Another Render I did of my friends project. Again, I was not allowed to touch any of the model, only textures/lights/decals/rendering. I wish I could.....I could do so much more...

Do teach kenney .

Also Katarn, where do you get the side refs of the gun? I've spent like an hour on google and I got nothing. And if you don't use side refs, how do you get everything correctly proportional?

Modern Firearms has a lot of stuff. The-Blueprints has some interesting things on it. Just google around for weapon blueprints or modern firearms or something to that effect and you should find somethng. Another good idea is to wiki in for example, sniper rifle or something like that and then look at the references and also the other links. Sometimes they have good stuff.

from me and my special e-hax. he confessed his love for me when i linked him to the huge reference images that had to be stitched together for epic high res side view.

guaranteed that those sites have nothing like what i got him

[Masterz1337]

I used to think that with practice and hard work, anybody could get good at modeling/textureing. But sadly, from what I've seen, this isn't the case. I've watched people on these forums try their best to get better, but regardless they continued to stay in mediocrity. I guess this whole field of art is talent based, and your either going to be awesome at it, or you will keep trying to aim for goal out of your reach. Keep in mind I'm not talking about newbies; I'm talking about people who have done it for a while, yet failed to get much better. Idk, maybe I'm wrong, but it sure looks like it.

well not only that llama, some of it could be lack of patience, lack of time and also poor planning. when working on big projects, you have to take ALOT of time and consideration towards it otherwise you're releasign a broken product (*glaces at the hiredgun staff--which dissolved-- screwing up halo 2 even more*). and yea some of it's talent, some of it's creativity, but most of it is time, practice and dedication to what you're doing

also looks good kenney! first an authentic headlong, now a skatepark? what's next?

Both are still WIP, and the handle is too fat on the spiker, but those will hopefully go into Sigma's projects.
