Upon reflection and having a good sleep, I am less irritated by the whole situation now and able to look on with non judgemental views.
Am I displeased and upset by the whole situation? Yes I am. Does this mean I should pout and spit my dummy out? No it doesn't.
As artists, no matter what site or store we use, we will have to jump through hundreds of hoops in order to get our media out to the good people that need it. As far as stores go, TGC is a relatively easy store to use and the percentage split is very fair.
I was a little perturbed as I felt like my model was refused or not authorised due to personal opinion rather than actual fact.
Now, this may be the case; however, this has spurred me on to make the model even better! I am deleting the texture, scrapping the UV map and getting back to the model itself.
I am going to add more detail. More vents, more screws (I didn't have any before) more piping and wires and then, I am going to make the best texture I can possibly muster. THEN, hope and pray that it meets the needed requirements to get into the TGC store.
I must say one thing though. While annoying me that my model was refused on the basis of a poor texture (opinion) it fills me joy to think that the quality of the models in the store in the future will be incredible!
Ok, Rant over.
Chris and The Next, apologies if you found my tongue to be sharp or offensive. Not my intention.
Cheers
Jay.
EVERYONE - Lets get back to making awesome models!!
