Firstly, props to Ryuu and Josh. We all know who they are and how much they have contributed to the hard surface modelling wannabe's like me.. I saw this vid on YouTube and this model was used to explain the texturing in Unreal. I'm not interested in that. I am only interested in the model.
So, am I an artist because I copied Ryuu's model? Yep, I'll tell you why. The form of that model inspired me. The principles that the Bro's teach also inspired me. This is about the work. I watched 100s of hours of videos and I've taken it all in and I am starting to understand what art is. It's work, no bullshit.
The model idea is not mine but the execution is and to me that is how I learn. I don’t know how to tag them, but the post is all about giving them credit.
