Mech Project

[Peppr]

Hello,

 

I've made a few sets for an animation project, and since this is my first time doing this kind of thing, I would like to get feedback (suggestions, stuff you like, stuff you hate). Anything will help.

 

 

Thank you very much.

 

p.s. the two city areas are supposed to be lit like it would be sunset...if they don't look that way, please inform me of my error. Also, the other images are from inside the mech.

Hi Peppr,

 

Welcome to the A:M Forums.

 

So far so good.

 

Where's the mech?

 

I think the first two city pictures look good.

 

The second one really does capture the feeling of a sunset more than the first.

 

I think its because of the warmer lighting and colors on the 2nd one. The bloom effect is a nice touch too on that second one. If you try lighting the first one kind of like the second one maybe it will look even better.

 

The other 3 sets look to me to be interior lab type sets.

 

Good luck to you.

That's a great looking set. I agree with what Mack said. I don't know what the third picture is?

Wow this is our first time doing something like this? hard to tell from what you are showing us it looks great. Only thing I can see is maybe move the sun set from behind the building I get the idea of what you are trying to do the sun is shinning through the windows but you will need to turn down the sun a little only were the building is and keep it bright were the building is not. I have no idea how to complish that so meybe avoid the problem by moving sun location?

Here is a picture of the mech.

 

 

 

 

In reply to Dhar, the third image is the robot's mid-section. Those are gears surrounded by the glow in the background.

I've updated the first city image's lighting:

Lots better. Now add some shadows?

 

This is your first try? I hate you.

Same here the lighting change looks excellent!

Here are the next versions of the two city areas. I've added shadows to the first one and completely removed the lens flare in the second one.
