Hey guys first post here.

I’m a 3rd year university student at the University of Hertfordshire. I’m trying to push my work to industry standard so if you could leave a comment or any crit that you have that would be fantastic and will be taken on board.

This is a piece that I’ve been working on it’s a spawn beacon out of Battlefield 4 It’s about 2000 poly’s. This was my first time trying out DDO I tried not to rely on it though I just used it for the edge wear and that’s it everything else was done in Mudbox or Photoshop.

its not very easy to see the object in the renders, I think you should make a render like your first one, but textured

Ye sure here you go.

The edge wear is a little too uniform. If you look at the references, you can see how additional paint has worn off of raised edges and damage is less pronounced in cavities. dDo can give you similar results if you play with it, but you may want to give your most and least exposed edges additional retouching.

Ye that's something that I noticed when I was done but wasn’t too sure about be ye ill go back in a change it up a bit.

Thanks.

looks good to me, spot on. Though the back of the box is too noisy. Tone it down a bit.

what a detail! it's really good, but the tripods are can't hold the big radar dish.

JGBulmer

Thanks guys. Ye I’m going to be editing it up mid-week and take you feed back into account when doing so.

Hey guys a while since I posted. This is an environment that I’m currently working on. All rendered real time in UE4, there’s a lot to do still but I’m happy where it is at the moment. I still want to add in a cave on the right and a door way in the middle. Let me know what you think.
Thanks.

JGBulmer

I’m calling this done for now.

I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, let me know what you think crit is always welcome.

That radio looks great I only wish I could see it in better light. The lighting is really dark.

The great thing about Marmo Toolbag is that it's really straightforawrd to get a nice looking render with a quick 3 point light setup and some tweaking of the render settings.

The vegetation looks a little off in contrast to the rest of the scene. I think you need to give them a more green-ish/yellow hue and desaturate them. Have a look at some desert references, colour pick from them and try them on your vegetation.

Absolutely I will look into setting up a new lighting set up, Thanks.
You can see a bit more of the texture when the light hits in because most the detail is in the gloss map bit I put a bit more into the Diff to really make it pop.

Hey guys just finishing of this piece.....

Gheromo

JGBulmer You should look into calibrating your screen! Most of your images have over the top contrast as well as they are too dark, which makes them almost impossible to see.

JGBulmer

Thanks Gheromo I'll look into that.

For future renders.

Hey guys just finished up these two pieces for my game cinematic that i'm working on.

That look's ace, I like the floral pattern detail on the piano and fireplace especially. Clean polys and UVs,

JGBulmer
