@renardin- Heard of smoothing groups? I see none. Or does renegade not support them? If not, you can split the edges and achieve the same effect.

Could also just be your render.

Hope that GDI symbol on the hovertank isn't mirrored exactly on the other side. Would be... unfortunate.

It's not mirrored. And I am not a 3d artist. I do only the texture work, I would be happy to show you more once we can chat. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

might come off as a little offensive, but i guess someone has to say it...

have you thought about learning to model in general, rather than trying to copy existing characters? it seems like you still don't have a firm grasp of basic forms yet, so why move on to something so difficult right away?

[Rwolf]

MAUL0r: Lol yeah, It did started to look like Panthro halfway modeling the head. So much for my design process...

He means which he said. Forms (shapes, etc) which are basic (simple, big, essential).

Art is hard. Quit looking at this like ceegee, and start looking at it like art. You're starting to show potential, but if you wanna get good you need to step back and take this seriously. Don't make a vague man with dante's hair and sword, if you want dmc's dante. Make dante. His arms, his torso, his legs, his feet, his face, etc.

... Your model looks like a guy in a coat. Dante looks like
this (http://www.abbyshot.com/newsletters/photos/dante-dmc03.jpg) . Rectify.

[Marshal Banana]

Alright. Is it just the head that is inaccurate, or is it the whole thing?

[Thegodzero]

What are you trying to make a super low poly dante, or a recreation of dante in DMC3? Because you are either too hipoly for a low poly and way to low poly for a game recreation model.

At this point id say making a super low poly dante would be better suited for your skills.

[/ QUOTE ]

no

and actually, what i meant was get a firm grasp of the shapes that make up a person, before moving onto actual characteristics, try modeling a series of blank, or generic heads, lots of hands, lots of torsos etc. until your models start to actually resemble how a human really looks.

also, my advice would be to try modeling every single person on this site:
http://www.heads.thnom.com/

once you understand how the human head is made, like the bone and muscle structures, not just the face. and you can make your heads look like some of those portraits, you'll have an understanding of how likeness art works, and you can move onto recreating characters.

[zenarion]

gir is on to something here. your dante does not have that bishonen style from the game, that means, he is too manly and has no androgynous features.

it's cool Per don't worry. at the end of the day we all have our own way of learning, but at the same time, there are definately things you should try to learn first, all i was trying to get at was that he doesn't seem to know how a head should be built, and that exercise could help...

i modeled a whole lot of them myself, just for the experiance, i did about 15 or something...

Once I get enough of them rendered I'll add em to the scene for a final nice presentation.

[notman]

I think you should tone down that texture for your dumpster. It looks like a texture you just colored green :/ I don't think you'd have the same kind of run marks on the back.

[Jay Evans]

and you should change the name on that dumpster sign:P haha

[Thegodzero]

That dumpster need alot more love before id call it done. Get it so it looks good with just diffuse then make a spec map for it.
Not color green add three signs and a tag then overlay a metal dripping texture and call good. Its never good when someone can see the exact texture you used to overlay, at least mask out parts of it...

BTW that better be your number on that sign...

[rawkstar]

Pope Adam: I'm wondering, you said this model was for a game modeling class, did your teacher say its ok to subdivide a real time game model?

I mean... if he did he should be fired immediately...

[Illusions]

The tag on the back also doesn't look realistic. Its an incredibly pristine, un-weathered, bright white, that doesn't appear to show any of the underlying texture of the dumpster.

[Jeremy Lindstrom]

Thanks, I fixed some of the stuff, will continue to work on it though. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Baddcog]

Pope, that lizard is sick. Used to catch horny toads all the time as a kid.

hmmm.?? Maybe that's my problem /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I think he just rendered it at 1 iteration. Not that he actually used the tesalated mesh for the game model.

[Blaizer]

More progress on this guy, it started as a simple head for a timelapse, and i added him a full body ^^. This render is with the low res subdiv model, still much detail to go.

hey MoP great work all around ! I'm not SUPER fan of the head shape, huge forehead etc, but the rest of the body is just top notch !

Hey Renaud, thanks a lot. Yes, the render is from modo, like all the work of modelling. Its renderer is quite simple and really fast.

RobG - Sweet paint! (i think its a paint) I love the washed style you have there
Spitty - looks very accurate.
Blaizer - looking kickass. Looks like I need to do some messing around with modo.
MoP - Wow. I think the cloth lays pretty well around the mid-section, all over actually seems to make good sense. The outfit is fairly similar to that of a cheerleader, you could look at some photos of cheerleaders if you can find ones with more conservative uniforms (that have a mid-section in them). She seems to have very wide hips in proportion to her shoulders/waist... could be the angle, could be just me, or maybe she's just draggin' a wagon? /images/graemlins/smile.gif I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished.

Just working on some modeling/texturing for environmental art portfolio. It is mostly hand painted, with a few photosource layovers. Looking to finish this one up very quickly (...like an all day burst tomorrow, while I'm off my shitty night job). Any last minute suggestions?

[commander_keen]

boomz, that doesnt look like solar panels, the specular shouldnt have really any bump except maybe some general wavyness of the glass. also you probably need to make a special shader to really get it looking good.

[Pope Adam]

yeah, the model itself is in fact about 5k poly... and i did the render with a single meshsmooth itereation just for shit and giggles.

True, them shits aint free and my instructor does not condone it for working game models. I'll make a small post later of the model rendered without the smooth on it... not a huge difference anywho. :P

I like this a lot. Reminds me of the aliens from Abyss for some reason.

More explanation of the technique is needed. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[thinsoldier]

see the link under the image
not really any technique to it

random crap on a layer (human shaped thing at the top)
duplicate that layer
flip it
change blending mode
and move it around left/right and see if anything interesting happens where the 2 layers overlap.

If only I could repaint what I think I see with some detail /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[CheeseOnToast]

Boomz, try replacing the spec on the solar panels with an environment map. There's much fancier ways to do it (like linking spec colour to fresnel parameters, so the colour changes depending on the viewing angle), but an envmap should do the job nicely I think. At the moment it looks way too noisy, when solar panels are pretty damn smooth.

Quick and dirty way to test it: create a ramp texture (under Maya 2d textures in the hypershade). Middle mouse drag it to the shader used on the panels. Choose "other" from the dialogue box that pops up then choose "out colour" from the left column, and "reflected colour" fromn the right. Should at least give you a starting point, but you'll want to change the default ramp colours to something more solar panel-y.

[Japhir]

i think, generally speaking, it looks more like plastic than metal. have you tried adding some noise to the specular map? maybe a bit more contrast? it doesn't have that harsh falloff that metal has when it shines.

There is almost no contrast on the thing. Everything almost appears to be made of the exact same material. It also seems to lack some Ambient Occlusion. And the normals don't seem to be popping as good as they could be (which makes the AO that much more important in this case).

It also looks like you have scratches that go across extruded piece (that are in the normal). One thing you can do to make a normal map look that much more convincing is to treat it as if it were truly 3d, when you texture it. It's not very likely that something would be able to scratch the flat piece, continue scratching up the side of the extruded piece, across the top, and repeat that two or three more times, without ever breaking the actual scratch. So try and break those up a bit. Remember, overlays are a good start to a texture, but you can't just expect to throw down a couple of overlays, and have it work out perfectly.

While handpainting textures is very noble, and really cool if it can be pulled off, it's not really practical to handpaint everything in textures anymore. The results/time it takes to just use photo textures as a base pays off in the end. Again, not saying hand painting is bad or anything, just way more reasonable to do photos, especially trying to get as much in your portfolio as possible.

Erm...not really. It all depends what sort of style you're going for.

[EarthQuake]

No really, using some source will speed up your process in just about 90% of situations, even stylistic stuff, i mean unless the style is just being able to see all the brush strokes total hand painted look.... I use source in nearly everything i do, does that mean my work lacks style? Of course not, it just means i get done twice as fast as the people that think using source is a sin.

[Justin_Meisse]

custom brushes help with stylistic stuff, I recently started using various noisy brushes with slight hue, saturation and brightness jitters to lay down a nice base to work from. All thanks to Doc Rob

[coldwolf]

Yeah, the brush options are a blast and immensely helpful, but IMO there's no substitute for the real world as a base. I mainly use brushes for grunge and grime etc and just use photos for truly convincing things like wood, dirt and other grounds, vegetation, and even caution signs and graffiti (what? I don't have time to bomb my assets!). On the other hand, things like metal/plastic/rubber are better/faster when done by hand (and augmented by shaders).

Also, there's something to be said for procedurals--they're getting pretty damn good, especially with tools like MapZone.

Honestly, I'm just happy to hear a veteran like EQ saying what I've been doing is common practice /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Armanguy]

Ive been handpainting most of my textures on my most recent pieces my sweet tooth model is all handpainted so is the wasroom models and this current one im doing but i have noticed a few things that i dilike about hanpainting all my models i use a mouse so its alot of work. i just started a Gears of war scene that i will be using both hand painted and photosourced textures.

(Nice tiger warior on your site! )

http://kakikukeko.free.fr/still/3dstudies/fetishinside2.jpg

[Davision3D]

@ Rwolf
I dont like your skin texture, looks like a simple cloud effect to me. Think about where more warm color is visible an where more of the colder skin color is visible. Taking your own skin as reference is very helpfull. You could also use the ups and downs of the anatomy for changing the color of the skin.
Blue and the skin orange is a very wide color range, you may want to overthink it. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
Another thing are the tattos, they look very random and that they all over him makes it even worse! I suggest making them small and the shapes more close belonging together.
The model is great now give the texture the love it deserves! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Looks like very good high poly modeling and like a lot of work. The back of the car looks strange to me, maybe just too round.

[multivac]

some more work on this steampunkish train thingy ive been making on my free time(i might actually get enough time to start on the engine and steam pipings on my winter break /images/graemlins/ooo.gif) still 100% diffuse,no baked lightmaps yet either.

[Armanguy]

Working on this hallway what does everyone think about the color choices and texturing what needs to be changed? I still need to add light fixtures on the wall and add a floor/Roof and dirty it up with some decals. the door and wall are both normal mapped from high-poly models.

[TheFrog4u]

2324 tris, 3x512, diffuse only (oldschool):

crits welcome!

[Johny]

looks cool althou you can see what was photosourced and what was handpainted . was that based on arsh basemesh ?

[TheFrog4u]

right.. but only basic shapes.. remodeled most of it though.. photosourced is just the breast, belly and pockets

[aesir]

head seems a bit too big.

Really cool, and I dig the strap work you've got going there. Intricate, yet plausible and functional. I think the tattoos are just right.

Taking a break from my main project to sculpt a barbaric warrior. Using Arshlevon's basemesh, and it's rendered in Vidar Rapp's Skin_02 matcap for ZBrush 3.

[Flewda]

The wood is really not convincing IMO. For the most part it looks like it's just a cloudy brown texture. Also, it looks like you are lacking ambient occlusion again. The door to the farthest left (the one that's cut off) has the normals popping really well there, because of the angle and the lighting. But the one in the middle has it popping less, and the furthest one is even worse. You should really try to get some more AO in there. Same goes for all the crown molding and the wainscoting. A normal map goes a long way, but only if the lighting is perfect in every shot you do. That is not always going to be the case (especially in games, where you can't strategically place the camera to avoid that).

The back wall is very brightly lit, but the left wall corner (where it meets with the back wall) gets really dark. That's something you should look into.

There is nothing unique feeling in there. Every asset you have in the scene is repeated a lot. It's not catching my attention to be honest. Like you said, you need to add decals, and a lot of them. Try your best to make every inch look as unique as possible (within reason of course). Having a good grunge/damage decal can go a long way if you rotate it around. Can avoid making it look so repetitive.

Is this supposed to be like a mansion/estate hallway? Or is it a hotel/apartment? If it's a hotel or something, you should add some room numbers on or next to the doors (you could do this in a decal so that each door could have a unique #). And maybe add a key area as well.

For such a simple scene, you might want to go a little more detailed with the geometry. Extrude out the actual wainscoting and crown molding. Will add a little more depth to the scene.

Not sure what the theme of this is going to be (scary/dark, grungy, clean etc) but if you are going for an older not so well maintained, I'd suggest adding some decals to make some of the wall paper ripped, etc.

Just some observations. Just make sure you get that AO stuff fixed /images/graemlins/wink.gif if you have some ao in the texture already, try multiplying it ontop of itself another time or two.

[SupRore]

More of this, managed to eke out another sub level (7, from a box) and tried to get more skull anatomy into it, as suggested by FunkyBunnies.

thanks for the crit flewda i dont like the wood either i played GoW today and the wood in the mansion is alot more grainy and very realistic i might have to use some photosourced textures.

[MoP]

OK, so I got the lowpoly built, exactly 5000 triangles including knives (not shown in this pic since I haven't done the highpoly for them yet). There are also 3 other scrolls around her back which you can't see from this angle.

damn Mop, amazing work.
the wireframe looks very sweet!

my only comments would be that her elbow/lower arm looks a bit funky, though that might just be the angle/lighting... or me

[kakikukeko]

sorry nothing to post, but I had to asspat Mop.. really amazing work! /images/graemlins/smile.gif the model is very nicely proportioned and quite charismatic.. if your textures are as good as your normal map, that will really kicks ass!! can't wait to see the next step! /images/graemlins/wink.gif
(wow that was so constructive..)

[JKMakowka]

The feet and the face really isn't quite the same quality as the rest, thus I don't join into this MoP fanboyism /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[MoP]

Cheers folks. I always suck at modelling feet, seems this one isn't much better. The face is going to get some tweaks too, it's not quite soft enough at the moment, and the silhouette is too angular.

[Gmanx]

Mop - Awesome work as usual - the feet are all in the ankles, put ankles on her and she'll be right.

[Japhir]

@thefrog4u: love the texture! i might be wrong and i'm sorry if i am, but it does look a lot like this texture that i found on the web a long time ago: http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/4020/malebaseskinnu8.jpg
it was a texture that was used for some kind of shirt design competition somewhere.
did you use this as your base or something?

@mop: great stuff! as usual.

A piece of friendly advice would be not to continue using other peoples work without mentioning them or you might find that a lot of people will be pretty reluctant to work with you in the future.
It's actually an ok technique you're using you just need to to pay your dues where it's needed.

Hey hooo... to clear some things:
Mesh: BASED on Arsh´s but as said remodeld much parts. Used Arshs Mesh mainly to get the basic shapes right. The head for example was completely done by me.
HeadTexture: Used Ancient-Pig´s tutorial to paint my own.. used the texture creatied by him as ref, but did not copy and paste it.. thought this is what a tut is made for?
I already said that the breast was photosourced and I never said I took the Foto by myself.. this breast was given free by an older pcgame to create own textures.
And lower body is 100% my own work.. I can garantie (even the photosourced pockets (as said) where taken from a foto I made on my own.. and the shoes where painted in bodypaint (the only part which I painted in Bodypaint. I usaly like painting in paintshop pro more)

And last but not least I´m not a professional and I don´t ever will work for the game industrie. I just work on 3d chars for fun.. I don´t even have a portofolio. So I´m not earning any buck with this stuff.

And if someone is interested here are some older chars of me.. this time 100% self created.. but as said older and thus net that quality:

[Japhir]

nothing wrong with using reference or anything, but if you just copy and paste stuff you should at the very least post where you got it from or in some cases even ask the artist/photographer that made the stuff. I am not accusing you or anything(maybe some others are /images/graemlins/tongue.gif) but next time mention where you get your stuff from because now we thought you did all of this yourself. (except some parts of the model)
the head texture is nice and i like your skeleton model.

I don't really give a damn, but some might. Like I said, not a big deal to me so don't take that the wrong way. /images/graemlins/smile.gif I laughed. Anyway:

I've been working on this for a while. I posted a WIP some time ago. I just finished it a week ago. C&C welcome and appreciated.
http://www.roryjones.net/gallery/solar/images/solar-beauty.jpg

[SupRore]

Hey boomz, what kind of context is that intended for? If it's a shooter or action game or something with a low to the ground camera perspective, i'd say the texel density is way off. Blurry screen and console + highly detailed upper supports and solar panels? That's stuff which is above the player's head most of the time, while the things in plain sight look muddy and low res.

If it's intended for an rts or other mostly top-down game, though, I guess it works. Pretty good texturing either way.

bit of practice/fun

[MoP]

Why all the polys, ruz?

[Ruz]

erm I don't know he he.
basically when i reduced the polycount much further, the poor vertex shading started making my bake look a bit rubbish, hence the extra cross sections.
Also I didn't really feel the need to optimise the hell out of it as it not part of any game spec as such, so polycount was not really an issue

[adam crockett]

Ruz, your phone looks cool, but I think those scratches are in non-sensical places. I suggest leaving them there (sometimes things get scratched in random places) , but adding more, concentrating on edges and corners that would catch on keys and change in pockets and purses, and along edges and corners that would take impact if dropped on the floor or skidded across a table. Just a suggestion.

Is there an interior?

[Ruz]

thats a fair point really.I will have a look at that aspect cheers:)
no interior, though in hindsight it would have been easier to do that. ah well this is my first real try at doing tech stuff

[boomz]

SupRore: It was geared towards a first person rpg, so the texel density should be shifted accordingly. Good point. I had that in my mind, but for some reason I think I was trying to pull the overall piece off in this position, rather than from the in-game perspective. More meticulous UV planning would have helped a lot. I found myself wedging certain things in after the majority of the map was set and some painted, eek. You live and learn. Thanks! I'll keep everything in mind for the next piece I do, which I will concept soon (and will hopefully be a level-chunk, so texel ratio will be high priority).

thanks Ruz.

Yeah, taking the cloths and hands into zbrush so it will look alot more integrated with the head. so are these pieces you're doing contract work or just doing it for fun?

demoncage - yea, pretty much how I see it. If they don't like it, screw 'em. I just didn't know if any mods would hassle you on it. They're cool around here though so I doubt it. I just avoid bitch fits as much as possible.

My piece was fan-art for the upcoming Stargate MMO. It was one of the only concepts that was available at the time and most other concepts had been realized in 3d already, so no sense in making something that they've already completed in 3d.

Your mobster guy is shaping up quite a bit, can't wait to see the sculpt with all of the cloth folds n such. The silhouette concerns me because it is pretty plain, though, its a guy in a suit so not much you can do about it. I'm torn between suggesting giving him more shape (anatomically, adding muscle or slightly exaggerating his features like slenderness) or leaving him as is. will he have any accessories, guns knives grenades moltov?

I think the crotch of the pants might come a little high for my comfort... or the comfort of that character haha. Not sure, but it could maybe use a drop.

You are also using the work you did for me in your CV, and given that you have not finished the contract it's a bit rich. I have sent you countless PM's, Emails, Phone Calls etc.

I urge Admins to leave this post here as TS_Falcon was paid to do a job and never completed it. Given that he refuses to respond to PM, Email and Phone Calls this is most likely the last resort.

Looks awesome sama, bobo. Ironbear, I liked the lowpoly a lot, but I'm not really digging the highpoly face. I think the lips and eyes together are what do it, gives her a weird, staring, perplexed look.

I shed a tear when i saw that bobobobo.

[Gav]

hawt Bobo

[vahl]

awesome bobo, reminds me of the turtle in over the hedge, looks as cute /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Damn Bobo, that geo is tight!

Some texture reworks/touchups for xrucifix. Left is original, right is rework. Characters will also apparently be in game at < half that size, so feel free to ignore the texture seam on the purple guy's shoulders. >.>

fogmann: Little late with this, but...
He's looking real nice. Couple things look odd. His right side is very crisp which screams "cg". As for likeness, I'm sure you've come across more ref than I found, but from the few pictures on this (http://www.037info.net/0poznati/?Pozori%9Ate%2C_film%2C_TVTa%9Ako_Na%26%23269%3Bi% 26%23263%3B) site, his head looks longer than how you've modeled it (maybe it's the hat). Also, the eyebrow strands are long and scattered instead of looking like one mass (http://www.mladina.si/tednik/200535/clanek/kul--dvd-marcel_stefancic_jr/img/dvd-davitelj_inline.jpg). But if you're calling it finished, thats fine by me! =]
By the way, your Sam is looking wicked.

tennis, tores: Tugs at my low-poly heart strings <3

obson: Been diggin' the progress on this guy!

BoBo: oh mai gawd, so cute =3

[larolaro]

Just playing about, not happy with it, going to try again tonight.

[multivac]

looking good,RobG
how do you texture those things,looks like just planar mapping in some places?

[ThatDon]

What ever that thing is Rob, it's pretty damn cool!

[larolaro]

Thanks guys, Yeah i planar map everything because im lazy, Most of the time i feel that its all thats necessary.

[Johny]

i love your style rob !

[dfacto]

Honestly, if you just threw in two cap segments for the large bottom piece and the finer tubes up top you'd hardly notice it.

Love your work, and especially your models. Someone needs to hire you to make a game, because you've got way too much style to ignore. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Rwolf]

thats a neat style you got there Rob, If the aliasing was on I would start to mistake it for a illustration.

Anyway I finally lit my guys head on fire.

http://www.trevortang.net/3D/wip/beasthair.jpg

[demoncage]

agreed, that thing looks sweet rob. likin' the hair Rwolf.

adjusted the proportions to make him look more intimidating/thug like:

http://www.ent3d.com/bortmeyer_09.jpg

[Ruz]

demoncage, think you need to beef him up a little if you are going for the thug look.

[demoncage]

thanks Ruz, how is he coming across right now?

would you say he passes as a hitman at least?

[Marshal Banana]

Nasty looking scythe
http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l43/Marshal_banana/nastyscythe.jpg

Not quite done with the texture.

[Ruz]

yeah, he looks hitmanish for sure demoncage, its just depends what kind you want.

I think the look you are going for is kind of stylised and works fine. you could bulk him up though and turn him in to more of the 'bouncer' kind of thug. it your call really.

I see him more of a sniper right now, rather than a piano wire man:)

[Davision3D]

http://www.daxx-web.de/bilder/zombie.jpg
Suggestions for making him more ugly are welcome! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[demoncage]

i was actually intending more the tough guy look, so decided to give him a little beef job. hopefully this is working better. i'm a little nervous about the stylized comment, do you mean in terms of body proportions or are you just referring to the clean sub-d clothes without all the folds and shit? i don't mind if it looks a little idealized but definitely want it to come across as realism in the end.

http://www.ent3d.com/bortmeyer_10.jpg

[Ruz]

I thijki it was the cleanness of the lines for the stylisation comment.
perhaos his pants could be slightly baggier, more folds gathering etc
I think his hands are a bit thin/childlike also and his legs are a bit spindly.
Quite ofen you see these bouncers in night clubs where they can barely fit in their suits, like gorillas

[demoncage]

thanks for the crits. like i mentioned, the folds will be coming. i agree about the pants needing some slack at the bottom. hands will be going into zbrush for some beefing up. i kinda want to keep a top heavy feel to him though, so don't think i'll be massifying the legs too much.

[SupRore]

At the moment, demoncage, he doesn't look topheavy so much as he looks light at the top and even absurdly lighter at the bottom. He looks like a hitman who'd get snapped like a twig by his first mark.

Aside from that, looking good.

[demoncage]

hmmm, some winning comments there.

anyone besides ruz have something valid to say?

[kiril0t]

He still looks like a wus, he looks more like the sleazy russian who runs the joint and dsnt get his delicate hands dirty. He needs some brawn and beef if youre goin for the thug thing, make it look like hes used his hands, broken them a coule of times, and that prety face of his shouldnt be that prety if hes a thug and has taken a punch before. give him character. he dsnt instantly read thug, he does read mafia/criminal but not thug, keep pushin even beyond my quick paintover

[/ QUOTE ]

Let me rephrase, then. :\

His neck is thicker than his upper arms, and he has the shoulders of a 15 yearold boy. That doesn't read as menacing thug, it reads as someone who is trying and failing to look tough. I see those as being valid things to point out, unless you want your hitman to look disproportionate and fragile.

[demoncage]

go beyond your paintover? i don't know if that's possible.

[Ruz]

I think the paintover by kiril0t is in the right ball park. makes him look slightly menacing, but not too huge

[demoncage]

lol, c'mon ruz. suprore, dude, it's not what you're critiquing that's the problem, it's the fact that it was so openly condescending without any provocation. is there some personal problem you need to get off your chest? what's wrong honey? like i said, hands are going into zbrush.

[Ruz]

ha ha,I am staying out of this one:)

They gave you solid, decent crits demoncage, chill. I didn't really sense any insults or condescension in their comments.

Take their advice and try not to be so defensive... gonna have to learn how to take harsher crits than that if you ever want to be a happy professional artist.

Truth.

[demoncage]

eh, that's fucking horseshit. the truth of the matter is a. this is not a work environment and he's not my art director. b. there are alot of artists registered on these boards that are better than me, but i'm one of the better artists on these boards, and if i were well established in the industry suprore would be eating the jiz out of my garbage can, which is not to imply that that's what i want because i don't really give a fuck, but some prior acknowledgement would be nice before you start making cocky remarks. c. even if the person making that critique had the credentials to back up the attitude and it was the first time they'd spoken to me on a public forum i'd be like "what the fuck is wrong with this dude?" d. this guy is not even in the same league as me but he's coming at me like he's got years on me after i've busted my ass for 4 years to get as good as i am. e. you can critique my model all you want and i'll take all of it in, that's why i post, but if you're going to be coming at me like that out of the blue on a public forum, your shit better be as good or better than mine, otherwise fuck you.

When exactly did waywo devolve into 'my art is better than ur art!!!'?

I'm not even going to get into childish squabbling over which of us is more proficient, it's completely irrelevant. I gave you valid critiques in a civil manner, and you've taken them rather horribly. Why you're still even posting about this is beyond me, you've made it clear you aren't interested in crits from me on this model and i've stopped giving them. No need to reduce yourself to personal attacks and idiotic ranting just because your feelings got hurt, or whatever. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Let's try and keep this out of this thread, though? If you just want to rant about how much better of an artist you are than me, and how that invalidates any critiques I might give you, it's probably better to clutter up my PM box instead of this thread.

[Johny]

lol...no really lol.

demoncage , i would look at the paintover that was offered to you and seriously consider doing cloe to that , so right now your model doesnt seem beeffy /images/graemlins/frown.gif the hand also seem a tad too skinny, and you say it will be revised on zbrush so ill wait and see /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Also people in this board tend to be harsh , but in my opinion thats the best critics you can ever ask for . Suprore for some reason is acting like a pretentious prick, but it doesnt mean he doesnt have valid points, and i would reread the critc that were made to make your piece better /images/graemlins/smile.gif

PEACE BITCHES

[Ryno]

Kind of the point of posting something here for critiques is to get criticism. It's great for people not working in production currently to get feedback from other artists, just as they would in a work environment. It's this type of exchange that has elevated a lot of the hobbyists here to top-notch industry pros.

Why you are getting upset about some people's critiques is beyond me. They are trying to help you with the quality of your work, whether they are right or wrong in their suggestions. Feel free to disagree with them, as there's nothing wrong with that. But to turn this into some sort of personal conflict is just silly.

Either take their advice, or don't. It's your art, and you can do what you want with it. There's no call for insults or anger.

[Geezus]

@demoncage:

QQ less...refer to Geezus' signature.

kiril0t's paintover screams style. I'd take that and roll with it. Additionally, SupRore has valid critiques for you. He isn't your art director, but he is a member of this community, like you. The only condescending/personal attacks I've seen are coming from you. Chillax, take it in, and let it help you create better art.

@davision3d: Lookin' kickass bud, is that snot coming from his nose or maggots? Do you plan on stopping here or going full out lowpoly/texture? Love the decaying ear. Needs more boils!

[snemmy]

if you want full on critiques and point/counterpoint discussions then make your own thread about your work and have this discussion there.

stop cluttering the WAYWO with this trash

[Lee3dee]

you need to check in that attitude at the door, if you want constructive criticism post on polycount, if not post your work on the 1up forums.

[demoncage]

oh suprore, you make me feel so sheepish.

first of all, i was rebutting the ensuing posts, otherwise i wouldn't have posted anything.

second, hmm, if this was a forum for writers and some hackass poet started making crude comments about a piece from a better writer that he'd never spoken to before, would it be beyond assumption to think that that writer might feel a tinge of hostility towards the comments? hmmm. tinker tinker.

[demoncage]

i'm going to say this one more time. i have no, *no* issues with people critiquing my work. if you look back you'll see that me and ruz had no problems...i'll leave it to you guys to figure out the rest. i think it's bullshit, and i think alot of this rock throwing is political. so, whatever. i'm not saying the points critiqued were not valid, but i think the delivery was total b.s. *end*

[Sayanora]

Are you still talking? SupRore NEVER said anything to warrant the kind of response you gave him. A wise man just mentioned that you should have left your squabbling to pms or email.

I think it's likely that you blew everything Sup said out of proportion and turned some otherwise helpful criticism into an attack that never happened.

[The3DGuy]

which comment of SupRore's was so condescending?

[/ QUOTE ]
No, because it's always safe to assume that someone completely lacks the ability to receive good, constructive criticism. That, however, is their own fault and shouldn't stop people from offering it. It also helps weed out the immature folk from the forum (which has nothing to do with age, experience, or skill level), such as you.

Your hostile response was completely out of the blue and not even the slightest bit warranted. I had to go back and read the previous posts to find out what the hell you were talking about and I still can't find it.
