Less drama please and more content.
As a reminder of what great concept art looks like, here's a photo stream of the amazing LaroLaro and I would like for everyone of us to achieve this level of quality in our work.

[QUOTE=Radaghast;47179652]Still not giving the feedback as I see?
I will take that as your opinion is based on me, instead of my work.
The session is done.[/QUOTE]
B-but senpai, your work is shit (*≧ω≦)

Anyways, here's a sneek peek for something Merczy, Sedi, and I are working on. Old under developed wip of a rivet gun of sorts, we've got a new version with some slight modifications coming up soon (changes to the trigger and the pressure canister on the back that seems a bit too much like the syringe guns thingy). Its a smaller part of a larger project we're working on so be warned, there's some shit headed your guy's way!

I decided to try and make a decent Medic coat.

Just my 2 cents, but I feel it would be better with a different visual detail on the front instead of text, like a little medic symbol or maybe a yellow stripe running along the side. I've always disliked text on weapons, it just feels weird and out of place.

Do keep in mind he's a human being and had to overcome a lot of hardships and challenges to get to that level.
Takes a high amount of dedication and perseverance to make it look easy.
Ok guys, having a bit of a problem.
The specular for one of my materials is WAYYY too shiny, and i dont understand why. I did them the same as all of my other wood-type textures, but no matter what i do it still is too shiny. I tried remaking the texture, checking the .vmts/.vtfs, recompiling the model, redoing the .qc, but nothing i've done makes the problem better.

However, when i turn off the specular, the problem corrects itself.

any help?

remove the comment lines ( // ) on the bits that are the envmaptint, and basemapalphaenvmapmask
[QUOTE=EliaMoroes;47179429]As a lurker on this thread, I've noticed that there is a pattern about you all and how you behave towards Radaghast and S3pirion that repeats itself over time. Here it is:
1) They upload or propose something questionable
2) You tell them why you think their concept or models should require some more work
3) They get defensive
4) In an effort to be polite, you give useful suggestions to them in the most objective way possible
5) They decide to follow these suggestions and change their works
6) Everyone is happy and constructive. They even release something, sometimes
7) Repet step 4, 5 and 6 for a set period of time
8) Restart from point 1[/QUOTE]
Except for the fact that i am still accepting feedback, and really haven't picked a fight with other people for a long time. And even if you think i'm being defensive, i'm trying really hard not to be, because i actually want to be a good modeller (Like Sparkwire, SVDL, Jpras, jukebox, psyke, Etc.)

That didn't help, it just made the specular show up all the time, even when the specular is turned off
[QUOTE=TheJukebox;47179681]
[B] Self reflection is very important to being an artist, or anything really. [/B][/QUOTE]
Let this statement be the artist gospel. The art world is a hectic world where you can devote days and nights to a handcrafted project of your imagination, and then release it to the world only to have it torn to shreds by the crit process and your peers. Perhaps we're working with art that is less mainstream, but it still isn't an exception. Knowing how to look back on what you've made and distance yourself from your work if needed is everything sometimes. I worked hard on that stupid volcanic pistol because I wanted to learn. Making the pistol itself was secondary to learning how to improve. Having people like anything I make is not a goal to be sought, it's a side effect of doing well on something I enjoy.
At least that's how I've come to know it. I hate to see the emporium argue like this.

I'd say to just lower the envmaptint to something like .1 .1 .1 or whatever values you are fancy, and to make a phongmask because that controls speculation too
I am really anxious to get something out here
Flubbman and I are on the fence about the design for engineer's henchman jumpsuit. any suggestions for that?
i suggested we use the shape of the straps on his overalls to strap on a backpack like the henchmen have, so that the arms dont need anything modelled over them, which saves tris and rigging effort.

Thanks, this helped, i found out that the cubemap i was using was messing up the entire thing, and that i didn't really need it, so i removed it.

You're right. You're a complete retard because you think it's alright to keep on posting shit like this. You're the one who is making the problem worse, not us.
Been meaning to ask this for a while, but how many pixels of padding do you guys usually use between your UV shells?
Say for a 512 texture:

like people have told you countless times

People don't want you to kill yourself but this isn't the thread for saying stuff like that.. There's a depression thread in general chat, it's best if you keep problems like that to a thread that's related to them. People would be willing to listen if you put what you want to say in the appropriate place.
