Hi,
That incident reguarding the works of "vonfranck" was a storm that would have happened even if the picture that was removed had been permitted to remain. I did not notice the picture in question when it was here, but based on its description I encounted it at another site last night.
I have found more of his works at Rendervisions and based on posting dates, they were all old works by the time he started posting them here.
The pictures following that one are even more troublesome.
One is titled "Getting Naked for the Lord", it a large number of naked people in various positions, the people are a combination of rendered and camera photographs blended together, including one camera photograph of a naked man holding a bibile. This is the worst pert of the picture because that man body is of one person that was combined with the head showing the clearly identifiable face (photograh not rendering) of the famous evangelist preacher Billy Graham.
Another of his works is titled "Queen Demimoore vrs the Empire". It again features a multitude and naked people both rendered and photographic bombing a department store. The leader of the attackers has the face of the actress Demi Moore, (just as the title states). The department store that they are attacking is WalMart. A very big chain of department stores here in the United States.
Also I saw the same pattern took place at Rendervisions as it did here. I saw no evidence of the blow up that happended here. However, they (the gojira gang) were the ones who mostly commented on those works. After a short time the all left Rendervisions in April. While there they were there, they spoke about how they were mistreated at "The other place". Which was easily identied in those discussions as Renderosity.
How did I find this? I was posting my latest picture there and the little box on the edge of the page that shows a random picture from the gallery happened to show one of vonfranck's, the one that was removed here.
