I think you should put some more work on the blending between textures on your tree. Right now I think the bottom part is a bit too "scaly" to be on a tree.

if u really want a challenge... paint the water texutre. right now it's the only material that really looks like nothing else

I agrea with what Shoutgun said, I think its really pulling the peice down and just dosen't look right.

KyleJensen

Thanks for the crits.

How would I go about painting in the water? Should I grid it out and paint it uniquely, or make a tileable for it?

This is some real fun painted work, gj so far.

I'd also like to know how you'd go about painting in the water.
I saw a really cool thread a while ago about someone that painted in a very nice river bottom but I cant remember where it is or I'd link it. It's in here somewhere.

KyleJensen

Painted some water and made a shader for it.









Let me know what you think. Crits and comments are appreciated.

At first I thought 'hey that's a nice little texture for the water there.' and then I scrolled down and saw the material layout... wicked!

Great water, your shader looks great. I think it can be a bit more random now, I'm not sure until I see it in motion though.

KyleJensen

Made some stylized nikau palms and smoothed out the hills in the back.





Here's an iteration with the old hills for comparison:



Crits and comments are greatly appreciated.

What's with the lighting on the grass? It's not matching anything around it.

The water is a bit too pillowy. Maybe tone back the normal map on it some.

The palm tree leaves texture is really nice. You're stepping your texture game up.

yea... i agree with Jeffro, your water right now reads like a big stone path. You should prbly have some glittering spec and some reflections to add to the water. Just play with it i guess.

The grass seems colored evenly across the whole scene.

What kind of light are you using? where is your lightsource? and what kind of shadows are you using?

It just seems like most of your scene is just tones and not many shadows can be appreciated. I think you need a more defined light source to add contrast to your scene and bump up your highlights and dark areas. It will help with your composition and make it more dramatic.

I really like the style tho. it's coming together quite nicely. Keep up the good work!
