I'm talking about money. Both building physical and CGI sets are time consuming, but one costs more than the other to build. I'm also talking about space. One can take up a storage room to house, the other can be contained in a flash drive.
And I'm not angry about Tim saying no to CGI, I'm angry that he says my work is a joke without an explanation. If it's a joke, then my monthly income from my Youtube partnership is ha-ha money.
Absolutely, miniatures are excellent alternatives to full-scale models. It can be accomplished with both real and CGI bricks and had Rob said he wanted a scaled down version of the Titanic, it wouldn't be a ridiculous request. It would still be a request lacking in specification, though.
My statement about the "ridiculousness" is because there's a lack of appreciation for what CGI artists have to do to fulfill these requests. I prefer to work with someone who at least tried to build the models, provided storyboards and description, and pretty much be the director of the project with me being the CGI artist. This is coming from experience. You can't expect us to know what you want and do all the work for you. At best, you provide us with the models/sets, camera and lighting positions and specs, storyboards, and 24/7 constant communication and we give you our CPU and memory and CGI skills.
I stated the "ridiculousness" of these requests not to say that you're not going to get help from us. I'm saying you need to meet us halfway. And the past couple of requests I've seen or gotten, only about two were able to meet halfway. You've seen one result of that. This thread, for example, would not be meeting us halfway without making further discussion.
And Pillow, you should spellcheck that. It should say pissed off.
But that's a very good idea Realbrick.
