hmm.. the mustang iam developing

Dear Yusuf:

Your reply to what I thought was a complementary request is tempting but I am going to forgive you and offer you my other cheek. Slap it with caution, the next one presented won't be on my face. If you can't read between the lines, double space the post.

I was hoping that you were attempting to donate something to the game even if your posts are in the off topic section.

In any event, my request that you submit this model for use in the game was serious. Some new models would be great and blasting BMWs would be a hoot especially with the death sound effect being a scream followed by "NOT MY BEEMER!"

Surely an intelligent fellow, such as yourself, can rip out enough detail to give us a shell that is small enough to be usable while still being unmistakably a BMW. If you need some suggestions, I have a few, but in order not to insult your intelligence, I will await your request for assistance.

If this is too complicated, or time consuming for you to accomplish in a timely manner, please post it for download as it is and offer it for use in the game. Perhaps someone else can modify it for inclusion into the game before the next release.

Oh yeah, same thing with the Mustang and any other models you have the legal right to dissiminate.

Thanks in advance for all your hard work and for making it available to us free of charge.

Sincerely,

Rommel

lol rommel u just made me laugh ..
yeah anyway what u say is quiet some idea and i did read the lines in between.. ill do my best to get the mesh density down and surely post it for this game

as for our little understanding problems, we'll leave that aside for a while

sincere regards
Yusuf

Nice work Yus. I don't have a single clue about graphics but this is some nice work

Very nice work, Yus!

How long does it take you to create those?

glad u liked it rad and steve ..

i dont really do it on a single stretch steve .. so i couldnt tell for sure ..

lets say abot 3-4 days for each?

There's something happening here.
What it is ain't exacltly clear.

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong

The original artwork of the cigar smoking dragon was a 2D creation of Ben Henry.

The 3D reproduction presented as being produced by Yusuf was created by Cheong Ho Yi, a 26 yeard old graphics artist living in Maylaysia.

I found it rather strange that a Indian Hindi would assume a Chinese name and I had to learn more. Perhaps Yusuf is Cheong, I can't say at the moment but I expect to know more soon.

Nice observation .. can u find the same for the mustang and bmw?
or again, did i mention or even "hint" anywhere that i made the dragon?

rommel rommel on the tree,
sipping wine drinking tea,
assuming how the world began,
and hence assumed what was yusufs plan,
always stood for a chance where he,
thought the world was simple as his tree,
today he sits grumbling at me,
wishing that he was like me,
wondering where he went wrong,
for truth hurts more than a nuclear bomb.

The image you provide is rather different from the one Yusuf is displaying Rommel.

If that is the original image that he worked from, then as the new image is a wonderful evolution of the original.

Afterall as human beings, have we not gotten to where we are by standing on the shoulders of giants?
Does an image need to be designed from scratch to be a work of art, or can it be an improved version of an aging piece?

The words are not for you. The words are for Yusuf. I hope you understand why I am ignoring your questions. He knows precisely what I said and hopefully can read between the lines.

Your'e BUSTED! You sir are a FRAUD! Yes, you falsely implied that it was your work as evidenced by the fact that you stated :



The dragon wasn't made using the software you use (3D Max).

From the REAL artist:

"I am very honored and grateful to have been given Ben's generous permission to recreate his 2D drawing in 3D.

Based model done by Maya, Zbrush for sculpt & texturing painting.Export texture map,normal map, cavity map and displacement map from zbrush then render with mental ray.

I separate different light passes so later can adjust when composite in Photoshop.Background & smoke was matte painting by Photoshop too."

Perhaps Yusuf will have the opportunity to speak with the REAL artist, soon. I hope so.
