The head looks pretty good compared to what we're usually used to from you.
But eurgh, the body is just plain awfull.
The normals are also far too muted to do almost anything at all.
Come on guys. Fakefactory isn't as bad as you guys say it is. The map work is great and the models are optional. I mean look at this.

I have respect for FF because as much as you guys hate to admit it, a lot of work actually goes into this project of his.
I love the maps, but the models doesn't fit very well into HL2 Universe. They are even too cinematic to call it "Cinematic Mod". They fit better for something like " billion $ generic hollywood production with <<ambitious>> story starring Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and shit"

Hard work doesn't mean that something is good. The people who did the special effects put in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen hard work, but they still ended up with giant metallic testicles, even if Michael Bay is to blame.
I firmly believe if FF focused on modeling for GMod and rigged the models for posing purposes, they would be very good.
I heard good modelers say this to. I have been using his stuff for a long time. What ever your taste, you cannot deny the quality.
And the maps are stunning. Never heard anyone say different. Not anyone who knows a thing or two about mapping anyway.
They are just annoyed that you need at least 4 gb of memory to run it. Most have it now I would think.
And the models are optional. Run the originals if you like. Makes you wonder what the problem is.
God damn her mouth is huge.
[QUOTE=TheMask;37698095]I can't believe how many assholes are around here.
FF is pushing the Source engine to its limits with every
new version of CM. Those models are a nice little bonus
and are OPTIONAL. The texture work alone on those is outstanding.
If you don't like them. Fine. But don't act so rude to one of the
modders who's been busy the last few years, keeping source up to date.[/QUOTE]
He spent a lot of time on this I respect that, but it just doesn't look good. All his female models look weird and whoreish.
fakefactory,
As a texture artist in the source modding community since 2005, I thank you for your dedication to your craft and pushing the limits of the engine. Despite your questionable stylistic approach and your unwavering dedication to it, you have still produced some of the most striking work in the community as a whole. You have a firm grasp of source's shader system and show a commanding ability to manipulate it to get the most from your models and textures.
That being said, the models and textures you use don't line up with most of the community -at least this one- and most of them delve deep into uncanny valley. Others come off as tasteless or perverted, and most don't fit into the source/hl2 environment at all.
I'd be lying if I said I'd never used a patch of one of your old facemaps as a way to add to my own work; from a derivative standpoint, I thank you for your contributions to the community. If you stop, that's your choice. Good or bad, it's always interesting to see what you pull out of your sleeve when you do release things.
Wait, a Portuguese model? Don't tell me you're Portuguese, too. Or do you just appreciate our fine women?
Anyway, if this is your farewell, then good tidings for your future, whatever it may hold. You had a good run.
Well, Bon voyage.
You had a pretty bumpy ride with ups and alot of downs, I appreciated you're work though they could have met a different and more positive reaction if it was on another game not of half life 2.
I confess i've been part of the bandwagon on the "hating on this guy cause this model doesn't fit this game" act in the beginnings. You were one of those people who took pride in their work and disregarded all the challenge's and insult's and kept going, which i'm astounded , good sir.
It was a long trip down the o'l block but thing's change,
goodbye on the modding scene, FAKEFACTORY.
yeah guys lets all write him a letter as if hes not a poster on this forum

Bodygrouping doesn't seem to work.
EEK! FF is on FP! ALERT ALERT ALERT! :pwn:
wow!great job!THX!:smile:
Does this thread feel like something from 2006/7 to anyone else?
It just feels weird...

Well all suspicions as to why FakeFactory makes his models look like the way he does have been confirmed.
I see [i]someone's[/i] been learning the Source Filmmaker!
i'm to tired to write an interesting or coherent post but, ffs, either download the model and make porn for your self or don't and fuck off; you're not adding anything of value.
I don't understand you kids saying "OH HE PUT SO MUCH TIME AND DEDICATION INTO THIS! SO IT'S GOOD!"
To be honest, FF DOES make good maps and other shit, but his female models look like blow-up dolls you can get for 5 bucks at the sex shop.
It doesn't matter how much time or dedication you can put into something. The end result is what counts.
I ask smd or obj model.

It is not his taste we applaud. It is the quality of the textures and quite impressive face flexes. They were always good on his models.
The body and finger posing left much to be desired, but as I said before, his models was made for Cm, not GMod.
But the bandwagon who is the FP mob do not concern them selves with this simple fact. To much fun shitting on a guy who knows more about mapping and modeling
than they are likely to ever know. As I said! Taste, not skills is the issue here.
In my opinion as a failed modeller, what impresses me about FakeFactory is not only his dedication to his work, but the fact that the content he produces is very high quality.
Whether or not the people he makes is attractive is completely subjective, but I think that it'd be safe to say that, regardless of how attractive they are, they are very well-made.
I've personally never seen the appeal in FakeFactory women from an attraction perspective, but I can realize a high-quality build when I see one.

You get it. Wish the rest did.
I don't know which side to go to. The anti FFs or the pro FFs. The model is nice yet too dumb
let's just say that the model is silly and FF has ridiculously horrible taste okay
then the quality of the model itself doesn't even come into it
[QUOTE=Cone;37734193]let's just say that the model is silly [/QUOTE]
Yea another one of FF silly models I put to good use.

Not FF fault that some people can't pose for shit. But I guess it is easier to pose crappy models than quality ones.
I mean "silly" in the context of being meant for a serious, practical character. I mean, to each his own and all, but a bright red pocketless jumpsuit is an objectively impractical thing to wear if you want to go unnoticed. there's not even a tool belt or anything, just those useless and probably quite constricting straps.

I mean, let's be realistic here. if aliens came down and enslave all of Earth, members of the resistance would not attempt subterfuge wearing fashionable futuristic jumpsuits they inexplicably managed to find in the middle of an Orwellian post-apocalyptic dystopia. that is [I]the very definition[/I] of silly.
