Blizzard Contest Desert Scene

MrD4rth

Hey there guys!

first time posting on Polycount, working on a scene for the Blizzard environment contest, trying my hand at some hand-painted textures and foliage. Going for a desert ruins scene with small oasis giving some contrast to the scenes colors and theme. ANY comments critiques would be greatly appreciated![IMG][/img]

Ah, student contest. Well that's that I suppose. As for critique, your textures need more detail and variation to them. I would look at some of the current ground textures used in WoW and try to match that quality as close as possible. You can find quite a few screenshots on sites like http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/ by trolling through old news posts. Also, your foliage feels really flat right now. Even through most the foliage is alpha mapped planes, there is enough change in vale that the feel 3 dimensional. I would check out this video for some painting tips.
