Dreamy
Got curious to see how long it would take to model the new dreamy CYBRTRK.
15 minutes without looking at the dreamy original. Formed a heptagon, pulled its points in various directions, extruded, made wheel openings. Formed four more heptagons for wheels.
By comparison, a real car like Polistra's R8 takes several weeks to model. (And the R8 is among the simpler car shapes. I wouldn't dare try a swoopy shape like a '59 Chevy.)
Why is CYBRTRK dreamy? Here's why. I figured this would happen, and sure enough it was much worse than I imagined. Sucker Number One.
I've discussed this father-son comparison before. The son, also predictably, has a rational and well-informed discussion of the subject.
Recently the father retired from running his website. Since he retired the website has been a bit less active but a lot less biased. Perhaps we're seeing why he needed to retire.
Couple days later: He's doubling down.
