Some good light !
Since I've seen the original hundreds time, I have to call you out on lazy texturing :- )
When you call someone "lazy" you dont give him any chance to improve. You insult him. You insult his time that he spents, his effort, everything.
Except that I didn't. You created this whole absurd connection by yourself and I am honestly more and more surprised by your further posts.
You read far too much into the concept of "lazy texturing" which does refer to texturing, and doesn't describe the person. It is not in any way personal attack, and the fact, that this form, is something that you consider impolite out of imagined connection, bothers me a bit. I do quite dislike the overly childish nature of sugarcoating any critique in order to make it plausible for people to stomach. This is something that perhaps works in Kindergarten but doesn't in reality. I hold same attitude towards it for more than 10 years, I had not changed and I still answer politely to other's critique (or ignore it).
The issue with your super positive approach "if you improve your textures here and there your work will achieve the highest level" is that it gives false idea of possible outcome, while critique should pertain to current reality, otherwise it adds motivation on top,
but that can't be requirement of correct critique, as it may hinder the true weight behind critique's importance.
Sure we live in oversensitive society where we dumb down everything to not hurt other's feeling but I'll keep to my honesty. Offence is
NEVER on side of offender (even though it might perfectly be his intention), but on the side of offended, that's not something up to discussion, that's a pure fact. Sure, I could take that into account, but I can't be hold responsible for that.
I feel like there is almost mythical misconception about necessity of "constructive critique" and what it entails. Neither is supportive construction necessary, it doesn't need to hold up positive tone. But that really falls on fact that you would even be offended by light term such as "lazy texturing" and connect personally into critique. We're after all, criticizing the work, not the people behind, and these connections, are always in mind of beholder.
I don't feel we're on the same wave and I guess it comes to different outlook on world. I can assure you, I am considered a good and very patient teacher ( Veronika and I did taught a short college class on 3D), neither do I lack overly empathy (although to certain level I am considered a cold person) but that still has no connection to all this unnecessary discussion.
but Ι can't criticize your bad lighting setup when in an another thread of mine my texturing sucks.
This is complete fallacy, I don't even know how you can support such argument. This is completely nonsense. I am done.
