^^ it works every time, I know
Sorry I couldn't really understand your first sentence. If you are saying there shouldn't be a guideline stating that a model should be in a somewhat almost-finished state before being posted, then that could be parallel to you saying that there shouldn't be a guideline about releasing one's first map and that anyone can post a map, no matter how crappy or boxy it is.Quote:

In my opinion (because I know a lot of you will disagree with me), if veteran content creators helped others improve what they are trying to do, maybe there would be more quality content being released.
Agreed, if you post your content at a site where there aren't many veterans, then you can be expected to get comments like "oh wow super awesome" or "uberly great job!" If that were to happen, you can be misled into thinking that you have actually created quality content, whereas in the "real world," many others will look down on the content. Negatives are what help you improve, as long as it is constructive and doesn't discourage you from completing your work.Quote:

Cause then I did the mature thing and put my ego aside and actually listened to these great veterans and was able to exceed increasingly.
So moral of the story = shut up + listen + take criticism like a man = Better skill.
Sorry, i got two people mixed up forget this part >.<
offtopic: Well, how about this... if someone releases their first boxy map (or model or whatever) and gets all the abuse that they will get here but then actually learns from that mistake and starts trying much harder... well then what?
<looks to self as a good example>
I get it if someone posts something too early and then nvr improves on it or even tries... then that was a total mistake in the first place.
Maybe we need a new forum for new modelers, that way the vets can avoid it altogether if they want.. no need to fight over it then since the line is clearly demarcated... 'new boxy crappy I'm just learning stuff' on one side and professional (or nearly professional) stuff on the other side. The new ppl can learn from the professional posts and can post their work at the other 'boxy crappy I'm just learning' forum.
I don't know, I just think it looks so bad when I go through a lot of threads and see more ranting and flaming than actual commentary and feedback.
ontopic: ummm, I want new pics of the model Hunter. Bring 'em here.
I'm surprised that no ones come here yet to put a stop to this madness...
madness??Quote:
