JTerry

....ok, what do you need to know?

Snedgel

Just some advice for the image that i post before .

Wood texture test and wall texture test

Too much glossiness on your wood texture.
Real-world wood is more flat.

The specular you're using can be good for more plastic materials.
Just need to raise down the glossiness / specular of the wood and we'll see next.

the wall texture is too repetitive unless you put a ton of ivy and wood beams to hide it, but from close-up it looks nice. The wood is nice too.

you've never seen old wood that's been looked after, have you? wood that's used for building supports would be treated and varnished and would therefor have quite a shiny appearance vs newly sanded wood.

also, go find yourself some old wooden benches/tables that are made from quarter-sawn logs, a few years of use and they acquire a "natural sheen".

OK ty , i'm gonna change the specular for the wood.

I think you can fix the wall texture by removing the the darker part that makes visible tiling lines now and remove the one stone that is standing out the most.
The one that thing I find more annoying is that the wall texture don't wrap correctly around the corners. Best seen in your 4th render.

I like the wood you've done, and I don't mind the specular. Wood in the middle ages where mostly slightly burned on the outside, pitched (like the hull of a ship) or treated with blood of an ox. Mostly for waterproofing them and making them more durable and for artistics.

i think the grass texture should be made bigger so it doesnt tile as much it's very noticeable

Here is the plaster that i've done yesterday

May I ask what kind of school assignment this is and what kind of class this is being used for?

I'm doing a gamedesign education myself but it's rather lacking in practical environment art cases to work on and more focused on building games as a whole.

If you could give me some details on what kind of timeframe you get for this and or other restrictions are imposed then that'd be much appreciated

Other than that it looks like you're on the right track so far, might want to look into some large scale masks to break up the stone a bit on large tiled surfaces like the tower.

Nobody to give me some advice ?

Wonkey

My advice-don't stop, it is looking good!

TrevorJ

just thinking maybe the stone texture is a little too visibly tiled, i wouldn't do anything about it just yet though, you could easily change the material a little later on, or if needed the texture a little, or even vertex painting if you were thinking that.

Anywho, its looking great keep at it! this will be a great piece.

Wesley

Keep at it, man!
