I brightened the texture and to my astonishment, there was a good looking wood texture underneath, it just got darkened so much you couldn't see it.

Nice overall though. Your animations are always getting better, Splint. :cool:

Just because I don't worship every single work of Splinter's does not mean I shouldn't post. It's not like this is a fanclub or something.

I am in no way saying Splinter is bad, he just has a tendency to make his skins (especially his wood) EXTREMELY dark.

Great job Splinter. Love the skin and new animations. The reload animation in particular is awesome, good speed, fluid, doesn't look like a robot.

Good release.

I agree that its too dark. But since im pretty good in Photoshop, Ill just adjust it the way I like it. Thats the beauty of HL games, if you dont like it, they made it easy to change.

Oh... and have you ever considered working for VALVe or a high-profile mod or some other gaming company? You really got the talent.

Splinter
12-10-2004, 05:24 PM
actually no, most of them said i have no talent and that they don't appreciate my skins simply because they are too dark.

Dark you say? Must be their sh*tty monitors.

The hell with mods. Being a "team player" is out of my league. I guess i like to work at my own pace and not have to worry about other people and their needs.

First, it's not a tendancy and he meant to do it on this BAR, 2nd on say his STG44, the wood looks great, looks similar to cherry wood, all of his would looks realistic so don't critisize it it and say its too dark even though it pulls off a great wood look.

Also BTW you seem to say every single thing of his stuff is too dark...I think he gets thats your opinion because you say it on every single one of his posts, and if you don't like em that dark, keep it to yourself instead of constantly repeating yourself.

BTW Splint great job...using this thing, ditching my stupid old reskin of your first BAR

I agree Splinter, I have setup my monitor with an old copy of the 3deep, brightness/contrast/gamma tool and I think most other skins are actually too LIGHT. Splinters stuff looks better with a properly setup monitor.

darkflame

I wouldent say there dark, more like they have seen there fair share of combat and no one has a can of amourall on hand to polish them up, I mean its not like there a peice of chrome on a $500,00 car right:rolleyes:

You know, with all this talk of Splinter's wood being too dark, some of you guys need to realize that every skinner/modeler has their own style of doing things. I know I have my own style. Same could be said w/ Splinter. Thats what makes everyone's work unique.

I like the dark wood texture. Its different. And I like different. GJ Splinter.

...so? Doesnt change the fact that the wood is too dark and some people dont like it.

Thats their problem. I don't like the model being used. So I shoved the skin on another model. Splinter is not forcing you to use it. You don't like it, live with it or try and change it yourself.

Dwin, why are you even in this thread if you don't like it?
Quit spamming with negative comments. I've noticed that's all you do. Either that or contradict other people's post, instigating if you ask me.

Yes we know it's freaking dark, you've said that in the first few of your post. Now pls. shut up. Stop voicing the same opinion over and over in the same thread. Brighten up your monitor or something or don't ven use it at all if it bothers you that much. Im sure there's what 20+ other BARs out there.

I put this out for free for you guys to use, be glad that i even put it out.

For the last time...

It's his/her work therefore its up to them to make its they feel fit. If they ask for critisism, its up to them to deal with it but there is no obbligation for them to alter their work beyond what satisfies them.

That said:

Artists: by posting your work for review or crititism accept what people have to say. However it doesn't mean their right or wrong as in the end and its up to your to make it how you like.
Do NOT however bait and goad people which some people seem to like to do.If you just want to show something and want NO feedback state so in your post.

Posters: give your crtitism and explain why, with reason you like dislike something. "Meh. Sucks. Etc." is not good feeback and is frankly a waste of space and time. Be prepared to stand by your opinions because sure as hell someone will want you to expand on it and you'd better follow it up with something better than "its ghey"

Keep it civilised people. Threads that start to get petty and pointless will get closed or I'll just plain delete the junk out of them.

Splinter, you obviously have poor observational skills, as I rarely post in your release threads. This is the second post of this three page thread, in fact. I never said I dont like it either. I think all your skins are amazing.

Nobody has to use it if they dont want to. People know that already. They can still comment on it if they want to.

You really think so, eh? I think bright skins are ugly as a mule that got plowed by a bulldozer. If some people don't like it then some people don't have to use it. Don't you agree?

I never said I dont like it either. I think all your skins are amazing.

That's not how I, or anyone else in this thread, obviously, comprehended it. You should be careful how you word your constructive criticism and your flat-out mindless, unhelpful criticism.

Nobody has to use it if they dont want to.

Your first quote makes it sound as if you are nagging Splinter, telling him that his work sucks, and needs to be immediately changed to suit the people who don't like it, instead of suiting the majority who already do like it.

They can still comment on it if they want to.

Commenting, criticizing, whatever you want to call it, unless you justify in a polite manner what you find wrong with it, and why, and possibly how it could be done to ammend it, it is not, by definition, constructive criticism, and thus is useless in aiding in the creation of the project at hand.

So, basically, I'm getting at one thing -- PLAY NICE. Don't crap all over people's work because you personally don't appreciate it. You said you liked it and found his work "amazing," well you should probably start with something like that, and then go into what could be a problem, and how it could be made better, instead of making Splinter, or any other modeller/skinner/animator out there, feel like crap. Maybe this isn't your intention; maybe you've been framed and are innocent, but the case remains that you can't keep doing this and getting away with it because no one appreciates it.

My 2 cents.

The wood was critized as being too dark. I think it's quite obvious what could be done to change it, so there's really no need to say.

I dont think you even understand what my original response was about. It was barely related to Splinter's skin at all. I was commenting on somebody elses post. My point was that there is nothing you can say in Splinter's defense when somebody says the wood is too dark.
