Title: New background for C+C
Post by: Quintaros on Sun 20/07/2003 01:07:33
What do people think of this?  I'm pretty pleased with it except something doesn't appear right on the tiles of the roof.  Can anybody recommend a fix?  Also the trees in the background might be too simplistic.  Do they require more attention?

no certainly not! These trees are good, because this pictures is AWESOME MADE! Only what you already said, the roof is a bit wrong, but I wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't say! REALLY NICE!

Wow, very beautiful! Since you are looking at the roof from below, the tiles should be curving in the other direction, goiong down to the left instead of up (and at a bit less angle than currently). Even keeping them straight would remove the 'odd' factor.

Mmm... The tiles are falling like a waterfall... Try to make them in perspective... I am almost sure it will work! ;)

Have at her, Synth.  I'd like to see what you could do.

I love it, but that line along the wall bugs me.

Which line would that be, Jimi?

Easy way to improve the depth is to do a half correct perspective:

Just make the horizontal lines to have less space as you go higher.

I'd also add more lights/shadows to other surfaces than just the trees. And make the light source consistent; now it looks like the trees have light from the right and the brick fence has light from the right.

Yes, add some shadows for a couple pixels down under the roof on the building.

The mailbox is not all that eye pleasing.  :-[ sorry,

but this is a great shot in progress.  its really nice.

yes, i would too change the direction/perspective on the roof.  make it angled/pointed to the left and down, so the roof doesnt look 2d flat compared to the rest of the pic.  or just do what makri says and make the tiles get smaller as they go up...
