I'd like to join Team Daidalos.

I have nothing against no one. I'm just saying that if he were brought upon the team there would be many problems and great upsets to the community(s).

If it's for skinning. Maybe. If it's for anything other than Photoshop. I give him "Le Grande Non". lol

And everyone has substantial stuff about everyone. My Motto ist: live and let live.

Then why did you find it necessary to post what you did in an open forum?

I don't see what's the big deal. It's not as if Owl joining DT will result in the introduction of an F-16 into the plane-list, lol! If he shows enough interest/enthusiasm, then he might eventually become an asset.

+1

Actually, I think he is an asset already, for no better reason than his enthusiasm. OK, he can also be a pain in the nether regions, but at least he shows spirit. We probably need a bit of this to counter the endless 'FM porked/uber debates', and rehashes of arguments from five years ago.

And anyone who can introduce a 'SB-3 pencil mod' can't be all bad (though for god's sake don't include this in the next patch).

EXCUSE CAPS BUT BEING A MODERATOR AT aaa I FELT THAT I NEED TO GIVE MY OWN ADVICE.

Despite any progress Owl might have made skinning wise, he is not to be trusted. He has been banned countless-number of times from AAA and has proved to be a dangerous kid. He's boasted he has everyones IP and has said what he could do with this....

Plus, with posts like these, he continually spams saying he can do this and this. On closer inspection of his work, he can't do anything that he boasts. Additionally, he is not dumb; if I'm right he's 14/15 and no 14/15 year old I know is as naive as he is.

I URGE; TREAD WITH CAUTION WITH REGARDS TO OWL!

(however, give it a few years, I'd be interested to see what work this kid can do )

Philip, 13 IIRC.

If a 13 year old knows enough to join Daidalos, then I'm sure about one thing: this guy needs a social life URGENTLY.

[philip.ed]

Aye. I mean, I am of a similar age and I am not nearly as naive; nor was I a few years ago. He clearly knows the ropes about these things, and comes over as a naive child to a) create discussions such as these and b) to cause arguments in the community.
He could potentially be a good modder, but he does everything the wrong way.

Can't make those kind of assumptions (that the person has no social life). Also, who are we to judge about the social stuff? People have wildly differing preferences with that.

My advice to Owl (as a fellow artist) is to keep working on improving and producing the highest quality work. I'm sure that once it reaches very high quality levels (if distributed in the community) it will get noticed.

Beware of over or under-estimating yourself. Be realistic. Don't take critiques personally but see if they are correct, and if so, figure out how to improve it. If there's something you don't feel confident at, or just feels very difficult (and as such probably not very fun) to do, do that one thing especially, until you get it right. There are no shortcuts. Learn how light theory works (ray tracing, types of surfaces, glossy/matte/mixed/liquid/particle contamination/specular lighting/global lighting aepifjaepfhaeA).

Brash youth needs only discipline to bring out the best in them. Given time and allowed to age before preassured to perform , Owl is liable to be the start of the next generation of " geeks" like the previous generation of "geeks" that gives us these MARVELIOUS games to flitter our lives away with. Please do not discourage him ... but you all have the stage to provide guideance for his enthuisiam and eagerness to assist and his willingness to learn. Please do not put out this smoldering coal least we loose his passion to bitternes and contempt ,,,, and that goes for all you enthuisastic persons out there. Step up and step out !!!!!

Just a bit of random humour...

I'd like to join Team Daidalos.

-What about you?

-I'll have just a Sprite.

He really started to model an F-16 for Il-2?!

Philip, can you give me links for these threads by PM, I can't believe in what I'm missing
