@Jackwhat I'm not defending the practice of releasing an unfinished product. I'm not saying D3 is an unfinished product. I'm saying that Blizzard games always improve drastically throughout time. I think if any company deserves any slack on this, it would be Blizz, but that's just my opinion. I'm pretty sure they tested…

Hey guys, hope everyone's doing good. I'm going to be starting a small new project today. I want to continue improving my skills and i feel a diorama project could well do that. It gives me the opportunity to just create a few assets, but make them look amazing and continue with my development as a 3D Artist. I'm going…
