what do u think?

[rumplestilskin]

I got am for the purpose of creating a logo for my painting company and got tired of reading thru and watching tuts. I probably got tired prematurely but what the heck here is my Paintbrush

[rumplestilskin]

thanks to "hutch" for telling me how to post an image.

[KenH]

Looks good so far.

[rumplestilskin]

perhaps it was too soon to put it up.

[Dearmad]

This seems very nice to me.

 

What aspect do you think requires further crit? I mean seriously... it's a paintbrush man. I can see that. It has decent bevelling (or appears to), and the wood texture isn't overly "ringy." The colors to it are also pleasingly balanced. I say move on and put together the rest of the logo.

[rumplestilskin]

For all intents and purposes, this IS the logo. I advertise in the yellow pages and i wanted an image that popped out. I needed to be able to insert it into proposals, bills and letterheads as well. Thank you for your response and your advice to "move on" i suppose posting the image indicates an unwillingness to do just that but the truth is i just wanted reassurance (im a child at heart).

Thank you,

I definitely will, its huge fun. I wish i had more time and patience to learn it but oh well.

Yep... that is a paintbrush.

 

Rump,

I have to say that is the best looking 3D paintbrush I've seen to date.

Would you care to post a wireframe view?

[robcat2075]

I agree, it's a fine looking image.

 

But I haven't seen any yellow pages printing that will do it justice. "Logos" are rarely photorealistic because they need to survive almost any printing process and expecially need to survive conversion to B&W.

 

Color yellow page ads are expensive, too.

 

Successful logos also tend to be very simple in design. I can't think of a successful one that isn't.

 

If you really need a logo, I'd go with something more "design" and less "photo."

 

You seem to have the art skills to do that, this might be the basis for developing something more graphic.

Great job, I really like the wood texture and you did a good jobon the bristles too. I also like how the red paint jumps out at you, keep it up!

[heyvern]

Excellent job for a new AM user! I am very impressed.

 

Don't be like me though! I have been using AM for years and in all that time I never completed the tutorials. Because of this I feel my life is a little empty and joyless... like something is missing...

 

Looks great. Just a few suggestions:

 

Add a texture to the end of the bristles... just to blend it in. And a texture on the side of the handle. Not neccessary for your use but would complete the image.

Thank you Rodney and everyone who took the time to respond, its very motivating to hear feedback from people whose work is highly respected.

 

Post a wireframe- should i screencapture it or ...

The simple stuff eludes me

[higginsdj]

My only crit is that you appear to have applied a decal to the top only. The Bristle ends need another decal and I would also apply another mat to the brush side facing the viewer.

 

These are, of course, small details and my not actually show up in the final logo - but you might want to enlrage it into a signpost one day!

 

Cheers

[rumplestilskin]

It does need something on the side, its been a source of frustration for me.

How do i post a wireframe per Rodneys request? Do i just attach the prg file or...

[heyvern]

You could do a screen capture in the modeling window or the choreography or a wire frame render.

You can actually change your remder to a wire frame render. Then post the completed render just as you did the original pic.

 

My comments on the original, My eye caught the discrepancies with the missing textures but didn't even register it. That bight red paint kept all my attention.

 

Looks great!
