A...crate?

[Zideruic]

A crate I made for killerogue.

[Zero Hour]

Looks too shiny, and the texture you almost had going is completely lost because of the black line you used to seperate the top and front.

The tone difference, if applied properly, should be enough.

[Zideruic]

This was my attempt at a boat...advise please.

[Elk]

Too shiny, still

[Zideruic]

How do you suggest I make it less shiny? I guess I don't understand.

[Elk]

You need to find a point where its shiny...
I can't really show it now, I'm currently at school

[Nitkizi]

It also looks like it's only 2 inches wide.

[Elk]

You also need to work on the texture

[Zideruic]

Alright 'll work on that for the future, thanks.



Is this a bit better?

[Curt1zzle]

Slightly

[Draenin]

The highlights / shadows are put in the wrong place. You have been shading stuff in strip patterns instead of shading what parts should be. When you shade in strips instead of around edges or in the center, your object comes off looking a bit like cellophane. Please note what I've done in the image below.

[Galdor]

why r there 3 shining spots I think it looks odd

[Draenin]

What three spots do you mean?

[Sage_Shadowbane]

I like the design, But it is a bit shiny in certain points where it should not be. I also dont very much like how flat it looks . But overall just work on your lighting.

Also...I dont really think boats are shaped like that , I believe that they are boxed at one end and than come to a point, but correct me if im wrong.

[Zideruic]

Not ALL boats are designed the same way.

[Sage_Shadowbane]

Well i've never seen a boat that was completely rounded like that , and even if a boat was rounded on both ends, it would be alot more narrow and both ends would still come to a point.

Ohhh. I thought you were referring to mine. I was confused.

Think of a barge, not a canoe.

[Zideruic]

I kind of fixed the shininess i think...


Or you could think of an ark.

[Draenin]

You took the shinyness away, but now there's not much shading at all.

[Sage_Shadowbane]

Oh rofl, I forgot about barges.

[Zideruic]

I think I give up lol

Why give up? Look at your first image and look at this one.

You've made vast improvements.

[Zideruic]

Lol so how can I shade that without using 500000 colors?

[Draenin]

Easy. Take a look at this please. In the first spot, I have how you shaded the crate before. You shaded it in diagonal strips. In the second spot, I have how I would shade it, moving all the shadows into spots they would belong. In the third spot, I added in detailing to shift the focus off of the object's normal shading in order for the object's shading to become a less apparent, more discrete feature.

[Elk]

Never seen such a small boat like that in a square form =)!

[Zideruic]

Thanks for the advice, I'll try that in a bit.



I tried some simple shading, i think it made it look a tiny bit better.

[Draenin]

Yeah, a little bit. Remember that there's stuff other than the outside of the boat, though. Shade some of the inner planks the same way you did the outer ones.

[Zero Hour]

The perspective on that barge is wrong. It doesn't bend down enough on the side which is closest to you.

SHH! Also, I'm just saying Zero, he doesnt have to make a perfect boat. We arent all the best GFXers like me (rofl).

Zero never implied that he had to. Don't spaz just because someone points out an error. You make mistakes, you try to fix them, and in the process, learn something new.

Do I even need to say anything about how rediculous this statement is?

I believe he humorously referring to his graphics "tutorials". Which is fine, and slightly amusing

[Zideruic]

Alright....7th revision...tell me how I'm doing.

[Curt1zzle]

Slightly better.
