This is how we sometimes lose people who come to work on our project.

@Anaxandridas ho Skandiates

 had already given me this level of trouble in the past.

And from what I see, @Anaxandridas ho Skandiates left, and you are still here, so...

It's a bit hypocritical to say I can't use AI to play or imagine

I'm not saying that, but if you just dismiss or demean whoever points out something from an AI image, don't rant if you get called out. You are wrong if you think I'll just idly sit and take your BS. Do the smart thing and either provide clear evidence or just say "I don't have any, so that part of the AI image has to be ignored by whoever does the models". And, again, that's simply the end of it. Multi-post whining from you is truly not needed.

Had to use BS because the forum won't show bad words :)

Gosh. The artist intended to portray accurate footwear, which doesn't have straight edges near the eyelets, but curved ones, as every piece of evidence shows. You are just making up what you can't see from a far away sideways drawing.

 

Delusional.

 

Not enough.

 

Which is just what I did, in a couple of lines. It's you who started acting like some kind of crazy person regurgitating posts that didn't even address the actual point. Just go back and read again.

 

It's not hyper-realism, it's pointing out errors to filter some of all this information. I am also concerned and commented about combat disorganisation, but that is irrelevant right now.

 

Sure, you can keep you-are-new-splaining after an error is pointed out if you want, I just think it would be better for you to try not to look like an ass.

 

Look in the mirror after reading all this exchange again.

 

Why only one? I went through about a dozen books for the Spartans, and same for the Athenians. I went through one just for the Sasanians (and at least an additional article) because @wowgetoffyourcellphone wanted information fast, and I was shifting my focus from what I was actually doing. Ideally I'd want to go through all vanilla and then DE civilisations, but available time is obviously an issue, which I'd prefer not to waste because some crazy person on the forum can't tolerate being told that one of this random AI images have inaccurate footwear and thus needs to demean the discussion he himself says is supposed to happen, which makes the whole thing utterly ridiculous.

You see, that's more useful and less sterile.

I remind you that I am the one who has been working as a contributor here for some time.You, on the other hand, do not.

Apart from you and a few other experts, nobody is going to read an entire book just to make boots for a 3D character( low poly and low definition quality).

I am tolerating your criticism, what I am not tolerating is that you are presuming my intention.

You think AI is going to know about Iranian boots in 3rd century?

I'm telling you that AI doesn't know what a  helmet is.

 

You'll get stressed, but most artists don't represent history, especially those who work in Hollywood as it's believed to be.

You should take things made with AI as sketches or approximations.

What we artists do are sketches and approximations that a third party gave us.

And one thing that bothers me is that you think or say that I'm saying: this is 100% historical, do it this way.

Don't make assumptions I didn't make. I even clearly stated that I did it with AI.You must assume that it is not 100% because if you correct one part of the drawing, it will ruin another.

In all honestly, I couldn't give less darns. That doesn't give you any authority or veto over matters of historical fact, so, instead of fallaciously waving insignificant pseudo-credentials, a reliable source or two is what would do it. Otherwise, I couldn't care less if you, or anyone here, have been around since the Big Bang.

I'm not making assumptions beyond what's said. It's clear that you "did it with AI", that it will struggle with "Iranian boots in 3rd century", that they are "sketches or approximations", and that you don't necessarily say "this is 100% historical", so there will be mistakes, hopefully pointed out in the discussion you yourself said could happen, so, again, re-read your whole reaction to me just doing that.
