why is everyone being so mean to Xylvan? Whenever I make crappy 3D stuff, you guys critique, but you're being pretty mean to him for no real reason.
Ever seen A History of Violence? His movie is A History of Bad Choices. Oddly enough, mine is A History of Worse Choices Than Xylvan, but I guess that's more in the real life part of things.

Its not a bad model, with a few adjustments it could look amazing.
You're wrong, a few adjustments would not make this look amazing. Seven years of experience modeling tells me you're wrong. Everything Xylvan has posted tells me you're wrong. I'm going to say you're wrong again for good measure, because it really does need to be said four times.

A few adjustments could mildly improve this, but it would not under any circumstances make it an amazing model. There are a great many things you can do to make good models and Xylvan has done none of them. What he needs to do is to find tutorials and look at real models so he can understand the methods of making them. What he is currently doing, to me, appears to be creating a box, extruding it, mesh-smoothing it, and then planar-mapping it; that's how I started out, and I learned very quickly it was the wrong way to do things.

To summarize for you, Xylvan: read tutorials and you're doing it wrong.
