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…
Welcome to Polycount! I would recommend learning about composition, how to arrange your scene and where to place the camera to make pleasing images. http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Concept_Fundamentals#Composition The fog is too dense right now, it would help to gather references of the look you would like to achieve, then…
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…
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…
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…
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'…
Hey @Araka this is a great start. As Eric pointed out composition would be a great start for you. 1. Have a clear understanding of where your focal point is. And then expect to guide people towards it. 2. A good general rule of thumb is "the rule of thirds" - it means that your focal point should fall on a third of the…
