[WIP] Beach Scene - Looking for critique and improvements

Stewart774

Hi guys im looking for critique on this WIP environment as i think it looks a little bare. Im going to add windshield wipers to the van next.

Hi, the van looks nice but you're starting wrong. When starting work on such a scene you really should start with a blockout and a rough aproximation / composition where you'll place what. Maybe the beach should be behind the car, maybe you'd like to add some buildings behind or something, whatever you want to do make a plan / blockout first it'll help you a lot!

I agree with ArasTM. Creating a simple blockout always helps. You can adjust the scale, decide on level design and all that stuff before itself. Hence u will save a ton of time in the future and that is how every industry pipeline works ( I am still a student but that is what everybody tells me, hahaha). The Van looks nice butI I think u can still push it by adding dirt and stuff as it will be in a beach environment...
