Geezus.. heh, ok Falcon i hope it's ok i'm honest again. If i were you i wouldn't even have posted this, and especially not in the Gallery section. You done alot better renderings before. This is just a number of Poser models without textures tossed into a scene with some other misc objects. There's nothing i can say is good other than the Maxwell gradient sky.

Sorry man but you get thumbs down from me due to this rendering. :(

Max , don't be cruel, ... if Salvador Dali was still alive and using Maxwell, I am sure he would make tons of renders like that... OK , Falconing is not Dali if it's what you are saying... but hats off to Falconing, because he's working hard and he tries a lot of stuff, which is cool... it is not the best he produced, but painters don't make major piece each time either... and the still show it...

Go Falconing go... ! (OK, now you have to texture it...) 8)

I'm not cruel Hervé, just being honest and direct and truthful.

Although partly you might be right, but then again Salvador Dali didn't sell all his doodles and other things he created just some pieces made him famous.

If i went out too harsh and hurt any feelings i'm sorry but i feel honesty about renderings on the forum here is something that's missing. People say stuff is good to make the artist happy and not offend the person, i don't play along those rules because they don't help the artist improve his/her skills as it gives false criticism about the artists artwork.

you know.. I am pretty sure Falconing is not blind... and he sees exactly that this one is... hmmmm... but it's up to you. I think we need people like you as well as liars... I meanI've seen in a big exhibition some people staring in orgasm in front of art work I would have used as a dog carpet... not even...

Lotsa different tastes in this world... but only ONE Maxwell..

I just say, let's unite under the Maxwell Flag... :wink:

Falconking,

I do also agree that based on your other work this is a waste of everyone's time. The concept has promise but this is a gallery for finished works and I don't think this could qualify for anything but an interesting render/concept sketch...

From my perspective one of the most important skills a CG artist can have is PATIENCE. I understand the lure of rendering like a mad fool! Look ma! I rendered a sphere, a cube, 27 poser models, a plane, a plain... a plain plain on a plain. But really... put as much energy you do into 5 images... put it into ONE. You have quite a lot of skill, I would LOVE to see an image where a great deal of prep and thought has been applied, it would be awsum!

Just my 2 cents...

as for posting 'harsh' or 'nasty' posts I don't agree. I think this is supposed to be a forum for learning, and the one thing I learned well in Art College is that a decent critique is NEVER 100% positive. In fact, I hate those mamby pamby critiques of one's work. The goal for me is to learn and make my art BETTER. If you continue to post here and don't bother listening to the genuine critiques given you are wasting your time... and dare I say ours too. It takes time and energy to give a good critique... i take my work and my art seriously, and to give my opinion won from so many decades of work... I value that.

You have some brilliant ideas... but free advice from me is; pick ONE idea for the week, not SEVEN... :)

Please lets see some genuine art... I would LOVE to see some from you.
