Man, I wonder if they ever realized how naughty it can sound or if they just never thought it could be taken that way before doing the show.Ã,  8)

I think it would be naive to think that it was all some kind of accident.

You could seperate it with a fence or something weird like that, or have it transport you to a new identical room, but that wouldn't be seamless.

I like the idea, personally.

The one thing that is lacking there is that the US could actually adequately defend itself, otherwise I think the scenario is reasonably comparable. A book? Nah, not worth it.

I'm not good at 2d graphics, but I'm good at insulting.



A penis enlarger so you can bring yourself up to only slightly below average, and a book titled, "Sex for nerds," which is a somewhat misleading title since the entire book presents only two options, lowering your standards or perfecting the art of masturbation.

I hardly know you, so I had to resort to penish jokes. Sorry.Ã,  :)

Bush Bashing, sure he isn't the brightest pair of hot pants in the drawer, but it gets old and repetitive after say...almost 4 years.

Ah, but pretending he's competent seems worse than monotony to me.

Never tried Blender, but I just know you could have figured something out, Shbaz. ;)Ã, 

Time constraint.. UV mapping does the trick as well as a non-repeating texture map with a translucency channel, both of which take considerably longer than just typing the text within Blender. Also, making the image the proper resolution and size is a problem since you don't want it to distort or be placed on the board improperly, also part of the time issue. I just wanted a quick funny image, I think I'll refine this later, after the second round of finals is over and I'm home free for the summer. If I didn't, I'd feel like a hypocrite since my sig at elYsiun is "Your ability to grow as an artist will depend soley on your ability to adapt when given negative critisism rather than your ability to make excuses for your mistakes." haha.

That is indeed natural, but they don't chemically produce water.. they just mix it with other substances and the output isn't pure water.
#849
I don't get the "natural formation" bit.. it exists naturally, but it isn't naturally formed (on Earth). That happens only when you burn hydrogen + oxygen. Otherwise it just cycles through its different forms.
#850
I wonder if you might have read my post at elysiun? Just a weird coincedence?
#851
Ah, but it had to be pure Blender. I probably should have UV'd some text from Gimp on there, but that would take longer than just typing it through Blender's text addition. Nice paintover though!  :D

And we are not just torturing people for the hell of it there beating hell out of aÃ,  lot of the fuckers that they've been having fire fights with then when they surrender the beat the fucking crap outta of them, If I was being shot at by the bastards all night then they surrendered I beat em' too!

You lack an open mind and you posess that terrible quality of not considering things from their standpoint.

The US has been invaded by the Chinese and they are attempting to set up a new communist government. There are Chinese soldiers on every corner, at checkpoints that they set up where roads bottleneck, and they have prisons full of anyone who defies their power. They came here on the pretense that the US government was oppressive to the poor and hostile to the world as a whole, posessing a nuclear stockpile capable of causing human extinction. There are still rebel factions scattered throughout the US, and the Chinese are pursuing them dilligently. Because the Americans were known to torture Chinese soldiers for information when they were captured, some Chinese soldiers began to torture and ridicule American POWs in the prisons they have set up.

Now tell me, is that right?

QuoteI'm about as hippie as they come dude

No you aren't, hippies are about PEACE and you advocate war and torture.

"Do you know what also hurts. Sneezing when you pee.

Sneezing is the most powerful impulse your body is capable of producing, and causes nearly all of the muscles in your body to simultaneously contract. Since your .. peeing muscles.. were contracted anyway, it probably hurt because when you sneezed you stressed those muscles to the point of pain.

How do you find it disturbing, do you know some of the things these Iraqi's have done to my fellow Americans they've kept imprisoned?

Well, as I pointed out above, you can't blame them all collectively for what only some of them did. That's just ignorant, therefore terrible, and makes me angry. I find it disturbing because doing those things to anyone, regardless of the reason, is disturbing and takes a demented mind to produce.

So, do you apply this same logic to our own soldiers, blaming every single one for things that happened in Vietnam, etc?

Whos dg, why was which motor best locked, and why are people mentioning there genitals in that topic clearly if your mentioning your genitals and don't know anything about carsyou dont have genitals, wtf. terranRICH i could understand what you were saying in that and maybe i am an ass if you cant read this your eyes are screwed up!!!!!!don't get on my ass about using 5 or 6 exclamation points. i do agree that the other one might be a wee bit un readable but i cant read it, damn I am going through this and putting in punctuation, but know one said anything about spelling or something else. Doing stuff the right way takes to long, damn.

I don't care if it takes a "long time" (translates to roughly 30 seconds, with a long thread, unless you're a two finger typist). Your posts are at best incomprehensible rambling. The "best motor" thread was something that looked like a joke. That's how terrible your typing is. Also, the fact that you type words like "forshizzle" totally discredits your opinion or questions on anything, IMO.

You can get mad about this, but you'll get banned eventually if you keep making such newbish posts, so it doesn't matter to me. If you're smart, you'll just start typing comprehensibly.

Over the weekend while studying for my finals I had to do something to keep my mind from wandering too much.. so I worked on a 3d scene between studying. I probably only spent a total of about 2 hours on it, but it was still an important diversion.

Anyway, it was an entry for a Weekend competition at elYsiun with the theme "Mad scientist." I didn't get many votes (not over, but I'll be lucky to reach 3 right now), but I don't know what makes the other entries so much better than mine. No one seems to want to tell me in the Finished works post I made because the elYsiun members have a habit of replying only to senior members (who coincidentally don't reply to much work at all either).

So this is where you come in.. I know what's wrong with the image visually (the bunsen burner's hose looks thick because of shadows, the text is too perfect, metal doesn't look real, etc), but what is there about it that makes it so much worse than the other entries?

Here is my entry (thumbnail) 138kb at 1280x1024 resolution:

"After consuming one of the chemicals he normally treated with great care, the professor went mad, he turned on all of the faucets, filled the board with his ramblings, and then passed out on the floor beneath it!"

In one frame there is a white outline around her lips.. Intentional? and if so, why?
#858
Definately sounds like a girl, but you should go in and manually silence the portions between the words so that the hiss isn't as noticable, plus do a fade in/out effect before and after the words so the editing isn't as noticable.

Well, I've never made a game before, so the outcome of this could be terrible to mediocre, but I think it's time for me to give it a try. I also promised to do a tutorial showing how to make 3d backgrounds, so there will be the added addition of "open-source backgrounds" because the .blend files will be available.Ã,  :D

Hey, good luck man. It's hard to get a solid footing in the graphic design industry I'm told because of the massive amount of people who talk up their mediocre photoshopping skills. Your portfolio shows clearly that you aren't one of those people.

The only thing I would suggest would be to not include so much of your game art, since it's aimed at advertising. Organic additions would be a nice compliment to your other pieces too.
