The visor is too shiny.

i think theres not enough color on the armor. it has too much specular or something. the guns kinda remind me of one of the guns from goldeneye.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 9:11 pm

Ok I did what you guys said, took down the visor shinyness, got the armor less shiny, and and put a little more of a oliveish color on him .

Also I think gun wise you are thinking of the PP7 from goldeneye.

Thanks

Needs reflections or something. They look so... bland.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Sat Jun 17, 2006 7:47 am

I was actually going for that look in the picture, if you look up near the top of this page you can see my orignal chief. But I agree that was to... reflecty/shiny. What do you suggest I do to make it look more reflective then?

Thanks

I don't want your results of "playing around with scenes". Or little material/shader experiments.
I want a scene, a week of work spent. SOMETHING.

Try tweaking the poses a little, add some force to them. Right now they just look like they are holding hands or something, kind of romantic...

Without faces, it is hard to make expressions clear, so you really need to work with poses. What helps me the most is to just do the pose I am trying to make the models do. Poses with two characters are especially hard, I would suggest asking a friend or sibling to help. Just do whatever you are trying to illustrate and then stop for a second, and without moving, just look around and observe what's going on... The position you (And in your case the other person too) are in, most importantly your balance. Try to imitate what you see as closely as possible, the devil is in the details! Very small changes or differences can greatly effect whether or not they look like they are just holding hands, or trying to kill each other!

BTW... Normally I would not post that in the gallery submission thread BUT I thought it would help lots of new moellers make their work better (It sure helped me allot when I learned it!) and make Veegie happier.

Also try adding Cubemaps to the armor. I may be wrong but it doesn't look like you have, and if you have, try turning them up just a little. If you haven't, then look in the support thread.

i think their legs look too hsort, or maybe its just the position you made them in, i cant tell cause there legs are bent almost the same in all the pictures.

Alright, I'm not pointing any fingers at anyone here (I could point them at myself at times for getting carried away a few times, i think...) but as Veegie has pointed out many times in this thread, this thread is for real works of art.

What are these? They don't have to be the best render and scene you've ever made, but they should be things you have spent time on. Lets just say your current best thing you've done.

What isn't this? This is not the thread for your daily update on your beginnings of rendering. If you see that your MC looks absolutely nothing like the good renders, you probably shouldn't be posting it here. No, I'm not saying you shouldn't post your renders where you've tried something different, to not do "the same old thing". You just shouldn't post your beginning works.

Since this is for works of art, renders that you've taken time on to perfect, you shouldn't be posting daily renders here.

The render like spartanx5 (I didn't want to point people out, but this is for a good thing) is a good example of the renders I am talking about.

I don't know if Veegie has anything to add or delete from this, or if he wants to actually enforce his rules even further, but try to follow this.

If you want to post your renders, you have permission to post one every once in awhile in the 3dsmax help topic, IF you want help. If you want to post your pictures somewhere not for help, you can do so in the Graphics section. I'm kind of thinking the Halo Photography thread should stick to photography taken directly from the game. I don't know, it's up to the author of that thread.
