missed the point?
