The street organs I've seen tend to have a huge amount of ornamentation on them. At the very least I think you'd want a bunch of relief details on your billboard, but I'd suggest going further and really giving the audience something to look at - that is the side they're going to see first. The travelling organ that…
Looks pretty good. On the first image the flat area on the hipoly got some funny stuff going on in the lowpoly. I assume it is supposed to be decoration but it doesn't look like decoration at all. Also that area is way too shiny. I mean I suppoes that's eye level and I wouldn't want my players to have to wears sunglasses…
very weird to hear you of all people asking concepting advice snowfly! what daz and mop have said about reference images is a great way to start. I fall head over heels for patterning and decoration - there's a lot of different types out there. I've taken reference images from a pretty wide array of sources - baroque…
Hey guys been working on this God of War inspired level for quite some time now and I feel like I need some inspiration/feedback to keep going. I have the layout that I want, and I am about to go and redo alot of the textures in Zbrush and materials as most of what you see are just Google/CGTexture texture maps for…
@Houuuuurr there are some issues with the proportions of the various elements of your crate. Go back to the ref image and compare the different elements to one another and you'll notice the issues I'm sure. @BillyJackman you're on a good start, what jumps at me is that your round decoration elements near the top surface…
thanks for the feedback it was definately what i was hoping for. As for what was expected from my instructor is showing the basics of what he had taught up to that point. I just really liked the feel of the level. The meshes on the top i will eventually replace as another guy was decorating that part and just seems odd…
At first glance it seems to hold up pretty well, then on closer inspection I think it starts to fall apart in quite a few areas. A lot of decorative trim is missing. The proportions on the top part of the turret are off. There are a lot of decorative columns that are missing. The scale and proportion of the windows seems…
Hi Eric! Thank you, yes that is just a quick test I will need to allocate some space to put two or three tilable decorations that I can place on the base, on the necking (the discs that separate the capital from the body) and on the boss(that is the very top of the capital). I have learned these two terms while doing some…
This thread is to document my progress on a small scene I'm making. The project as a whole is meant as practice in environment art and material art. I hope to speed up my pipeline and iteration process and not get stuck on details. The idea is to not follow a specific piece of concept art, but to piece together several…
I'm no expert on symbolism, so I may be wrong, but I think a star's meaning depends on it's number of points (at least in U.S. culture). The 5 sided star seems to be the most basic/generic/popular and is used for everything from the Dallas Cowboys (American Football team) to Lucky Charms (breakfast Cereal). If a five point…
