Dunny Helmet

boofredlay

You tried hard to have some thickness on the helmet, you didn't manage to have it in the end. Its wrong.

I did not try at all to have thickness on the helmet. I did not want it. It is not wrong.

I don't promote any app. Others do.
maybe artisan a little lol
I'm suggesting to use SU as a helper for other more capable apps, that what I do. Cheap or free apps, not max and vray or vue.
Apps like zbrush or 3dcoat don't need promotion. Especially zbrush. Do you know how many members in zbrushcentral? My last post had 50000 visitors so far.
about the thickness: I just tried to add thickness using same plugin. Not always possible.
I'm testing new builds of blender now, this app is much more capable for this sort of modeling, and its also free. It also supports collada1.4 and exports clean 3ds, So...
Boofredley, you're a talented man, don't spend your time with wrong apps. If you're searching for a stand alone app in 3d world you wont find it. SU is for simple accurate building modeling. I missed this in other apps so I use 2-3 as a chain now. Why not?

My crits on this video, its obvious that symmetry is an issue in SU, artisan or other plugins.

This forum is locked. Why so?

Yes, I know all the threads, I'm not blind. I insist though, you have to visit lot of forums around.
To show me 1-6 months projects doesn't help. We're talking about organic modeling here and these threads have nothing to do with it.
If you like organic modeling visit zbrushcentral or 3dcoat forum or cgtalk or ...
If you like, visit my thread here (a two-three days project) http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=32148

You can't or you don't want to see my point.
That you are trying to avoid apps when talent is needed to use them. This is wrong, don't do this to yourself.

It´s 49270. Don´t exaggerate, michalis!

Gaieus

Oh NTh, don't be nit-picking!

numbthumb

I´m not.
I was just trying to lower this unnecessary tension. No disrespect intended ( I am very well aware of michalis´ artistic capabilities ).
But I am sure there´s plenty of nit-picking in such "SketchUp vs. this or that" debating.

@nt

Gaieus WAS trying to be funny also

numbthumb

Everything´s fine.
I hope I didn´t make a mistake elaborating a bit further on my thoughts on this topic.

michaliszissiou

I really enjoyed you answer and you humor numbthumb. It was funny after all.

numbthumb

Well, in that case everything´s OK, michalis. No point getting all upset over this. We need your brains here, you know.

SketchUpNoobie

Sorry if I created any debate. I was merely trying to explain that different people prefer to use different programs. Michalis, you surely do have a ton of talent and I did not mean to disrespect you or your opinion in any way. Again, I apologize.
