Enjoy.

 

[Nik]

Wow, cool

 

[Mrvile]

Funny thing is, he did a horrible job with that. Eyes and nose = epic fail.

Ok Leonardo, let's see you do better.

We're eagerly waiting for the Youtube upload of your attempt.

Hell, I'm just waiting for the vid in the OP to load. Thus far it's downloading at about 10 seconds of video per minute.

I am increasingly suspicious that TimeWarnerCable throttles streaming video - that, or else 7Mbps just ain't what it used to be. Or, I'm sorry, "up to" 7mpbs.

That was awesome.

My line at work is 1/10 that speed and it worked fine.

I don't know how.

But it doesn't take a Photoshop wiz to know that the editor missed some really important things in that video. Basic facial structure of the Navi = cat-like nose and large eyes that are set far apart. And watching that video, I'm pretty sure whoever the editor was knows how to do those things. Point is, if you're going to take the time to do something like that, might as well do it right. Internal structure > surface treatment. That's all.

it's a 2D picture, not a 3D frame + skin.

Like we said, let's see your attempt or stfu.

Yeah unfortunately the editor took it upon himself to turn a 3D frame + skin into a 2D picture and failed. With what people know about Photoshop these days, overlaying a cat nose and enlarging/pushing the eyes further apart doesn't seem like too much to ask.

Whenever a movie gets a bad review, do you whine and tell the reviewer to give it his or her own shot?

once again. let us see your best. stop diverting into other scenarios.

 

[Nik]

blah blah blah I'm a huge blowhard who doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, but wants to talk shit anyway considering if I even tried a 2D-to-2D conversion like the video posted I wouldn't know where to start because I'm too busy blowing my boyfriend and can't see the screen or reach the mouse in this position

Well said.

 

[Jeff7]

pause your porn

Yeah.....well....your mom and.........shut up!




No porns in sight.

Youtube's just about as bad for me; it usually downloads at about half the speed it needs to in order to play normally. However, Speedtest.net reports my download speed as somewhere around 5Mbps.

 

[Howard]

Well said.

I haven't seen the link, but...

Shut the fuck up. Somebody isn't wrong because they can't do the right thing.

Typical armchair warrior and we're calling him on it. Feel free to join him.

 

[n7]

Nice.

If he's an armchair warrior, what does that make you? The yelling guy in the crowd that nobody can find?

 

[Nik]

blah blah blah I have nothing better to do than to revive a dead argument

You don't say...

 

[Howard]

blah blah blah I have nothing better to do than to argue with a guy who I think is wasting my time anyway

Yes, I did.

 

[Mrvile]

I'm just going to let you guys fight this one out.

 

[gorcorps]

Not that I think Mrvile is right, but the whole 'let's see you do better' line in general is bullshit. You don't have to be able to do something better to know if somebody sucks. I can't play quarterback, but I know Jay Cutler isn't very good by leading the league in interceptions.

 

[Howard]

I'm not really fighting, I just think Nik's an idiot. A sometimes-likeable, extremist idiot, but an idiot nonetheless.

Well sometimes he can be a real idiot, but he does entertain me. I'm wondering if he knows what the word "constructive" means but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. He has a temper and it can be blinding.
