Just a draft to see if I was able to do it.

Well it worked because it took me an extra second to notice the guy :byodood: nice effect!
That's some nice friggin stealth. Cool effect
This is just like one of my Japanese Animes!
Nice work.

He actually says that in the game :3
Editing is very well done, it also took me a moment to spot the invisible man.
Stunning effect.
Looks very good!
alright, seriously, enough with these "looks good." you're full of shit -- all of you.
there's absolutely no depth in this optical camouflage thing at all. ever heard of displacement maps? i'm sure you have if you ever read my posts -- especially you, pmnky, of all people, should know what displacement maps are to start off with
why didn't you use them? seriously. this is mediocre at best -- the only reason it's getting any praise is because people are asking themselves "how did he do that!!!" it's really not impressive at all. maybe if there was depth. maybe. but there isn't, so this picture isn't.
lost the facade, folks.
Your opinion isn't the same as ours, live with it, nobody gives a shit that you know what is a displacement map. In every single post you make, you're trying to show that you're better than all of us. Constructive criticism or not.

just because you think you're the only one here that knows what is good and what isn't doesn't mean you can't be polite.
[editline]02:56AM[/editline]
did I forget to mention you're an asshole?
Bullshit. I found the guy within 2 seconds, optical camoflauge my ass.

I hate people getting pedantic.
I didn't came here telling you all that it was my best work, pretending that I put a lot of work in it and that it is the best thing you ever saw. I don't even pretend being an ace.
You're like these guys shouting to everyone that they're not like the others because they fuck mainstream music. The only thing that makes you over the top is your propensity to be impolite and agressive when there's no need to be.
Thanks for the displacement maps tips, anyway.. Too bad for you I will, from now, perceive your work as a pretentious asshole's work.
Share and respect are two notions you seem to be not understanding. I simply don't "work" for fame or whatever.

Look, it's supposed to have a Metal Gear Solid feel to it, and it does that perfectly. My memory may not be the best, but I would say this is pretty darn close to what it was in the game.
they should divide this forum into 'people who can take criticism' and 'people who need to have their internet access revoked, by force if necessary'.
pmnky, i usually really like your work, but 5omeone is right. draft or not, it's something that you need to think about for next time you do this.
bubba, you're as bad as kurit was. if you can't accept crit - especially when it's for someone else in the first place - fuck off.
By the way, 308 persons read this thread. Only a few commented/rated it. That means what it means. People aren't stupid. Stop thinking for them.

There's a difference between giving criticism, and saying that everyone elses opinion is wrong. It's true, the effect doesn't have much depth, and displacements would help, but that doesn't mean I can't think it looks cool.

Nobody gives a shit that I know what a displacement map is because [i]they[/i] don't know what a displacement map is. I have the right to claim to be better than everyone else because, apparently, it's true.
I've tried to be polite. If you make an honest mistake I'm nice about it. If you continually make it or if you do it because you're a lazy asshole like pmnky here, then obviously you're getting on to my bad side. It's basic logic here, folks.

Their opinions are meaningless if all they do is give blind praise. Do you like Justin Beiber? Why don't you? After all, everyone else does.
Justin Beiber is a whiny kid with a whiny prepubescent voice and yet everyone loves him. Why? Because he does something that they can't -- sing shitty songs that get doused in editing to sound good, just like every Disney star. That's it. Same exact scenario works here: he does some "effect" that "looks good" just because you have no idea how to do it. It's still a shitty effect. He could do better, but he didn't, and that's probably because he knew he could get away with it because the average user base here is idiots. [b]I'm not here to tell you your pictures are good: I'm here to tell you to fix what's wrong.[/b] I don't have to be nice about it.

You were given the choice to post good, honest works in progress and ask for help, but you didn't. Instead, you just said it was a draft, meaning that you wrapped it up early and would never touch it again. I see past your ploy because I use my head. The entire reason you posted this is because you knew everyone else would go hogwild about it. The effect you achieved could be replicated exactly by throwing the Combine Ball material overlay on to it and it'd still look better than what you did solely because it has depth to it.
I would give honest advice and be nice about it, but to someone with your technical levels it's insulting that you can't even figure out the most remedial of things. You've disearned my trust the moment you posted this thread with your arms wide open for the mass of common posters who post solely to rub dicks and nothing else.

^^ What he said. I also agree with 65109 that it doesn't look realistic, but in this case that doesn't really matter because that's how it looked in the game, terrible looking or not.

You know man, you're exactly like Kurit. You might just be better at making poses than he was at making moons.

Oh, shot looks nice. Camouflage effect needs a bit of tuning though.

I can see how he did it, that's not that hard to figure out. And I agree that it could look better. But it doesn't change the fact that I like the way it looks. Everyone has their opinion. You think it looks bad, I think it looks good. Neither of us are going to change, and you are going to thing I'm an idiot, but it won't change anything.
I'm not saying that you can't give him critisism, I'm simply saying that people are entitled to their opinions.

You didn't come in voicing your opinion until after I did so you had the right of mind to explain why you had that observation. The morons before I posted solely stated an idle "good job" as if it means something without contributing any kind of assistance at all. You'd understand why I'm so angry all the time when it's pretty much every man for themselves while oddballs like RMS13 post a fantastic tutorial on the side that gets ignored/abused because it was too passive.
