The only one that is passable is prepare to be subdivided. What about all the other ideas on the last thread?

can't seem to find the option 'none of the above'

Add3r · Oct 2014

Nope.

These feel very forced, like Seth MacFarlane wrote them with minimal understanding of some basic 3d terms.

Brian "Panda" Choi · Oct 2014

Christian, would it be fair to say you want to sell a fairly large volume of shirts?

moose · Oct 2014

i wouldnt wear it, but "I don't have enough ram to model your mom" made me chuckle

Muzzoid · Oct 2014

I like how you didn't even respond to the last thread at all.

Stop being an ass and making these dumb threads.

Lamont · Oct 2014

Reminds me of 1997~2001 with all the crazy t-shirts people wore.

Also, I am here for the replies to this thread. Now those make me laugh

.

Fwap · Oct 2014

I'd get this thread on a T-shirt.

juniez · Oct 2014

do I really want to be known as the guy with the 3D Your Mom inside joke t-shirt

PyrZern · Oct 2014

Can't we have nice 3d t-shirts design without insulting/being rude to someone ?

GarageBay9 · Oct 2014

I still want a long-sleeve shirt that's (128,128,255). Possibly with proper tangents changes in the crevices along the seams.

Francois_K · Oct 2014

This is really tacky.

Kwramm · Oct 2014

I want t-shirts with the old Alias Wavefront Maya logo

^^ So much this. It must be possible to come up with something that's funny and relevant, without being abusive or insulting.

WarrenM · Oct 2014

Just read the poll options ... most of those sound like something I'd have to explain to every non-computer artist I run into. No thanks.

Neox · Oct 2014

dude go back to your art

This is also funny

SuperFranky · Oct 2014

I would never wear something like that. I'd rather buy a Polycount shirt or something.

If you look through his post history he also created three different threads (two within 4 days of each other) for the one prop. 1,2,3. Seems a bit rude, especially if you end up wasting peoples time getting repeated critiques. Quit the nonsense, it won't do you any favours in the long run.

Xoliul · Oct 2014

wat is this i dont even

Shiniku · Oct 2014

Those ideas are ass garbage. None of these are witty at all, just juvenile.

pretty much sums it up.

Just, no.

Joost · Oct 2014

What's the point in having some obscure (bad) inside joke on a t shirt? If I'm going to spend money on a printed tee I'd get something with cool art on it or a Polycount t-shirt.

Tits · Oct 2014

Zwebbie · Oct 2014

People were much less critical of these jokes when they were written back in 2009.

Muzzoid · Oct 2014

I think the difference is between spending money on looking like a douchebag and riffing on dumb jokes that you would never use.

Brian "Panda" Choi · Oct 2014

Christian, I think if you for sure want to sell a bunch of Tshirts that reference 3D game artistry, it would help to go a more visual route.

Do a cool graphic, something that somehow encompasses all the hard work that goes into just making one asset.

If we want to make it funny still, maybe make a riff on "This is how many artists work on one rock asset." And have a rock split vertically into sections, transitioning in gradients between concept art, sculpt, wireframe, VFX, etc.

Just overall think fashionably. What would you wear to a date, or to a social function like GDC that works well with other pieces of clothing like jeans, shits, ascots, etc.

Well they weren't talking about paying for them on shirts.. And if anyone is curious/lazy, here is the OP of that thread.

I was having friendly debate with a friend awhile back, childish immature stuff but we were both kidding at the end of the day. And thinking back to the insults we threw back and forth, I was slightly amused

NegevPro · Oct 2014

We're doing this one again? I'm telling you, make a shirt with somebody or something pissing on the Autodesk logo and you'll be raking in millions of dollars a year. Use that money to buy out Autodesk and force even more stupid decisions onto your customers. This will cause the the value of each shirt to go up and people will likely want to purchase 3-4 more despite already owning one.

IT'S THE PERFECT SCHEME!

Christian Cunningham · Oct 2014

Sorry guys, If I wasted your time my bad. I thought I was being clever, Didn't realize how much hate I would create. But here is an image of the highest vote.

They will be on sale here:

Haters are going to hate, have a nice day.

NegevPro · Oct 2014

I was under the impression that you should try to work with as little geometry as possible in order to block out the forms of a mesh before subdividing. You might be able to sell more units if the model on the shirt was more detailed to imply that you are ready to begin subdividing the mesh. I'm not an expert in business, but I think a penis tank planted right in the middle would do the trick.

Now that I would buy and never wear.

Looks like there's a pole at the top of that sphere. Not prepared for subdivision!

So... wtf is 'Prepared to be subdivided' ?

Why not "SubDivide and Conquer"

Bertmac · Oct 2014

I think the composition / layout is pretty bad, the logo is to low. it should be on the chest. Next to that where is the Specular.

Plus the font blows

Francois_K · Oct 2014

Looks like it's selling.

Same time next week different thread , Christian?

ghaztehschmexeh · Oct 2014

It's not even a sphere that would subdivide well!

"For whom who want to express there love of 3D via there apparel."
"there love"

Christian Cunningham · Oct 2014

Love you all

Thank you for your ideas and critiques. When I do another shirt I will keep them in mind.

Brian "Panda" Choi · Oct 2014

Christian, I gotta be honest, and I'm being deadly serious here.

What's the intention with the shirt? Mass market or just a couple friends?

As well, I understand that PC has gotten nasty about responding to your poll. We shouldn't have communicated our thoughts that way, it's not loving or constructive.

I'm hoping that last response isn't sarcastic, because I'm scared if you come off as aloof and a bit biting towards others, it may subtly hurt other people's perceptions of you as a fellow developer, as well as color bad feelings vice versa. Trust me, it's screwed me over before, and I want to make it sure it doesn't hurt others as well.

Christian Cunningham · Nov 2014

I just wanted to make a t-shirt that fellow 3D artists would wear. I love my craft, so I wanted to show it on a t-shirt. Just like people wear Call Of Duty apparel why cant artist support there love as well. Apparently all I crated was hate.

Shiniku · Nov 2014

I get what you're coming from. I love my craft too. That's why I proudly wear my polycount t-shirt form time to time.

The idea of making a shirt that is an inside-joke for 3d artists is well and good, and I fully understand that. The only 'hate' is coming from the juvenile slogans and actual content/designs of the t-shirt, not the idea itself. A lot of people would probably be totally be on board to buy a clever 3d art related t-shirt, but throwing a few buzzwords and an insult on a t-shirt isn't going to get you a lot of support.
