Why is one of the worst examples of the art, with some of the highest revenue in the field, unable to develop models with composition equivalent to a fucking video game dev?
The scale is all fucked up on the production miniature, the head's almost as big as the torso, it's like everyone's got giganto-dwarfism

>that rescale on the right
lmao this has to be a troll surely, it's a helmet, retard, you made it way too small

>>95969991
that's straight from space marine 2 home slice

Because they're toys for a game. Being to scale is irrelevant. Stop being retarded.

Also why are you saying "video game dev" dismissively as if it still means teenagers coding for the speccy rather than a global industry larger than movies and music combined?

Nogames is watching miniature models only from computer screen, not from his painting or gaming table.

doesn't change my opinion desu, it's ridiculous
at least there's practical considerations that lead to the design basis for the miniature being boofy, it's not some goofy pinhead overcorrection

Its intentional, the heads, hands and weapons are emphasized.

Proportions have always been off anon. I'm not saying it's ok for it to be like this (it isnt, it makes the models and game look retarded and childish), just that you are a few decades late in your criticism.

>>95969961 (OP)
you have no models. you have no games. you fail to even start a hobby that literal children can do. how pathetic.

>>95969961 (OP)
Because it doesn't look good. Since day one, like 1850, the option for accurate scaling has been present but avoided. Accurate scaling does exist though and, what a shocker, the only people that use it use for display art pieces.

I'm a 3d sculptor and have to actively fight my brain on this point because they look like shit when scaled correctly. I'm currently working on an Eldar knock off line, they're more in line with expected proportions but when on a base and looking down at them they look lanky and lithe despite having actually SHORTER proportions than 7.5 heads metric. Without opening up Zbrush to check I think I have them at 5 heads (same as GW) and they look lithe.

Also the fact you have pulled up your renders in non-orthographic mode tells me all I need to know about the kind of person you are, you telegram scraping heathen. I have no issue with people stealing models despite making money from them, it's just that 75% of the people that do are loud complainers that bitch and moan about modularity, scale, presupports, and drain holes.

ALSO left will be WAY easier to paint and print vs right. No way your lazy ass will get the post processing done neccessary for the ribbing effect on the abs to show, you'll leave your 6 month old wash alochol in every nook and cranny, paint it like shit, then complain about how your local gaming group doesn't allow prints.

>why are the super-roided GMO soldier freaks not proportioned like real people
This wouldn't be a problem if they could commit more to the idea that some aspects of being a Space Marine are actually not idealistic. Seems like they only really do it with Blood Angels and Space Wolves.

If the guard were proportioned that realistically it would just look like a rather pitiful attempt to put a realism hat on 40k and say LOOK WE'RE A REAL WARGAME GUYS. Trying too hard to appear mature will always be more infantile than the kitsch, derivative, sloppy, whatever you want to call it being what it is.

>unable to develop models with composition equivalent to a fucking video game dev?
Because a 3D artist for vidya games isn't having to make physical models at approx 32mm tall that are legible on a gaming table

>>95970639
Sorry anon, but minis with realistic proportions always look gay and retarded, at least in the 28/32mm scale. Not to mention that they are less enjoyable to paint
I do not understand why there is such a huge demand for them, especially in the 3d printing scene

>>95969961 (OP)
You are retarded and probably don't even play tabletop. Realistically proportioned figures don't look good at mini scale and even if they did they would be a bitch to paint. They would also be fragile

Short answer: autism, legitimately.

Long answer: these people don't have innate taste or aesthetic senses. They got into 3D printing out of cheapness 100% of the time. Not just "I can have more variety for less" but "I can have 40k specifically, for less". Once they print some stuff out they start to wonder what else they can do with it. Unfortunately these people are uncreative, like I said earlier, and the only thing they can think of is true scale marines. These are the guys at the FLGS that just loudly shut down conversations not involving them. They print in their apartment's front cost closet with no ventilation. They've never paid for a single file. It's not a bitterness I have towards them it's just that it's the same type of dude and there's tons of him and it's very specific. They're parasites on the hobby and society at large because the only thing they can contribute is ideas that they've overestimated the value of based on no real world experience, skills, or creativity. They're the people that don't seed for 24 hours and then complain the subtitles are in Arabic and say the movie sucked because the grenade pin wasn't period accurate.

>The scale is all fucked up
That's the whole point you braindead sperg

>>95969961 (OP)
Post painted models

>>95969961 (OP)
wtf? did nobody show true human proportions to Nintendo? compare the pic from Loomis' book in the op with this horrible picture of Mario, Mario's proportions are completely fucked up!

>>95970138
lmao this

I hate 3D printing

>>95971945
You seem like you're almost uniquely qualified to comment about autism but you're one of the last people who should be using it as a pejorative.

>>95970639
Part of the problem with comparing images online is that it misses the point that 28mm heroic scale miniatures were made by and for human hands. Obviously, the proportions are off at life-size, but they work much better for what they're designed for, painting and wargames.
True scale only exists because of no miniature owners secondaries who only see the pics online in a bigger size that it was designed.

It's the New Donkers' proportions that are fucked: all past Mario games had humans fit the same stylized portions of Mario for consistency and had the terrain scaled around Mario, so now you have a city full of 9 foot tall people.
