Fume Pelican im going to make a scene when the pelican is breaking through the earth atmosphere.

The fire seems to be of a really low quality. It also doesn't feel like it's part of the scene.

DEEhunter · Post by **DEEhunter** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 2:44 pm

Uhh its motion blur and what do you mean not part of the scene?

The fire looks fake, unrealistic, and doesn't seem like it looks convincing at all.

I didn't say it was blurry. I said it was low quality. It is not convincing fire. It does not look like natural fire. The quality of the fire is lacking.

It doesn't fit with the scene. I don't know, it just doesn't. Looks like it was added in Photoshop or something, poorly. It isn't volumetric and such. It just doesn't look right.

Yeah DEEHunter the fire looks very fake, and doesn't look realistic at all.

*EDIT*
Tell Me what you think I know, the lift is off by a lot. And th lighting is a little off. And can someone tell me how to get rid of the black of the pictures because I don't know how to.

And here is something I am working on in this map.

DEEHunter always set the spacing as low as possible for best particle generation, if your pc can handle it.

Keablr, use an opacity map to get rid of the black around the arrows. I think it's the alpha map but I'm not sure.

the lift isnt so good.add some glod coming out from it and if you can make moving lines in it so anybody can see its lift.

Whats Glod?
Add specular if you haven't. If you have, you should change your lighting a bit. And also, some reflections. For the lift, you can use Videopost. That should give it a nice gaseous look, and also some lights in there with attenuation to make it look like its illuminating the area.

Alright will try it out.

Well, here is my Coagulation Blue Base. I know there is parts missing but I have a story to go with this Base. It is in between Halo and Halo 2. This is where they first start off making the new blue base. It hasn't been complete because it is still in construction.

There's something about it I like, I just can't put my finger on it.

Ground textures and lighting are off. I don't understand the two symmetrical entrances on the back left and right of the base. And this last one is just a recommendation: Maybe make it look more like it's in construction instead of removing parts of the base?

I think the lighting's great, It really shows off the normal maps/Textures.

I dunno, makes everything look a bit too clean in my opinion.

Keablr · Post by **Keablr** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 4:29 pm

I should have said that I wasn't really going for the ingame look. I am just going for what looks best. I want everything to be clear, and every detail to be seen. And the entrances that you(SHOUT) say that are symmetrical at the back of the base are really the parts of the base that go in. That is how it is in Halo 2 except it has the pillars coming through those spots to the tops of the base.

*EDIT*
Yeah and also not to be a smart @$$ but i also didn't say the blue base was barely starting the construction, nor did I say it was nearly complete. But since I didn't mention it I am now, it is close to completion. This was written to get things straight on the construction part.
