The random model thread!

i really like the last one.

Quote from Chimeray

Nice! Looking forward to the final.Isn't that well tiny? The difference in brick size between the wall and well looks odd?

It's our only ref to human scale in the scene, because the rest is pretty big. A human is about half the size of the door.

Btw, the scene is based on this concept art from Raphael Lacoste:

W00t ! Very cool deceiver !

I find the blue in the shadows a little bit too strong... on the tree in the foreground for example.

And depth of field gives the impression that what we see is a small model.

Would you change the blue of the shadows or just make it less blue? And ya, I think we'll tone down the lens blur a touch.

Been working on a Tractor model from high poly. It was my first real experience with high poly modelling, was good fun! This is the model baked and cleaned up, next process is texturing.

looking good, but there are some places you could trim down the tri count a bit, like the chair, the chamfer on the tire tracks, the cylinder on the underside and some parts on the front =)

You're right. I'm going to keep it as is for the small environment I'm working on, simply because I have a very high tri count, but if I use it somewhere else I'll take the tri count down a bit more. It's those wheels that are eating up tris!

Threw a few basic colours on the tractor, gonna start texturing properly tomorrow:

That's a peculiar looking tractor. Looks to be borderline garden mower /country bumpkin

It's a mini tractor. Main reference was the 'Kubota B6000'.

I'd totally buy one of those to be annoying on roads.

Did a new tutorial from digital tutors.

I agree with what Froyok said, remove the color casts in the shadow and run with a unified color theme. It looks a lot better

I edited your image in photoshop:

-removed color casts in shadows

-desaturated blue and cyan

-saturated red and a little yellow

-added a slight yellow overlay color cast to the whole image (really slight)

I prefer the original, to be honest. The altered one is just too grey.

yeah, everything in the foreground looks like it's made of concrete now

Bring a bit more blue back into the scene and you've got onto a winner.

We're gonna go the final composite today with the completed renders, I'll try toning down the blue a touch and see how it goes!
