Here i'm going to show you, the model that i showed you before, exactly as you saw it last time, then i'm going to show you the exact very same model again, without a normal map to prove to you that i's not just some really high poly model, but in fact a very high quality normal mapping job.

Although on the other forums i've posted this, nobody has a problem with me calling it next gen since they actually know what i'm talking about. But for you, i'm calling it detailed. So can we stop arguing about it?
thats gay
what's gay?
Holy crap that's awesoem. I didn't get to see it last time cause the link wouldn't work. Top notch work. It's amazing how much the map changes the model.
~TDOT>Thank you, last time i was hyperlinking a slideshow, which should have worked, its all html code, but it didnt. No one seemed to care about it then, feel free to read any of the comments in the other topic to know what i mean.
It's a nice model and a nice normal mapping job, we appreciate that. But people here are geeky and therefore love to argue about stupid trivial things and often forget about showing appreciation. Don't take it so badly.
The main thing is…. we don't give a shit about your opinions until you get an avatar.
well i admit i do need an avatar, but people still dont need to be jerks when i'm trying to help.
Oh and one other thing, though I can see where you're coming from and all, you seem to have the attitude that we owe you something for doing this. We don't.
Nobody asked you to do this. We owe you nothing, you are not doing us a 'favour'. Please understand that when ever you invest into something like this you should never expect anything back. That said, I appreciate your work - you did a great job. I'm sorry this community's reaction to it has been rather disheartening.It looks good yeah, there's no doubt in that, however, you touched a very critical point:
I don't think you'll find anyone here buying that. This is mostly a community. There's a list of recent free games, and a list of recent blogs. Selling models won't work well.
