Hi everyone, First, thanks for this forum. I'm fairly new and shy, and it seems like a great place for 3D, lots of cool projects :) I'd like some feedback on my latest project. My first idea was to experiment with PCG (Procedural Content Generation) and possibly turn it into a full scene. This is where I've ended up so…
Hello, I followed Vastra’s advice and my intuition so I changed projects. This one is more intimate, and I focused on composition from the start. It’s simpler, and I’d like to ask for your opinion again. Still Unreal (lot to learn about PCG, thanks for the tutorial of Procedural minds on Youtube) with some da vinvi color…
I think it's really important to design a narrative before creating an image. What is the image trying to communicate to the viewer? Defining this will allow you to make decisions about how to arrange the scene, where to put the camera, how to light it, etc. Without a clear goal, the viewer is left wondering why they are…
I think this is a great improvement! It’s now very clear what the main focus of the image is. :)@Araka Personally, I’d suggest not getting stuck on one project for too long. You often learn more by taking the lessons from this piece and applying them to a brand-new, smaller project. That said, if you feel there's still a…
this is good article about rule of thirds and why not to follow it blindly tho. But i would say its more advanced when you think about tangents leading shapes and stuff. There is world beyond rule of thirds https://petapixel.com/2016/01/30/10-myths-about-the-rule-of-thirds/
Wow, thank you all for the advice and kindness ! 😊 Here’s my new version, I think it’s better, but it’s hard for me to judge. I know I still need more practice, so in addition to your feedback, I’d love your opinion: Should I spend more time refining this image, or would it be better to move on to other subjects and try…
Welcome! Overall it’s a really nice looking scene. :) One thing that stood out to me is the focal point. Right now, the bridge and the stone lantern both draw a similar amount of attention, so it’s a bit unclear where the viewer’s eye should settle first. You could maybe push one of them more as the primary focus, either…
It looks like there's a path on the left that leads to the bridge but it's not very obvious, so the untouched grass around the bridge entrances make it seem untouched by humans but very clean. Also this sounds stupid but I'm not smart enough to articulate it better, the lighting on the bushes seems a bit too dynamic…
Btw something else that you started doing already that helps a ton is depth. Having a clear foreground, midground and background. If you implement that in combination with the rule of thirds and make sure that your lighting and color support the same focal point that the composition does - you'll be ahead of most people!…
I think what you have is already a solid image. The lighting and atomosphere are lovely. I like the centered composition but have 2 suggestions to imrpove without totally rethinking it. 1 move the camera down a bit and tilt up. See more trees/sky and get a more interesting vanishing point (this clip from 'The Fablemens'…
