\t\t\t\tAfter seeing what one artist can do in Mount and Blade I realize I wasn’t getting my money’s worth from my existing outsourcing art team. Several times recently at my job I will look at what other artists can do at my contracting job and say “Wow, one artist did all that?”<\/p>\n

What really was the last straw was when they sent me this, as a carrier interior<\/p>\n

\"Carrier<\/p>\n

It’s just a tremendous ugly mess. And I look at what they did up close and you see this:<\/p>\n

So they spent a huge amount of time modeling control panels right down to the lights, when you actually play the game with the camera about half a kilometer away (as in the first screenshot). I’m about the least competent artist there is but even I understand if you are looking at objects from half a kilometer away maybe you shouldn’t spend time modeling buttons you don’t even see. They’ve been playing the game for 3 months too, so I’m dumbfounded on how this wasn’t obvious.<\/p>\n

This has been going on from day 1, which is why it took them 7 months to do essentially half the work they were contracted to do in 4 months. It’s not that they can’t do a good job, it’s that you can’t leave any detail unspecified.<\/p>\n

I give up. I’m going to find someone preferably local to salvage the situation.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
