Small update - I resculpted the rocks a but and rebaked the textures. Also, I updated the rock material by adding a fresnel and detail normal to it. Other changes: I blocked in the horse and cart on the bridge, rearranged some of the rocks and moved some of the foliage around. The railing at the top of the bridge is next.…
Looking better than before! Give the rocks a little more love, they look flat and uninteresting. Maybe some cracks, or moss of sorts. Maybe some subtle dark tinting or noise along the bottom of the rocks to show that they are wet from the water's rim.
starting to look really nice! I think the rocks on the right side would light a bit better if they had the sharp/flat faces like in the painting. It could just be that the detail normal is a bit bloby in that area. It might also look really nice to get some of that warm light you have bouncing under the bridge hitting the…
Here's an update. * I reworked the bridge mesh a bit. * Did a first pass on the waterfall mesh and material. * Rearranged the rocks for better comp * Lowered the water level after placing water fall. * modeled a proxy mesh for the wooden railing. * iterated on foliage material. Added translucency and normal map. Played…
Update time. DavidBrumbley - Thx man. I will keep plugging away at the rocks. In this update I reduced the detail normal and rotated the rock closest to the bridge around to a more planar looking side. I still plan on creating another rock that has a more planar look, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. RaventhePirate -…
This one is pretty close to being done folks. I plan on doing some minor cleanup work, but since my schedule is getting tighter I'm calling it 99% done. The railing still needs some love and the rocks need more variation texturewise, but I'm happy with how it has turned out so far.
Im really liking this!,i agree with the post before about the slanted rocks, i feel it gives it more height to the bridge, also would it be possible to see a wire of that bridge and workflow? im wondering if you made each stone individually placed then baked them down to a low poly or is there some other wizardry going on…
Think you know what you're doing here. Yeah, the waterfall needs more love and made more interesting. Also. what would add more interest is variation in the rocks' shape and colour, same goes for the foliage. Do you intend to include the horse and cart carrying hay as well? Adding the swimmers and dog would be asking a big…
Hey everyone. Its been awhile since I've posted here. I started working on a new portfolio piece based on a Hubert Robert painting. One trap I don't want to fall into is to try and replicate the painting, but to stay close to the overall look and feel of it. Here's my scene: The rock meshes are very placeholder right now.…
TonyNowak - Thx. I will probably do a meshpaint on the rocks and do as you suggested by adding moss, cracks, and wet areas where the water splashed up. Mr Significant - Thank you. I dialed down the detail normal quite a bit and I think that was the main cause of the plastic wrap look. The skydome is about 50% painted and…
