Kinda sad when your beginner objects look almost better than those in WW2OL. Keep up the good work.

Don't you think you should be working for HiTech Creations?

You do great work and should be getting paid to do it.

My two cents worth

:lol

Lmao -

They're lucky I guess - They're on the recievieng end my projects / learning experiements...plus it's fun to do - it enhances my enjoyment of the game, as well as others.


I've had the last 2 months off, due to the seasonal / fickle business(music industry) that I'm in, so I've been using that time to try to learn stuff and get my hands dirty with different things. Hence the time to whip out skins / buildings, ect.... ( actually i was supoosed to be learning how to build 3d architectural buildings for an in-law's company who needs help  to do mock-ups and visualisations)

Been contemplating a career change, but don't know if I could stand going to an arts school, or what not. But it is something that interest me..That's how I got this last carreer - just fell into it because I liked doing it....Can't complain. Good pay, fun ,travel , cute girls- low hours :)

But the last 5-6 months, I've been kicking around the idea of doing something else...the last 10 years I've been traveling on /off and it gets "old" sometimes. I guess its like anything.

Also come to realize that family/friends are really important..my mother passed away over the holidays...and dad (ret. Airforce) is going through alot of stuff, on top of some health issues. I missed alot of things in my parents life due to travel, and it also took its toll on personal relationships. So the idea of being based in one location sounds appealing. Guess I'm just getting older...lol

Right now - I've got alot of options...., and I like that.

At least if I try to go the artist route - I wont be too "green" - but I still have tons to learn.

All I can say is go with what your heart is trying to tell you.

Live everyday like it's your last and you'll do what you know is right.

Peace Bro..

I know not many have started modeling yet but wouldnt it be good to create a "community repository" instead of each modeler and map maker having their own repository?

For example Id love to help model a few objects but my skining abilities suck. So I could help model the objects for the repository and someone who is great at skining could do the skins for em.

Also if we have a community repository we can reuse the objects much easier as we know where to find em.

Anyone know exactly what objects we can build?

Can we make trees and bridges?
