I like your outdoor landscapes the best, although I'd have to say my favorite among them is the painting with the jugs. You need to work on your people painting though. Anyway best of luck, and just curious what resources are you using to learn?
Well its been a bit. I think I have the modeling done, mostly. I need to figure out how to connect all of the arrays of wall sections. I am not even trying to model the landscape until I get this part textured.
so here is an update i still need to add a few things like vertex painting and adding cloth physics for the flags. i also need to fix the landscape textures just need to figure out how again any advice or criticism is welcome
About time someone said, goodbye DW. It had amazing art and it's been left neglected like a pensioners garden. Time for some extreme mowing of the CG competition landscape. You should tie in with Threedy at some point and pull off the heist of the decade!
That udk vs crysis comparison is not a very good one, daylight vs night time, characters vs landscape. Im not biased either way, but I think its very hard to do a comparison when you dont have the same scene setup.
The landscape textures are looking really solid. The rocks are looking a little weak at the moment (low texel density, a little lumpy, not very interesting). Are you planning on having a fire or some light sources near the longhouse to bring out some other colours in the scene?
I'm really liking the second image, it feels a lot more dynamic and it's more interesting with the perspective and depth on the character, rather than the more static landscape feel in the first one, but that's just my opinion, they'd both be great final pieces! Keep it up! :)
I was thinking maybe you don't have collision on the mesh and thats why you cannot paint on it. If its a piece of landscape that is nicely lowpoly, you can just turn on per poly collision. Thats what you would probably do with it anyways.
@ubuska-- That landscape looks great! @markovnikov- You nailed a lot of the details, really cool looking, even if you don't do anything else to it. I laid some base colors on this so I would keep moving forward and not get hung up on some flaws.
i think it looks stunning. Better than C.O.D in some ways. I was thinking the other day, how i wish they bring Delta Force back, and seeing your thread with all this beautiful landscapes, it reminded me of that game and how it might look these days. Goodluck!
