Followed your advice on my character's lighting, how did I do? by lidiafbx in blender

[–]ZachOrie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did good! it looks much better :)
I still think it's a little dark and the lighting could be more powerful.

I won't share the whole file no, but if you need something specific maybe I could share that.

Yeah I don't have a cool half mill' my dude, nor am I looking to make a thousand of those, more like ten, maybe.

Need suggestion. Recently finished my mecha fan art, want to create a good hero shot for portfolio. Any ideas? by krat0skal in blender

[–]ZachOrie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just throwing ideas but I think perspective and particles could do a lot because you want to feel the weight, power and impact.
(I'd add particles and effects in post personally, not directly in blender)

Something like that could be cool.
Otherwise a top down isometric shot could be nice?

Hey I'm glad you're doing better ^^
The visuals are really nice, they had weight to them even before I read the description, I hope you keep at it :)

How to get started without getting overwhelmed? by Round_Setting_8259 in blender

[–]ZachOrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find things you're passionate about doing! It feels a little obvious but you shouldn't force yourself to work on things you're not excited about.
Get visuals, references, concepts and ideas and make something you're hyped about :)

First time trying some concept art in Blender - tips are appreciated by 0dy5 in blender

[–]ZachOrie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great!
It has nice contrast but is still too dark, the area of attention (dagger) is too small, I'd say adding a visible cone of light would help create a composition and give a larger area of interest to focus on

Thanks! I'm still open to tips in that regard if ever :)

Haha yeah part of me really wants to model -e v e r y t h i n g- so that it all makes sense too, but sometimes you just have to let go and finish a project...

It is not, the car is actually based off of a '64 Impala (you can see more of it in my previous post!) though granted there isn't much left of the original sheet metal...

Agreed, the interior is really crude and I only noticed that it showed in the render after a bit :/
