No texture on the ship? Everything looks okay, I would have set slightly less lensflare, but the ship is... =\

Give the guy a break, he's only learning

Hence my comment isn't flaming or a "You suck".

Pointing out the obvious doesn't really help either though. He probably already realised the ship wasn't textured, and is just saving that for another day

Then he should say that. However, he said this was a midterm, and that usually means that the piece is done.

Midterm or not, it is a little rude to say the ship is crap without giving contructive criticism or advice.

Actually, I did as much as I could. I'm no expert on 3D models, but I've worked closely with someone who knows that stuff pretty well. From what I understand, a simple texture would be a simple thing to stick on so you don't end up with a white blob object, and the white blobbyness is REALLY distracting from the point of the image, which is the background - Something I also commented on, perhaps a little less lensflare.

Hmm well I see your point, though I've had experience with modelling and on an object like that, especially one that looks like it's using NERBs, The texture would look stretched anyway. Besides which, he'd have to learn UV mapping and photoshop texturing, all that jazz. But anyway, I see what you mean and I didn't mean to start any debate, I just thought you were a tad unfair on the guy

At which point he probably should have dropped the ship.

I'm willing to bet that my reaction was the same his teacher had, just with more constructive flaming.

Hehe, love that term, "constructive flaming." I suppose he could have dropped the ship, though it was meant to apply to a previous pic of his.

*nod* Never use a half-ready art asset for a project that is supposed to be 'finished', such as a midterm.

....umm yea..heh..

It's really not a bad comment at all. It's brief, yes, but I'd take that any day over blind praise.

nobody's perfect

Hence my comment isn't flaming or a "You suck".

Wow, that's nice! I have no clue how to do all that graphic stuff. Impressive... I think.

Awesome light effect!
