Its def. looking better imo. Now I would give it what I call a blob pass, where you add a slight random cloudyness to your textures. I have a cloud brush I use for this in photoshop, but you have to make it really subtle. This will make your textures look less flat. Also, did you really look at that link I sent you?…
Looks great... My only comments would be to agree with Hawken and Vig as well as add; the hanging rod confused me... it reads as a support beam at first glance... but upon further examination is clearly just a broken hangy poll... i would suggest reataching it or lieing it on the ground or something... it draws too much…
Hey everyone, I recently started going over condensing my future projects for learning environment art. Learning from my previous project I was a little 'too' ambitious, especially for starting out and never making an environment before. Though through that frustration I learned a lot and screw it, if there is no struggle…
Thanks for the nice comments everyone! I'm going to be cooking up youtube video tutorials on general approach (not how to's or anything like that) after the semester is over and I have some time during the summer. Right now I'm way busy with game design (which is exactly why i havent responded to this thread sooner, lol).…
Almost any camera that has a decent sized sensor and a good lens should work fine. I personally like to use a 50mm lens on a full frame camera (Canon 5D Mk2). I tend to avoid zoom lenses (Primes have higher quality for the price) - some photogrametry software prefers shots in a project to all be shot with the same…
Zak you really should change your post title. From reading the posts its obvious no one really gets that this WAS a Steampunk gun at one time that you are now scrapping off most of the Steampunk elements to make it appear to be a more modern gun. You can edit your first post and change the title. As for the gun I think the…
it's not even the lack of gloss that bothers me specifically, it's just the lack of crispness and color definition in this dude that just "bugs" me (ha-ha-h..... :\ ) Right now it's very noisy and kinda blurry, and there really isn't anything to focus on. It's just all kinda "meh" as a blob of color. I'm sure you can get…
Don't worry Vig, there are in fact some christians on this board, even if they don't say so very often Pretty good stuff, especially given the nature of the project and the time commitment. I think your color choices in particular serve the religious themes--very rarely is any art posted on this board needing 'safe' and…
Optimism, idealism, and enthusiasm are not in and of themselves bad things. We could actually use more of all of those elements in these trying times. It is just important not to allow them to cloud your judgement, or blind you to the realities of the world around you. I would look to my personal experiences for an…
I think the green houses eventually are suppiosed to provide most of the food, but until the settlement expands it will be relying mostly on shipments from earth, which will be offset by the greenhouse food to last the two years between shipment windows. That being said protein is a requirement, especially in a lifestyle…
