This thread has got very heavy, to be honest so heavy that it as put me off even looking, I see Wayne completely and even after bowing gracefully you keep poking, I do not see why.
I don't feel like your characterization of my interaction with Wayne is fair or accurate. We were having a conversation and as often happens in conversations people have to clarify themselfs if they feel the other party doesn't understand them. I don't consider that poking any more than the continual assertion by Wayne, and apparently you know that 3D scupting is inferior to your 'Old School' methods. Try to remember this forum is specifically set up for 3D sculpting not for 'Old School' sculpting, so if you come into this forum making assertions of this kind you better expect to be schooled and you better expect enthusiasts like me to offer 'arguments' How would you feel if I walked into a sculpting forum you were following and condemed poly clays and wax the same way Michael Angelo would have?
If you can sculpt brilliant, if your good enough to produce the goods, great I will pay you, any material.
Don't understand?
I love art and expression, but it ain't going to help sell the product if you can't meet the market on what the market wants. It does seem that the more you tell us we are against you (digital) the more you justify the argument.
I'm not sure exactly what you are saying here, perhaps you might explain yourself a little better.
The point being, it has to be good enough to sell, expressions of pieces of wood and stone are to be respected but cannot be compared, this is a figure (generally miniature) forum not a sculptors forum. There must be loads carving and stone carving sites to express the passion, I suspect you have never painted a 54mm eye with expression, the highlight showing direction for the final piece.
I have never painted a figure that is exactly that size 2 1/8th inches. I have painted plenty of 3" and 3/4" figures as well as 5" and 12" figures so I'm not understanding how that supports your 'point'. Also you are on a 3D forumn not one for any other medium.
For the moment, if I had the choice- which I do, pay a hand sculptor or 3d. My money will always pay the hand sculptor, however I am fully prepared and if there is a 3d sculptor that can produce me a figure of my choice for 2014 with direction to print I will fully eat my words.
Technically your really finally detailed figures are 3D. For the most part they are scanned from 1:10th scale sculptures done by some master sculptors. Point in fact any sculptor you are likely to buy is only a reproduction of a piece done in various materials to acheive the level of detail that most appeals to you.
Unfortunately the art of the military figure is now being lost under said technical expression where yet I have seen not an ounce of comparable creativity.
If you are insulting my skills as a sculptor, I find your remarks rude as well as uncalled for. I have never claimed to be a master of any medium. I am doing my best to learn and hopefull acheive that level and while I do appreciate constructive critism I do not like insults. I don't do it to others and expect that they shouldn't do it to me. That if anything is no way to win an argument and no way at all to have a conversation,,, which this is.
I question where I deliver the box of Historex parts to and ask for boridino to be replicated.
And I would like painted please, a vital piece that seems to be neglected.
Maybe so, but what does it have to do with 3D Modeling. You did notice that the title of this forum is "Digis - Digital Miniatures 3D Modeling" do you think you are addressing a thread on another forum?
Best wishes
