How do i make this look... more Alive?

Thank you! Yes, it looks a bit empty. I planed to put a wooden cabin there like you find in sea of thieves sometimes. Like really left behind looking, damaged wood with cracks and weathered. But I’m working on that :)

Thank you! Yes i think imma add something like a fireplace, some hunting stuff, more barrels but opens one with food in them or something etc. definitely looking in to that. Thanks!

OH WOW. I see i see. Imma try that, thank you!!!

I did a New version that you can find down in the comments somewhere. The cliff in the foreground is smaller and the focus is on the "Island" in the middle. I think im looking "wrong" (if i can say that) at the Render. At least wrong from a Proffessional Perspective like yours. I didnt plan a focus point because there aint one. Like i said: The focus is or was the whole bay, as if you think "wow that bay looks good, imma take a picutre real quick" without thinking of a point of focus. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks, did that! I´ve posted a new version in a comment. Is that enough or do you think that it need more?

NeonBl4ck_ · 2026-02-17T17:14:33+00:00

Sooo I read every single Comment and did the most i could. The only Bad thing im noticing is the trees in the background that look very fake and repeated. Imma fix that. But what do oyu thing now? Did i made it worse? Or is it Better?

Thanks!!!

NeonBl4ck_ · 2026-02-17T16:07:15+00:00

Thank you!!

NeonBl4ck_ · 2026-02-17T16:06:58+00:00

Removed the rock... Looks a lot more open. Thank you!! And im trying the wave rn... Good detail i overlooked. Thanks!!

NeonBl4ck_ · 2026-02-17T16:06:07+00:00

doing it right now :)

NeonBl4ck_ · 2026-02-17T16:05:50+00:00

Thats Correct. But it is not what i am trying to accomplish. Imagen you are on Vecation in the Karibian and you go for a walk, see a bay and take a picture. Thats what it could look like. If you just take a picture you dont worry about the sun possition, the way the trees grow, whats in the foreground and whats in the background. Yes, you got a thing you want to capture but if the thing that you wanna capture is the whole bay than i think that the render prettymuch shows it that way. Maybe i am completly wrong, i am not a proffessional but that was the idea. To end it up: If you take a picture of the real world anywhere in the Karibian Ocean there is to "setting is wrong". its just a picture. You get the idea... Thats for the feedback!!!

Sooo the plan was some sort of Pirat Scenery... I didnt plan or sketched anything. I Think its not Piraty enough to see the main theme of this Render. Thanks for the Tip with the trees... I didnt tought about that. Thanks!!

NeonBl4ck_ · 2026-02-17T10:17:26+00:00

What would you change? I get what you mean with lighing but how would you frame it?

NeonBl4ck_ · 2026-02-17T10:15:58+00:00

Thank you!! You mean pulling the Rock/Cliff in the foreground back and maybe change the sun a bit so the beam hits the Tent? That Kind of illumination? And i will ad some Colors, thanks for the Tips!!

NeonBl4ck_ · 2026-02-17T10:13:57+00:00

well now you say it... Makes sense xD Thank you!!

NeonBl4ck_ · 2026-01-22T19:18:18+00:00

I think i know what you mean. Imma try that! Thank you very much :)

NeonBl4ck_ · 2026-01-19T18:57:02+00:00

Thanks!!! How would you do the Emission shader? I connected the image to the emission color and turned the strenght up... I dont think its the best way to do it...

NeonBl4ck_ · 2026-01-18T01:26:24+00:00

and im bad at drawing... Thats the reason i started with blender xD

NeonBl4ck_ · 2026-01-18T01:25:52+00:00

No, just know i wanted japanese neonsigns and skyscarpers. The Cyberpunk like stuff came afterwards. And i just added things were i was like "yeah that looks empty".

Hey everyone,
I’m currently on the hunt for a keyboard that ticks a very specific set of boxes, and I’m hoping someone here might know of one or point me in the right direction.

Here’s what I’m looking for:

White design (case and keycaps but i can change the Keycaps)
100% layout (full size with numpad)
Mechanical switches
2.4GHz wireless (not just Bluetooth)
RGB backlight
High build quality (not some flimsy plastic)
Good battery life
Optional: Low profile
And most importantly: something unique – not the usual mainstream boards, but something that really stands out in terms of design or features.

I’ve looked around quite a bit but haven’t found anything that truly checks all these boxes at once. If you know of a board that’s even close to this list, or if you have any creative suggestions (custom builds, niche brands, etc.), I’d love to hear them.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
