all2c00l Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 This is an island i am creating for a flyover on an animation so it won't need much by way of detail. I haven't added the palm tree's yet, but that is next. For the rest of the animation i will have detailed scenes. I'm up for some feedback.

hypnomike Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Hi David! You've made a good start there although it needs a little tweeking. The transition from the grass at the back looks man made rather than natural as does the contours of your hill. This may, of course, be intended but if it isn't I'd introduce a little randomeness into those shapes. Hope this helps and please post the fly over.

all2c00l Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 Thanks for the help. This is a rush project for my childrens church and it is only for the flyby so i am hoping to soften it with some palm trees. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all2c00l Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 This is part of the island that i made a replica of and put in more detail. I would like to know if the grass and sand mat i used looks good and how to improve it. Also, i worked hard to make the grass sand connection look good. Any comments are appreciated.

jamagica Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 On the sand, I suggest using a displacement map... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iocane Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Putting some plants below the palm trees at just the right locations can break up the line between the san and the grass. Something like ferns would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypnomike Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Looks much better, I'm sure you've got enough detail for your fly by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all2c00l Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 here is the palm tree i am working on. I haven't found a bark i like yet, but i like the leaves. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamagica Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 On palm trees, at the top of the trunk it starts thin then as it gets lower, it gets thicker...just do this by selecting a group of CP's on the bottom and making them bigger, on the next group make them a bit bigger, third group, a teeny bit bigger, etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
