not only that, but sly sticks to the same format of unturned
TakiToday at 7:00 PM
I'm pretty sure it's tinsy tiny bit thin
district 9 prawnToday at 7:00 PM
like mate, experiment
@Sly bro
SlyToday at 7:09 PM
find me something that makes money where i can break out of this format and ill do it
Poptart From PlutoToday at 7:09 PM
who was that to?
district 9 prawnToday at 7:11 PM
@Sly well you would have to expand your portfolio in order to get recognition in other places, you should know this better than anyone in here
TwoShoesToday at 7:14 PM
Well then find him something to work on that will help him expand his portfolio lol
district 9 prawnToday at 7:17 PM
no?
thats not my job
sly will eventually have to anyways, because unturned doesnt last forever and riding the trend into the sunset never works
SlyToday at 7:18 PM
well until something else comes up, like U2, ill be sticking to the same old format.
district 9 prawnToday at 7:18 PM
he will have to find greener pastures or suffer irrelevancy
SlyToday at 7:20 PM
you also have to remember my major is civil engineering. I am not pursuing a career in 3d modeling or game design. This is a side project to help me earn money while i attend college. I have a lot of fun doing it sometimes too.
So when i get a career eventually, i wont be modeling much anymore
district 9 prawnToday at 7:22 PM
regardless
SlyToday at 7:22 PM
and the way that nelson is going with unturned 2, i will be breaking my mold on
formatting  because i have to model in a way that can be animated and shoved into a completely new game with a different engine.
district 9 prawnToday at 7:23 PM
I mean
it isnt different from terms of RF
lol
SlyToday at 7:24 PM
ye but RF doesn't really make that much money for me.
district 9 prawnToday at 7:26 PM
not my point
lol
SlyToday at 7:26 PM
also you claim i will suffer irrelevancy eventually, but every other day i get people trying to commission me for more of my work. It will be even more when U2 releases or is able to be modded finally.
district 9 prawnToday at 7:26 PM
hence eventually
nothing lasts forever sly, nor does unturned modding
and sure
Unturned 4.0 will rekindle the fire
but like all pieces of media, it will eventually die out
SlyToday at 7:27 PM
yeah, but eventually i will have my dream job so i dont have to worry about it anymore is my main point
district 9 prawnToday at 7:27 PM
sure, but your stuff is still boring nowadays
SlyToday at 7:28 PM
And i wholeheartedly agree. It gets tiring making the same shit with every commission. But its the path i chose with my current skill set
plus there isnt really a market for cars, map objects, or anything else
district 9 prawnToday at 7:29 PM
well damn
thats one way to kill respect
thats some sellout type shit sly
SlyToday at 7:30 PM
except clothing but trying to model a realistic vest into a low poly blocky thing really doesnt drive me to pursue it
Poptart From PlutoToday at 7:30 PM
i would actually like to see sly make a vehicle but i wouldn't bug him into it
district 9 prawnToday at 7:30 PM
but doesnt that logic apply to things such as weapons
SlyToday at 7:30 PM
i mean i am fine with trying cars or literally anything else, but that doesnt really pay off my debts or feed me at the end of the day.
Poptart From PlutoToday at 7:31 PM
guns are just his profession and he makes them well
district 9 prawnToday at 7:31 PM
then why dont you try and get a job?
SlyToday at 7:31 PM
it does, yeah, but at least with guns i can play around with 8k faces. Vests are limited to generally low poly because of how much lag it brings
Poptart From PlutoToday at 7:32 PM
i have a job sly is working towards a big time job
district 9 prawnToday at 7:33 PM
sure, but its still more conventional to have a constant pay instead of having to sell yourself out with a creative medium
SlyToday at 7:33 PM
I cant really get a job along side my college shit or else i lose out on scholarships, financial aid, health insurance, etc. I also have a low platelet disorder that is expensive to monitor and maintain.
and that same platelet disorder leaves me feeling sick most days out of the week. I can't attend college and do well in it while also having a job
i tried that. I almost failed out
so i am honestly caught between a rock and a hard place
So if you have a suggestion, i would love to hear it, because right now you insulting my work and the way that i carry my life isn't doing much good.
Don't get me wrong, i love doing the work i do, and i understand me chasing the money sounds like a sell out, but its the best option I have with what bullshit life has given me. With the expensive asf medical bills I have, the lack of parents to support me, and living my life day to day with a constant crippling sickness that brings on profuse bleeding, heart palpitations, and constant medicine with harsh side effects, its all i got right now. So please, Poofoo, if you have something to suggest, I would love to hear it.
district 9 prawnToday at 7:46 PM
if you deem it as insulting your work instead of it being the solemn suggestion, thats on you then, if you want new work to expand your horizons, you would have to look. Games like gmod (or any source game for that matter) doom, arma, fallout, etc. etc. have large and paying modding communities
SlyToday at 7:50 PM
Then how do you interpret it when someone calls your stuff "boring?" And while trying to get into those type of communities sounds nice, it also sounds like more stuff I can't achieve yet with my current modeling capabilities. I am skilled yes, but not skilled enough to do those types of modeling work, let alone invest a bunch of time to learn how those game's engines work well enough to do what i set out to achieve.

This is one unique form of a shitty situation
Like holy shit
