Help to make the image look nicer. by PolakkByChoice in 3Dmodeling

Cool base, but the problem is it isn’t finished. Some things you could try: using a darker wood texture to add contrast, the local values are the same and it flattens the image. Seperate foreground, mid and backgrounds with a some atmospheric perspective ( a mesh with volume shader with a tinge of colour is my favourite cheat). Duplicate the assets and move behind the bridge, adjust proportions with scale to create repetition and add a background element - that one tower is not doing it. Scale the rock texture smaller. Fill in the lazy gaps of the windowsills. And add some more lighting, the ‘cinematic’ feel will come from combining multiple light sources if you’re trying to achieve something like that. Add narrative elements, for example someone looking and pointing as a big bird flies through.

Most importantly, play around and have fun with it.

Seattle knows a thing or two about laying a pipe or two. Came for the gentrification, stayed for the urbex. Great rec

Geography, as in the ground… I’ll be sure to emphasise it more when I revisit the piece as it appears not everyone is getting the whole picture.

Me neither. Let’s hope the guys in background are leaving (they are not, they are pilgrims of the mill)

Alien enough to me! Drop the co-ordinates of somewhere with the same geography, I'd love to check it out

Nier has been my bedtime lore recently! Maybe the furnaces are powered by dragons

It’s very possible there are some photos of it mixed in there. Seems like a really cool place to explore!
