What inspires you and makes you :)
Hey guys, I was just thinking about what inspires myself and how some of the stuff I see and practice really gets me so excited. Do you guys love that feeling when you've just figured out something new and you always dreamed of doing it?
I just placed my very own asset into an unreal ed map with lighting and all and flung it around a huge room with the physics gun option!!
I can shoot it and see decal imprinted into it! That may not seem all that great to experienced industry proffesionals like most of you who have seen their stuff in an actual game but to me its been my dream to do that since I was 11. It only took me 4 and a half years ;P And it has inspired me to put something I make with a purpose, into unreal ed.
So, what inspires you guys?

And you think i'm immature.
You can take all the art and media away from me in this world and I will still create something because it's in my nature.
Except for me I already had been modelling since I was 12!
I just never...ever had an engine or worked with any team that was good enough to even get past planning.
So i've been a self taught 3d artist since 12.
You know, it ain't even that impressive. Sure, when compared to most people here they probably didn't even know anything about 3d modelling at 12, or probably didn't even have a pc. But we live in different times now with easily accessible internet, digital photography and amazing 3d/2d software. Its so easy to learn things by yourself now.
Anyway, in response to the topic... I'm not sure many things inspire me, at least not in the sense that most people would use that word.
Success motivates me.
Whether I see someone very talented at their craft and aspire to be as good as them, or whether I personally achieve goals that I set, or whether I just win in games, any kind of success motivates me.
Actually come to think of it, there is something more important than success; that is failure.
Failure motivates me more into succeeding
Uhu I get ya, sucsess is definitley a big part in motivation and inspiritation.
With creative comma placement, this sentence could be truly amazing.
I find all sorts of things inspiring. They can be as abstract as weird color combinations in nature or as simple and obvious as a pair of stonking great tits.
I recently had a conversation with a couple of teenage girls about things they should never, ever do to, around, or with men and the whole thing made me want to go write something sarcastic and cynical.
I saw a person walking along, wearing huge glasses that made me instantly want to draw a caricature.
One time I ate a nectarine that was so good it made me want to sing and dance.
Honestly, if something is in any way a unique or interesting experience for me, I'm probably going to get some sort of inspiration out of it, even if it's just as simple as seeing some contrasting colors or a person with weird glasses.
There?
ps. you type pretty good for being drunk. I usually am all over keyboard.
Tell my why this was the first thing that came to my mind, then the thread loaded and... i will just quote it.
Same here, and then...
:shifty:
Couldn't agree more.
What motivates and inspires me is to make some stonkin artwork that impresses other people.
Achieving goals that you set for yourself is always a way to inspire yourself... no matter how small or big the goal, as long as it's achievable for you.
Seeing otherwise normal people do shit that I can do, but do it for shits and giggles. I can't sing for shit, but when I hear or see someone who wasn't trained to do it professionally or someone that just does it for a hobby (and does it spectacularly) I am impressed. Insert any action (or what leymans call talent) here.
Am I inspired by looking at artwork? possibly, I think it's more of a 'shit if I spent a lot of time, I could probably do the same thing' type envy. It's a matter of your priorities and your goals... again... set achievable goals and you'll be a steamroller of inspiration.
I am joking. I agree with "Yozora"
yup. Got a couple of artsy porn blogs on google reader. It's very inspiring to come into the office after lunch and see some babes
Actually does not need the creative comma placement, as it stands now it reads as he is inspired by his friends in addition to having sex with beer, or, with the comma, by having sex with beer AND having sex with his friends. The sentence is full of win either way.
ha, seriously, other peoples artwork mostly. I also have good self motivation, with most anything I do, but sometimes that doesn't always work.
I have an artwork folder with thousands of different pieces I've collected over the years that I look at. When I say artwork I mean artwork.. not porn like someone would prob. say... :P
I just got a warning for that post... :shifty:
i always have a drive to make art for some reason, its like a drug to me,
