OK I am a little late in posting this project as it has already been set a week or so, and will probably have to 'submit' it before I get any feedback, but I figured I would share it anyway as I can always go back to it. Brief: To create a scene within limits based on the theme 'They Landed'. Texture limit is 1 x 2048x2048…
On the new home page, the final entry seems like an odd man out - remaining monochrome on mouse over instead of changing to a colored version like the other 2, giving very little indication when it is the selected item. Perhaps having the unselected version in shadow would work until you finish texturing it. Perhaps a…
It's lot about the lens you're using. You can get a perfect quality on old DSLR's like Canon 400D that is cheap and but a Carl Zeiss Jena DDR 35mm lens that is ultra sharp. I used such a setting, also I can recommend other M42 lenses (you need to buy an adapter from EOS (Canon) to M42) like Helios 44M 50mm or Pentacon…
Hey guys. Thanks a lot for the input. Yes The "reel" might be too strange and it might not help me find a job. I just wanted to put together some of the work, and see how people react to it. This work is usually showed on large projections, with dancers, or actors or singers performing in front of it. It is not commercial,…
Hey man, I know you're going to try and address how dark it is so I won't crit that, one issue I think you have and that can be easily resolved is that you're hitting pretty much every colour you can which is making the scene quite hard work and my eyes don't want to seem to settle anywhere. For example, do I want to focus…
Hope this helps: 1. The first thing I noticed was how slow it took for your images to load. Looking at your picture file sizes they are way too big. Your images are png. Save them out as jpegs and they will half the file size for the same quality. 2. Center your text and images, people that have large monitors might not…
I'm hesitant to recommend which you should finish as I'd like to see them all finished, haha. That said, the largeness of the first definitely looks like it would make for an awesome CTF/TDM map similar to: [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e04xQaBlP8M"]Hall of Giants[/ame] The purple/teal scheme gives off a bit of a…
There are a couple of threads on normal mapping on the technical talk forum that helped me a great deal in understanding what is going on. This is a huge topic, and a lot to take in. It will take time to figure out how things work, why you should do things in certain ways, and how they relate to Blender.…
Uh, John, I think the "combined map" part of the image is just Slipstream showing what the diffuse/spec/normal look like together. Slipstream: Pretty cool model - I like the proportions and the poses, and the colours are pretty nice too. Nice breasts - they don't look like implants, as we see a lot of around here :) My…
You'd have a stronger piece had you done your reference homework. I googled "construction site interior" and in the first four images this popped up: So, breaking down this image there are a lot of things that would make your compositions not only more interesting; but by including some of the elements from this ref, and…
