Criticism! Who gives a shit about it right?!

Well, it wasn't constructive criticism. I made it look like it was wet, but the screenie didn't show the full "wet" look to it. I'm just saying meh, because it doesn't look organic.

If you critiqued me, I would've like to have heard something a long the lines of this:

Spoiler below!

"The bottom engine-thing is too dark, it needs some brighter colors. The texture is not high def enough, what is causing that, can you fix it? It seems to me that the glossiness of the ship is probably too much, to me, it looks too wet, nearly slimy. I suggest you tone it down." etc.

To which, I would reply:

"The spec map on this ship is actually pretty good. I made the metal look shiny; however, I'm having problems with some of the rust areas being too shiny. I kind of wanted to make it look wet because it will be broken apart in UDK on an island. The textural quality of it can't be better until I figure out why Maya is rendering it badly. My texture map is 2k x 2k and it still looks like crap. I'm not real satisfied about it."

To which, you could reply with:

"How about you change the color scheme of the ship? It looks completely ruined, which may be a good thing, but you should spend the extra couple hours and make it look like paint is tearing off."

What you did was, "this looks bad" and didn't provide any reason to it. That's not criticism, that's just you insulting my work without providing rational critique. OR if it IS criticism, it's not constructive like I previously mentioned (take it however you want). It'd be like you posted a door and I just go, "Hey Danny, your door doesn't look like a door, it looks like a organic wooden construct that won't open due to organic matter preventing it from opening." <- Seriously, what the fuck?
