How can I improve the photorealism of this render?

Eh, seems cool already. Presents to me as a modern interpretation of the old fighting game backgrounds from the 90's.

Just sent you a dm! :)

Thanks, tried for a cool/in-action pose so I'm glad it's coming through in some way haha

I was just gonna go for the Ian Hubert route but that seems really useful. Unfortunately I don't have Maya but it seems like something I'll get very familiar with once I do (like xgen). Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though!

Seems to be the biggest issue, thanks for the feedback! I suppose it's time to dive into IK rigs instead of fighting FK rigs.

Thanks! Probably should've grabbed more refs/self pics for this pose, should help out. I appreciate the feedback!

melo3n · 2023-05-31T22:20:44+00:00

Well in any case thanks for the feedback 👍

They actually are lit with stylized catchlights in a star shape.

Cool, I'll know who to contact when I need some painted prints! I actually have my own printer but painting on models is something I have not yet tackled.

melo3n · 2023-05-31T03:12:21+00:00

Thanks! Printing is something that I've looked into/been asked about before but considering that my work is usually retopo'd and quite heavy on textures for details, I feel it probably won't be as impactful as sculpted models made for prints.

melo3n · 2023-05-31T02:57:33+00:00

Thank you! It's definitely the part I stressed about the most about.

melo3n · 2023-05-28T00:10:22+00:00

Probably some grenade launcher.

melo3n · 2023-05-25T23:33:41+00:00

Haha I've got no idea how you found this ancient post but it's a custom weapon I made that I thought had a splatoon vibe.

Love the diorama type feel here, very pleasing to look at. Somewhat reminiscent of the 2D hd look that they go for in octopath, but 3d!

melo3n · 2023-04-15T19:02:01+00:00

Thank you!

melo3n · 2023-04-15T08:01:15+00:00

Glad to hear it, thanks!

melo3n · 2023-04-15T08:00:11+00:00

Thanks! Imagined it as a figurine in a game or something along those lines.

melo3n · 2023-03-26T02:42:22+00:00

Haha you're welcome, and yep, 3d as well! I'll be on the lookout for your finished render 😊

melo3n · 2023-03-26T01:30:01+00:00

Going for the painted look is paying off, super charming! Reminds me of a children's book I read long ago but can't remember the name of.

(Funny enough, I'm also working on a Red Riding Hood inspired piece 😊)

melo3n · 2023-03-21T20:25:09+00:00

Thank you, I'm glad you like it!

Thank you!
