[GALLERY] Saggy's Stuff

Telling someone to not use references when they model or do any art for that matter is like telling someone to play a video game with their eyes closed. Even professional game developers will usually at least sketch out a weapon or prop before they model it so that they can get a general idea of what goes where on the mesh. They may not use it as a direct reference but they will look at it.

That, and this guy is a beginner. Hell, I still use references for my models.

If you have no creativity, google or go on halomaps. Maybe play a few games to get some ideas of what you wanna do. Doom 3, Halo 3, Source Games, etc. There is no such thing as having no creativity, you're just not in the thinking mood. Wake up good one morning, take a nice long hot shower. You'll feel inspired, maybe, and then get on 3ds max and think up some stuff.

If you want to become good, or learn, it's hard. Nothing in this world that's easy is worth hanging on to.

Are you saying that using references for a 3D model is some how against "the rules"? What the fuck are you talking about? Either that post made absolutely no sense or you are claiming that is somehow against (I'm assuming) the site rules to use a reference image to create a 3D model. If that is the case, please proceed to ask the mods to ban every single 3D artist on the website except you, since you are the only one not using references apparently.

If that wasn't the intended meaning of your post then please rewrite it so I can properly understand your nonsense.

EDIT: Ok, I reread your post about 4 times and figured out what you were trying to say. I read your post from the beginning and I stand by what I said. It is perfectly fine to place a reference image in a viewport to base your model off of - it helps you make your mesh stay true to the original concept that you put on paper/in a file/whatever. Yes, having an original concept is perfectly fine and dandy and I'm all for people going out and making their own original content from scratch, but I think this guy should take baby steps before he tries to run a marathon so to speak. Otherwise we get idiots like SVC who are filled to the brim with ideas but can't implement them in a proper manner.

I implied you read what I said thuroughly, my word you came off as a blithering idiot. No offense intended yet again, just saying really read it through.

Also, I never said he shouldn't take babysteps. I just told him to maybe try taking off the training wheels that guide his bike along that sidewalk, if he doesn't do well and gets hurt well then go back to training wheels until he can finally go without em.

Woah, just found a bunch of old shit. Also, new shit at bottom.

Yeah, that looks legit.

Just remember that I did not make the front cover, only the back.

Now that I look at it, there are some parts I want to fix on my cover. Namely the boxes with the pictures inside.
