This whole "I know better" attitude that some of you seem to have actually makes me sick. Id love it for someone to walk into your job that you have been doing, by someone with absolutely zero experience, and say no you are doing it wrong, do it this way instead. Then have another few hundred coming behind them to tell you how to do it a little differently again. Thank god backers are backers only.
Its not about the job - its about the product. The customer have the right to like it or dislike it. He has also the right to express his opinion - no matter how qualified the producer is.
The producer need to hit the nail in the middle to make most of the fans happy. There will be always different opinions. The problem is some fans are getting offended when someone critize the work (using arguments) of his guru and yes I do see the problem also here!
I do I agree that we should keep in mind that the models are not final and Shenmue 3 is Kickstarter compain with limited budget.
Seriously, the types of Photoshop "improvements" being posted are so minute, subjective, and arbitrary. And some of them are presented with an almost comical air of certainty that their fan art is the superior, ideal visualization. Is this what this forum is going to be like for the next year? I guess it's fine as a hobby, but does anyone believe YsNet staffers are over there saying, "We haven't got it quite right... we'd better trawl the fan forums for guides."
So in your opinion Yus Team should/will not listen to any die hard shenmue fans feedback.
The thread called "New Ryo & Shenhua models from press release". No matter if Yus team is reading here or not - at the end of the day its a discussion about the official and fan made models of the characters. Lets not make a drama of it....
But NoConKid has professional-level skill as a 3D artist. YsNet isn't hiring Photoshop hobbyists.
So its not allowed to criticize or even pick fan made model over his? The only thing matter is the product - in this case the model. There are hundrets of fan made projects with stunning graphics...for example the Tomb Raider 2 Remake.
