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

I just have to say. That's just a school exercise. I don't care about character design and facial animation

New hat i've done for TF2 contribute.
The spy is also known as "the man in the iron mask", nobody know who he is and how powerful he is. Next step is to do a watch and a knife for a pack. Have few ideas but can't work during winter's holydays
The texture is 512*256 diffuse with normal and phong.

What do you think about this? The idea is to have a pleasant looking tropical lagoon contrasting with a dark, aged black pirate ship but I'm having trouble making the pirate ship look right.

It kind of looks like you are going pretty cartoony with this judging by the setting, but the textures suggests a more realistic approach. Nothing wrong with that, but I think it'd look more interesting if you try to bind the texture style a bit more to the look of the geometry. That said, I'd loose much of the high frequency, noisy details in the textures, push up some more saturation here and there and try to work with more low frequency, big details.
I think the biggest problem with the ship at the moment is that it looks like it's made out of one big piece of wood, instead of many smaller planks.
The seam where the water meets the sand is pretty distracting too, tat goes with the rocks and trunks of the palm trees to some extent as well. The water seam may be harder to get rid of than the other ones, but if you can't get it to have a short fade to the beach, you could probably add some foam to kind of cover the seam instead
-
Ah some good points there thanks!
The look I'm roughly going for is something like Crysis/Far Cry 2.
I'm not too sure how I could make the transition between sand and water smoother. I guess I could mess around with the material settings a bit or add another layer on top of that water that is more transparent and/or has foam? As for breaking up the boat texture, maybe I could extrude out some thin planks that run vertically along the side of the ship and then offset the texture inside the space between each plank to make it look like separate bits?

Here's a model of the van from Scooby Doo that I made. Let me know what you think.

Looks cool!
What's the tri count on that? Looks very high poly.

Like two hours ago I opened 3DS Max for the very first time.

Kinda looks like Wall-E. Well done. Try adding some textures to it.

Haha, nice lemming.
Started some base textures for a scene I'm working on. The wood and metal source photos I used are terrible though, replacement immanent . Would you guys like to see more bird crap on the cloth?

These wires from ferroconcrete are way to thick.
[Blocked Image: http://images27.fotosik.pl/102/19cf35821c5a6411med.jpg]
Also the wire fence is thick, some of the proportions are very cartoon-ish.

Need an idea how to make a nice tree without using alpha...

I was contemplating scaling the rebar down so thanks for the confirmation. The reason they're so big in the first place was to ensure noticeably from the silhouette during the blockout stage. Obviously they're a bit too noticeable
The fence should actually be fine because the alpha being used is from the bake, so the padding added to the thickness of the wiring. Once I blockout the textures for it, I'm going to create a proper alpha.

No alphas? Is it for non-realtime stuff?
-
Yes, only visualization but QUICK. I need some ultra fast rendering method of alpha maps in 3DSMax or maybe tree with leafs out of polys

Cool, make sure that the post and that "pipe frame" (don't know exact name) won't be too massive after finishing the wire texture

What I would possibly do is model your trunk and large branches, get them how you want placement wise. Model out a few leaf variants, model some smaller branches/twigs, place the leaves on them so you have a medium sized branch that has a nice filling of smaller twigs and leaves. Make a few variations of branches with leaves and start placing them on your large tree branches you created in the beginning.
You could probably also just create small "bushels" of leaves (no branches or twigs) to fill out any areas that look a bit too open.
Although that could eat the tri count up pretty quick, increasing rendering time... The only alternative I know of would be to use alphas which would also increase rending time :\
Perhaps there's a medium where combining the two would work best?
