WIP Chemical Spill
Hello everyone.
I'm working on a 3D Assignment at the moment, I'm planning on creating a chemical spill which will have a radioactive insect crawling through it. I've learned a lot over the last few months, our tutor is really great at explaining how everything works. But I've only really just got into 3D, so I was hoping you guys could offer some criticism or maybe some suggestions, on what I've done so far, the chemical barrels.
Here's what I'm working toward.

what... because its a cylinder?
The toxic waste itself could have a lot more form I think. Add a bit of geometry to make it feel thicker and get more substance.
That's my 2 cents anyhow. GL with your project.
anway nice start, But You should probably make some adjustments to the 3d part---and as others have mentioned concentrate on creating a metal look to your material--instead of a concrete look
Keep up the work dude,
later
You should be trying an approach similar to this:
That's just a quick example, but you'll want to really define those round loops a lot more for a better profile, at least that's my opinion. Hope it helps.
But about the barrels, I'm splitted. It's true they does not look like the concept, but the way did them, it make the overall picture more realistic.
In the concept, the barrels give a kind of retro style (nothing bad about this)or like what I've seen in some comics, and after looking at your render I thought "hey that's right, radioactive stuff should better be confined in huge things like that "
Well, if you see what I mean, choosing to keep your first model, or doing another one that fits the concept, it gives two different directions to your work, it's up to you.
I also think that the spill may be a bit flat, but perhaps this is due to the fact that you didn't have a floor yet? I like the texture itself.
Maybe adding spill on the border of the open barrel, too? well it's just my opinion, I can't help thinking about TMNT and the radiactive stuff is like "slime"
I also like the dirty texture on the barrels!
A lot of you agree that the model really isn't true to the concept. I agree with that point, and I did create a barrel similar to what is depicted in the concept (I'll upload a screen of it later), but for now here's a bit of an explanation as to why I modeled the barrel the way I modeled it. I personally thought it looked a bit creche' so I decided to go with something which looked a bit more original. The concept was also a reference used largely for the layout of the scene, and for symbols I might use on the chemical barrel. That's why they look so generic, at the time I wasn't looking at it being a final design.
I'll definitely try to fix up that texture to make it look more like it's made of steel, and tone down the saturation a bit.
I'm in class at the moment, but I'll post again shortly with some screens of the first barrel.
Thanks again everyone.
The texture on the barrels doesn't really read as flacking chipped paint, the specular seams too regular. I would up it on areas that see more impact (raised areas) and lower it to read as old paint elseware.
