I love this thread and these textures are soooo pretty. I might be jumping the gun here, youre still working on creating the scene instead of finalizing it, but the yellow lighting seems to be just the right color to wash out all of the other colors that make your textures pop, giving the entire scene a muddy feeling. The…
Awesome thanks for the comments! Spent the night polishing my skip cycle. Looking at the prop in the right hand, I liked how it has a pin in and felt adding one to the left hand would be a cool idea. Still need to add animation to the skirt, hair and shoulder parts but will wait until the cycle is closer to finished before…
Because I am a stupid artist the way I fake it is by shining a dim light right at the face. The illumination on the face itself will be almost negligible (and in some ways it might even help artistically), and the intensity doesn't have to be high to get a decent specular highlight from it. I figure that's probably how…
Couldn't agree more. I for one dislike the direction he took with the franchise but whatever, I'll live another day. People behave like nothing short of burning him at the stake will right these supposed wrongs he has enacted on them. He's probably already done more for humanity through his philanthropy than all the…
Agreed. sometimes it hinders your work because you start to rely on the light information the matcap is giving you and your bakes might not turn out as well as you think. Shapula has some cool matcaps. Watch Hazardous stream on Twitch and ask him about his mat caps too - I did that a year ago and use them all the time.…
@Pixelz, I scaled them all down a bit and added a bit more variation in size in certain areas. @Ayoub, right now there's just a Dominant Directional Light in the scene. @Poff, thanks! @Synergy, info on the Grass Tutorial below! About the grass tutorial, I'll try to get around to it sometime this week but I'm trying to get…
Looks great man! I think having some more color variation in the dirt will help sell it, as it comes across as slightly flat right now. Even just some subtle variations between lighter and darker grains of dirt should help. I think the main dirt color value also might be a bit too bright, unless it is meant to be a very…
I think you'll want to turn the spec down on the ruber, right now it's still reflecting a lot mroe light then it should compared to your reference image. Same goes for your leather seat. You might also want to add some natural leather texture detail to it, ie…
Im with the above critique. The forest environment got killed by bad lighting. I am on my macbook with the brightness maxed out and I can barely make out a lot of the forms, let alone the texture work. Also the camera moves in the forest aren't very appealing. Final note, your contact information at the end should be…
the last two are looking good, but i really don't like the first one looks like its for a circus and depending on the size you are going to display these, they might hinder the sight usually these combo "popups" are right in the center and cover half of the screen, therefore they have no real background, but letters yours…
