What's your Nick?
Sunday, February 23, 2003 by Green Armani | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Alright, I've gotten quite a few people ask me why are you calling yourself Green_Armani. The answer is that I'm a Marine and being far from a corporate environment my old commanding officer would give us a pep talk at our weekly formations. He would talk about this and that, and he would always say "It's not easy to come to work and put on this green armani suit" The thing is, he wasn't talking about an expensive 3 peice suite, but rather our camaouflage uniform. So, having said all that I was really thinking hard for a good nick and it just hit me to use that. Anyone else wanna say how they came up with their nick? Come one what else do you have going on

Green_A: That was rhetorical. I really don't want to discuss the matter anymore.

Amazing!!!
Thats all I can say. I am at a loss for words, quite uncommon for me.
I wish I had a quarter of your talent Green_Armani. I can never make human or other organic forms.
Maybe I need a Guru like you to show me the path...
@shu sits cross legged on the floor, palms on his knees, eyes closed and meditates hoping that it would make him a better artist, a bit like Green_Armani.

@shu your too much!!! I can make things like this but were I stumble is piecing it together. No good having this guy hovering over nothing.....I want to put him in a scene that blends well with his look but ARGHHHH I'm frustrated about the whole thing.
Green_Armani goes to gym to take frustration out on weights.....

Green_Armani that is damn sweet
I signed on over at Renderosity a while back just to be able to see such work as this
Kind of as a personal muse kind of thing, inspirations to pull out the artistic stuff buried deep inside all these years and your work, those like it are what has been helping these months for it to happen
I am still stuck wondering though, once I do get active again, will I have it in me to share it with others, it was always so personal a thing, everything inside came out on paper and almost always ended up hidden away in a box stuffed under my bed, in the closet, under cloths in a dresser drawer.
anyway
maybe that part will rub off also and I will get past that conditioned?/primal? fear of showing to much of whats inside
thank you for the link, going to have to browse your gallery now

My renderosity gallery is pretty much made up of fractals that I've made (my second passion behind Brycing) so that is definetley not my best there but thank you for the remarks. I've never been afraid to show people my work (if I can actually call it that) mainly because I have no shame and that I make things that I like not for others to like. If someone else finds it interesting it pleases me but it really isn't important. To be flat out honest I have only been making 3D anything since this past Thanksgiving weekend. I think I have improved a lot since then which is only about 3 months but it really has opened doors which I thought were closed to me. I actually been coming to WC for a year prior to that wondering how all of you did it and that I could never but with some patience and encouragement anyone can show their "insides" it they want.

Hope you don't mind Green_Armani, but I have a suggestion for a wallpaper for that particular rendering.
A small change though, if you could tilt the guy's head upwards and perhaps his arms wider (Kinda Christ - like), and show a few gadgets lying (or an android kneeling) by his side. It would be like the Guy is the Prophet for Geeks!!!
Hope u do not mind this mindspeak, but I have to see that piece being made into a wall!!!

I'll keep that in mind. I was thinking to have a few pewter`d women at his feet or something along those lines. I do want to put them in a labrynth of some sort but I'm gonna have to make it and that could take me a while. I'll post an update as I go along

I really like the Fractals too
for a time when I was younger I had my walls covered with black light posters of em and they always just kind of pulled you into them.
One spiraled in and had a guy in a blue three piece suit who was floating up out of it, or down into it depending on how you looked at it, his head was an Egg

I don't get the point to all this GUI modification stuff. Where does it all stop? Why do people upload crap that doesn't work completely or hasn't been checked. The focus should be on efficiency and effectiveness of the OS, not the fancy colors and buttons. And whilst I'm ranting, where the hell is window blinds 4 that I've been hearing about since I wasted my money 4 months ago? It's nice that people have a place to express their talents, but it really does not achieve anything but slowing your computer down. Every time I reboot my computer, it has to kill window blinds. My thoughts, not yours.

Whoaa..werent we talking about our nicknames?? 
G_A, that design its really awesome. The idea of the women around or at the base of the male figure sounds great. Follow up on the detail of the fire reflexion on his face. I cant wait to see the finished result.
By the way, those who wonder about my nick,... well is a long and alcohol enduced story back in my teenage yrs. I have always been facinated with the book of Apocalypse of the Holy Bible (Im not a religious fanatic) so, when I got my 1st PC back in--I forgot what yr-- I used the nickname Apocalypse (remembering that day we got drunk) I later added the 67, which is the yr I was born, due to the fact that lots of the sites I have joined, the nickname was been used.

stoobear: what exactly did you "waste your money on, four month ago"?
If you purchased Windowblinds 3.x, then for one thing Windowblinds should start automatically at start up (I believe the shareware version has to be restarted after reboot). Also, when you purchase a Windowblinds version, that is what you buy: a Windowblinds version. You must purchase the new version when it comes out. It's the same for every software. If you buy Windows ME, you don't get Windows XP for free. But, having said that, Stardock is nicer than Microsoft or any other software vendor: if you purchased Windowblinds 3 a short time before Windowblinds 4 is released, then will indeed give you the version 4 for free. I don't know exactly what constitutes "shortly before" though. I think you may try to contact Stardock sales to find out. Besides, Windowblinds 4 is not even out yet. It's still in alpha, not even beta; so you't even purchase it, even if you wanted to.
On the other hand if you "wasted your money" on Object Desktop, four months ago, then you do have access to all the alphas and betas of Windowblinds, along with every other software part of Object Desktop.
But if you don't like customization in the first place, then this is definatly the wrong site for you. Go somewhere else.

just to throw in my input; windowblinds doesn't slow down your computer it speeds it up. the skins here are made for many different reasons, some of those being fance buttons... others being useablity... and if you aren't into all of this modifiation stuff leave... why are you here??? honestly we don't need you here... Troll... and don't ever call anyone elses artwork crap. just because you have no talent of your own, doesn't mean you have to put down someone else who does... and if you think you wasted your money on windowblinds you may be right... the money would have been better spent on a brain... (and just to let you know... no one promised you WB4... you bought WB3 so live with it... it's a good program...)
