If you want to learn to make realistic rocks, pick a reference and find out the ways to replicate it so it looks believable. when making things from nature, never use your mind, what you think something looks like and what it actually looks like is never the same. that was pretty much the best feedback you could have gotten and you took it completely wrong. You'll also find it very difficult to get a job if you have a bad attitude about what your peers have to say about your work. Because if you don't, and you want to be a part of this community, you won't get any respect in return. Keep what you say righteous, hopeful, and respectful. If Da Vinci did it, so can you.įinally, knock it off with them negative waves, dig the beauty of polycount around you. So, like many others have stated, work from reference. It is the practice to learn how to craft the art later. The practice sculpts that you are doing is not the art. How would you discover the beauty of anatomy in addition to how the forms work if you don't copy or work directly from references for hours upon hours until you do start to understand it. If you think for a moment that Rembrandt, Dürer, Da Vinci, or Caravaggio, the masters of their time, didn't spend countless hours copying directly from reference you are misled. However, what is just as important is understanding the materials, forms, and makeup of what you are trying to recreate. The story, the expressions, directions, flow etc are all an important part of art. Look, 3D art and game art in general has a lot of artistic direction that can be put into things. Polycount is a community of artists that want to help other artists improve, ZombieWells brings up a good point, and is not the only one that thinks you are going about this the wrong way. It makes you seem immature and unwilling to grow as an artist and a person.

Some feedback is better than other, but never lash out at those trying to provide feedback.

Have a little faith, baby.Īrt critique is brutal but almost always honest.
