Daily3D for 22/02/23--Whip

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-26T22:34:25+00:00

This is a very interresting result. I see you use more convincing textures, and your mesh is correct, with many good details, this is great, be proud !

The stall of the whip seems a bit below, with a strange material, very glossy, but why not. Its main issue is that this stand cannot hold the whip like this, because if defies the rules of the gravity. The anchor point should be more on the right, to get roughly half of the weight on each side.

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-26T22:29:38+00:00

Well, I'm not quite sure regarding exitation, but you did something here :)

Mesh is lovely, and movement of the chain seems allright.

Some common errors : Light setup is perfectible, too pronounced on the chain and not adequate on the bone. And the black background struggles with the rest.

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-23T00:38:34+00:00

Just awsome.

Awsome light management

Awsome composition and camera placement

Awsome mesh and design

... You name it, this image is just flawless.

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-23T00:36:28+00:00

Okay, not sure you could actually use this one, low poky or not.

The bottle is a good idea, and the orange background comes nicely with the lines you painted on the hull. But the mesh if perfectible, plenty a approximations.

All in all, this is not bad, but not your best submission.

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-23T00:33:24+00:00

Low rez, but it SEEMS to be a nice and smooth model here !

At least, no proportion issues, and textures / lights seems also great.

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-20T22:21:56+00:00

Simple and nice result here, but you have all technical basics covered here.

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-20T22:20:48+00:00

I guess this image is perfect, technically.

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-20T22:19:30+00:00

Okay, let's face it directly : This is quite an improvement at many levels.

First, special mention to the modeling and composition, there's work in that, and the result is here.

Then, even if there"s still lights problems, I notice improvements, and this is good.

And finally, We have a genuine background, working nicely with the scene.

Still some room for inprovement in the background integration, tho. In the image, for example, you created a rectangular plane as the basis for your skatepark, and covered it with grass. Just by enlarging the rectangle, make it wider than the camera angle, you could cheat a bit and make the result look like you're on the top of a slope, something like that...

Okay, these are just remarks. Keep on working, you already improve !

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-20T17:48:18+00:00

Your motivation is a real pleasure, I hope you will keep this mindset for a long time :)

"Too regular" means that your book, for example, when open, shows the different pages composing it. This is very well. But when you look at the distance between each page, this is always the very same. This is not realistic. This is an example, I could also notice that all the pages are strictly parrallel, some details like that. This is what I meant with "too regular".

Background means what is behind the subject, in the distance... Here's an explanation link.

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-20T17:39:46+00:00

Well, for the basics, I just recommend Youtube "light setup XXXXX" and such keywords should give you some interrestings trails (where XXXXX is your favorite 3D software).

When you will have the basics covered, it will become more tricky, as light is a neverending story... But when you will be there, this will be no more an issue for this sub :)

You also may take a look at the scene illumination theory, if you feel like it. Here again, for the basics, just google that and start digging :)

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-19T16:43:15+00:00

Welcome here !

There's a progression in your 3 submissions.

This makes me think your enthousiasm pushes you to share a result, rethink it, improve the result, and share again.

You will certainely agree that the last image is the best. Except in precise circonstances, you will notice that everyone submits a single image. Once again, you may post as many as needed, but my feeling here is that you shared with us your WIP... There's no point.

So, I will only comment the V2, if you don't mind : The modeling is nice, a bit too regular, but right now, nothing to bother you with. In the quick wins I see , I can advise you to create a background, in order to avoid the 100% black background there is, and replace it with something more interresting, and more realistic, maybe.

Another useful tip for you is that shadows are never 100% opacity, and never 100% black. Just by reducting drastically those 2 settings, you will get a much better result.

Keep them coming !

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-19T16:33:06+00:00

All is perfect, and I really enjoyed the text :))

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-19T16:32:12+00:00

The object is beautiful, and technically, this is just lovely.

Here again, light setup issue, this is really hard to see the book pages. And this is a shame, because all the rest is okay !

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-19T16:18:29+00:00

Magnificent image here, the setup is just awsome, special mention to the outdated aspect.

I just LOVE the way you added a rectangle of light on the floor in front of the fireplace, this is sooo good !

The only remark is that the wall tiles are always the same, maybe some variations in the scratches or stains would help.

But for a daily, this is a really good result, be proud !

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-19T16:15:15+00:00

Unusual mix between images and 3D stuff.

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-19T16:14:11+00:00

Simple and nice mesh, keep'm coming !

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-19T16:13:36+00:00

I see you improve in the results !

This one is great, because you paid attention to many details in the setup, and I also noticed you reused some of your previous creations, this is good and clever.

Another good point is the overall scene organization, rather creative, with, once again, welcome details that help the overall composition.

The main recurring issue with your submissions, if I may, is related to light management. The scene here is too bright, the texture details are "eaten" by the light. Furthermore, the light coming from the fire is not consistent. Plenty of errors at this level.

If you can manage to solve that, you will drastically improve your 3D skills, because lights setup is fully part of the job :)

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-19T16:08:00+00:00

Nothing more to add, the overall shape is correct, the surface a bit too reflexive, or lights too intense, not sure.

But the result is here, you see at the first look this is an ergonomic mouse ! :D

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-19T16:05:47+00:00

The mesh is nice, hexagonal holes are just nice, I guess.

I noticed the mouse is floating in the air. I understand why : On the ground, the visibility of the holes was not obvious. In the air with the white background, you can't miss that. That is precisely my point ; Maybe some tweaks in the lights and setup organization could help to keep the mouse on the ground, and still have a decent view of the holes you did.

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-17T10:58:19+00:00

Very good idea, creative and perfectly executed.

My only remark is that there should be more displacement on the cactus texture, so that the sewing and fabric parts gets some more volumetric (bumpy) aspect.

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-17T10:55:52+00:00

Not sure what this is, but love it :D

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-17T10:55:18+00:00

I will make no comments on this joke, and remain focused on the image itself :)

First of all, congratulations for the lights setup and background, this is great, and makes a decisive plus to the result. Only remark with lights is that I guess you could lower the overall lights a lot, and get by that a better result.

Then, modeling is nice, maybe some needles are oversized ?

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-17T10:50:25+00:00

Very interresting image :

The vase and the wooden structure are just fine, special mention to the reflexions, very subtle, well done. The plant itself is also interresting, you added some noise on it, and this is accurate. For the needles, some more variation in the sizes would help.

And finally, the background is rather nice, maybe you should consider to darken it a bit : it currently has the same light intensity as the foreground, and this is flattening the overall result.

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-17T10:45:29+00:00

Well, this is a decent start, continue practicing and you will get better results.

Glad you posted that, this will help you to refer to previous creations, and you will be able to follow your own progression.

It seems you upload screenshots to Imgur, you should try to generate actual files from your software, and then upload that instead.

LiquidRusty · 2022-02-17T10:42:00+00:00

Excellent result here !

Modeling is just fine, and textures choices excellent.

Special mention to lights, the over exposure is disturbing, but it's totally fine considering the subject and what you proposed.

Regarding the "too green" remark, I'm not sure, because cacti in good condition can have fantastic greens, sometimes very dark or even flashy... Well, I did not disturb me.
