Any Idea on how to get an impersonator off the warehouse?
-
G. F., I decided to have a look at your to see what the fuss is. So is it designed for people to ride in standing up? I have to agree with the others. It looks nice enough but it needs a lot of work. You're being offered a lot of constructive criticism. It would be smart of you to accept what is freely given.

Thanks guys. Were those renders...?
Ely862me has alot of skill, most definatly. I think, in answer to your question, ely862me, i would rate my car 3 stars. Sad you arent on the warehouse. I would love to see a car tutorial from you. Scottpara, Ok, I get the point. but the scale (to me) does not really matter. For example, one of rogue's models is 2,000,000 metres long. Dave R.: (Nice avatar you have 
) It is not designed to be ridden in standing up. 
I think I ought to take the critisism and work to make my model better. Or, if ely862me uploads a tutorial, then I'll start another project. OH! Yeah, ely862me's tutorial is on youtube right? 
-
Yes, those three are renders.
Just because one person wants to model for giants does not mean you shouldn't know scale. It is basic practice.

Good idea.

Thanks on the avatar comment. He's two years older now. I probably should get a new picture.

That's a common problem with models on the 3D Warehouse. Too many people don't bother drawing their models to proper size which makes them unusable for anyone else. You might as well upload JPGs of your models to an online photo album then.

I feel your pain. You'll never get back those 3 seconds which it takes use the scale tool to make the model the correct size.

Unfortunately it often takes more than just the Scale tool to fix models in the 3D Warehouse.

Agreed Dave....99%.

Scott Para: I saw your models. I thought they were above average. There could have been bevels where there wernt. Your modeling interests do not allow for much detail, but for the majority, you did pretty much the best you could. Maybe put more bevels, and they should be fine models!
Do you use sketchup?As for the "professionals" who say the warehouse is near worthless, although I do not agree, I think you must be more at home on "professional" 3d model sites. The 3dwh is more for begginers.
Ely862me: Where can I see your work? Thanks for the tutorial. I have already learned it, just isnt my prefered method. -

Yeah, Scott...put more bevels in these and they'll be as good as the stuff on the warehouse. You can never have enough bevels. Do you use SketchUp BTW? -

Ely862me: Where can I see your work? Thanks for the tutorial. I have already learned it, just isnt my prefered method.You know a few days went by and I thought all of this was put aside and you finally "got it" and you decided to learn from those still willing to help you learn. Obviously that is not the case. While I appreciate your "advice" on the bevels and my "average" models, I think you should take a little of your own advice on "bevels" (see attached picture of "the Wowww sedan for giants". As far as doing the "best I can", I always do at whatever I am working on. I model to scale, keeping in mind poly counts, and quality textures. Can you say the same? Do I use sketchup? Yes, why would I be here if I did not? I use Sketchup, Modo, Maya, Alias studio, MAX, it all depends on what the final output needs to be and what my client wants.
I have to say you are not getting it, not at all. You have some big names (Yes "professionals" getting paid for their work) in the world of sketchup (I do not consider myself on their level by any means), people like Alan, Solo, ely862me all willing to give you advice and hold your hand, and you are doing nothing more than pissing that advice away. Bad choice but that is your ship to sail. You need to take this advice being freely given and run with it. Pick these "professionals" brains, they have a wealth of knowledge to give and they are all great guys more than willing to help those who can bite their tongue and be respectful. Take for instance Ely862 giving you a car tutorial, yet you say things like you "already learned it" and it is not your "preferred method". Lets see what you have learned then. Is you preferred method that of drawing out of scale and square grilles? Hold your tongue and open your ears and eyes.
While I was an artist on FormFonts I took full advantage of learning for those professional and was a sponge to any and all advice. I doubt I would have been asked to stay for 4 years if I was not seen as a professional with artistic skills to offer. Many of those guys are the best modelers (using sketchup) I know. The models there are some of the highest quality you will find. THAT is why they are as successful as they are.
I doubt Google's intention for the warehouse was for it to be a dumping ground for beginners. While I am all for beginners posting their work and offering their work for anyone to download it freely, I do not think it was supposed to be a place for the garbage that is flooding the site daily. If they want people (professionals and high level hobbyists) to frequent the site they need some sort of quality control. The problem with that is there would be far fewer models than there are today. This is why it was become a premiere sketchup toilet and not a source for quality content.
I would be more concerned with the quality of your content and your attitude than if someone is impersonating you on the Sh*thouse. Who knows maybe the impersonator has a better attitude and skills and THAT is what is twisting your panties.

..... I take back the suggestion that ~GoldenFrog~ might be from an American town (Neptune). I think he is more than likely from the planet. It may be time for him to limber up and get leaping back to Neptune as he is clearly not from Earth if he thinks Scott's work needs more attention to detail

Yeah, Scott...put more bevels in these and they'll be as good as the stuff on the warehouse. You can never have enough bevels. Do you use SketchUp BTW?Enough with the sarcasm, please.
