Hi people,
I may have missed the boat on this site, and if so I apologise without hesitation, but I do believe that people should say what's on their mind so long as it is with respect. So....
...1) What are the long term objectives of the site owners here? I appreciate the business aspect of Web sites, but it would seem that more work seems to be going into the "SimplyXXXXXXX" business than is being put into the SimplyLightwave site. I was so excited to find this site, but to be truthful am a bit disappointed with the infrequency of new material (and no, I don't mean free stuff, I mean stuff I can pay for! - Isn't that what business is about?). Yes, I appreciate that expanding the cause can attract new custom, but that shouldn't be at the cost of old customers....
2) I don't get the picture above about the new material coming. It's a picture of the Fender Stratocaster. Haven't we got that? Whilst it is one that I am not really interested in, I was hoping for some diversity, such as things like:
a) An army truck/Tank (not "yet another car" type tutorial you see on the net everywhere)
b) An aeroplane (e.g. A Boeing 747)
c) Roman Ruins
etc etc etc.
These idea's are NOT necesarily one's I want, but they are the type that is quite hard to find anywhere else, and they just came to me whilst I was typing this with one eye on the TV...
3) Low Poly Modelling with Texturing hints (e.g. How to make acceptable low poly models with good textures etc for putting in the background of animations).
For example, it would seem most tutorials deal with extreme detail on objects, such as the Fender Tut, the MacLaren etc... My interest is in creating animations with lost of things happening (future/modern cities with lots of background stuff going on), but to find tutorials on this sort of stuff is almost impossible.
Anyway, thats it from me. Please do not take my comments out of context. I do mean to be critical, but hopefully in a constructive way and not disrespectfully.
Thanks for reading,
Kevin McPoland
