Hey Counters,

these are a few Screenshots of the scene I am working on at the moment.
Still got tweaking to do and I might change the lighting as well but i would love to hear your suggestions and opinions so far:)

p.s. will post WIP's and assets this weekend :poly121:

Tobbo

It's hard to make anything out with everything being washed out due to the harsh lighting. Sounds like a cool project though. Wish I could see more of what is going on.

Hey Tobbo,

you are right! I will definitely change this and post the results.

Here are a helmet and an eagle first

here the same shots with anoter lighting...

I hope now u can see better what is going on:)

but I will definitely work on this!

Hayden Zammit

This is looking nice so far. Love the roman stuff!

I think you went a bit overboard with the vines or whatever they are on the front of the tower. I think you should break it up a bit there.

Hey Hayden,

Thank you!
You are right with that ivy-stuff... I will change it.
Really appreciate your thoughts!

bjn

And yet again....

I am playing around with the lighting... Any suggestions???:poly142:

IMO the tower isnt having enough spotlight, like its not the focal point, the light rays arent pointing to the entrance or the tower itself, the rocks are getting it. Also some nitpicky stuff


put some stuff to cover this up.

Take it with a grain of salt. its looking really good though, I dig the atmosphere and cold feeling.

You are right. I will go over it tomorrow and will post some assets too:)

Thank you guys for the feedback and suggestions!!!

Excellent start!

I think you can definitely take this a bit further lighting wise, at the moment it is super, super muddy.

Your Image:


Quick dirty fixup in PS:


It probably wouldn't hurt to break up some of the perfectly straight lines in your man-made stuff as well, the log walls could for example be offset a few cm to the side along the straight bits in order to make it look less perfect.

@mystichobo, thats quite dramatic change, it looks really good.

iadagraca

Nice, it has a feel of a misty forrest. I like that kind of stuff

I think the primary thing your scene is lacking is contrast, or has it's contrast in the wrong places.

For instance if you take your scene and desaturate it, it the ground almost becomes a silhouette. Too hard to define forms beyond whats above you.



I think you need to bring out some of the textures more, like the rocks for instance could have a brighter color to separate it from the trees or be lit more. Or perhaps lighten up the ground below the foliage?

good luck

Thanks for the feedback guys!!!:)


I will go over dat LUT thing by tomorrow:poly121:

Peace Out!
