Sometimes the best thing when your frustrated is take a step back and do something else. Take a few days and do something else and clear your mind of the problem your having. Then come back at it fresh. Sometimes you will find a solution or an idea that never occured to you before. It happens to me all the time. The more you hammer at a problem the more it ticks you off. That's not productive.

The definition of insanity is to keep doing what you’ve been doing and expecting a different result.

Two days ago i have been looking at your textured lowpoly models for mektek (as well as the models other members have done), and i even wrote an afterwards deleted (ashamed) comment asking what exactly are your ways to paint such rich textures inside a paint program after all the rendering-unwrapping... Later then i saw my work on mechs done for AT1, and the only thing that kept ringing inside my head was "...Im making all this to look like crappy cardboard mechs". Resuming, i truly wish i had the talent you and your staff comrades have.

3D work, specially when not animating nor doing anything else but texturing and modeling can really burn out someone's motivation to keep trying to have an "artistical" hobby.. at least in my case, i have reached the edge of dropping the whole AT1 thing for good and be free to dedicate the time for my other kind of artwork.

Resuming... maybe you are tired of modeling-texturing mechs, but not of being an artist. I would consider trying -other- kind of artwork.

....trying other kind of artwork alongside still modeling mechs, i meant.

Bored with 3D-Design, welcome to the club I think i have this phase about twice a month, actually, where im completely out of, intelligent, ideas.... normally that means, stop whatever i am doing, go outside, take some photos, come back, start something completely different until i find something that is "fun" ...

And after that, i either have another WIP scene i will never finish or i find some great idea that keeps me busy...

But then again, thats me... i hope you find your Muse back because your models rock

i wish i could do 3D work but i,m hopeless at it!!! if you need an idea then do an Omage Class Destroyer from Babylon 5

Ma bro: ~dantheartist ...as bent as the soviet sickle and as 'ard as the hammer that crosses it.

Join the revolution!

Don't do that dude. You'd regret it eventually. My instructor at school has always said that you just need to keep trying things. Polish your skills.

Also something else he said to me was you shouldn't compare your work with that if someone else. You just need to do the best you can for yourself.

Besides dude, I gotta say I love your models.

the inspiration is out there, you just had to let it enter your head!

i'm not the best & surely will never be, but that don't stop me to keep trying & expressing with this 3dtools!
