個長城好假囉......好似D塑膠玩具咁....

卡通又唔系卡通,寫實更加談不上........

[HapZungLam]

haha, of cuz. i didn't put any textures on. Just through lights around without thinking. I applied a dirtmap shader to make it look like something.

but hey, as i said this is a WIP. Do you know what WIP is?

add oil HapZungLam
Looking forward to see your final work.

It is unfair to say it is too cartoonish or plastic feel before textures are applied. Personally, I feel there is not much wrong with the models far away. The model is not bad indeed. Only the foreground models are too tidy to look real. I have some suggestions in procedure to make it simplier but still tedious so as to add more realism.

Apply to far-away models:
1. Low density models should be buit in module as yours. Deform the modules along the path.
2. 3 or 4 different pattern planar UV texture maps with similar tone(i.e. color, dif. ,spec., bump) to break repetition. Some more procedurals can also be added. Be careful to make the junction-between seamless as all stones are arranged in stagger and stone shape should not be uniform. There should not have straight vertical line from top to bottom between wall stones. Neither should straight horizontal line.

Apply to foreground models:
1. Choose 2 different painted stone maps or photos as background to build detail polygonal model faces stone by stone. Very tedious...this technique call photo modeling.
2. Apply all planar UV maps

Looking forward to your next posting if you can complete this so tedious task. Really hope you can make it.

My 2 cents.

Hey zaptos,

First of all thx for your comments.

2nd, I have the same thoughts as you've mention. Yes, that's what i am going to do. But the problem is, how do i deal with the terrian?

[rryria]

i have expectation for this wip!it will be a great one!

look forward to your final work!

do u have any main theme or story or atomsphere or history for the picture?
if u setup your direction, i think it is easier to progress what you are going to progress. and you can apply all your full skills easily. i believe u got the skills already.

山的 model 要再做得更 detail, 如果唔系 texture 會好難做, 就算用 displacement 都系.

如果有睇過長城的相, 就會留意到它的山脈走勢, 系類似峽谷那類型, 高低起伏很大

如果用黃昏 lighting, side light 感覺會較出. 再加上山既起伏, 就可以做到大明大暗, 這樣 texture 可以不用太 detail, 但是 bump 仍然要明顯

最後還要加上 fog, 這樣會有更佳的層次感.

好明顯你對3d唔系咁熟!!!說話點可以咁大口氣~~~

[ben_chow]

你post得D作品出都預?有批評或贊賞,有物話大口氣唔大口氣?!
系好?就贊,例如呀Dick_ma.....D作品系好,咁我有贊賞佢!
唔接受到人家的批評,咁你好難系呢行混的........
系呢行混唔系贊就彈?啦!有什麼問題!咁驚人彈,咁不如早D轉行啦!

[zaptos]

Don't worry about the terrain ground. When it is not a long shot, most of it are covered by green shrubs, trees and some boulders. I think it will be more believable. Build shrub surfaces. Add some more layers if you want. Define shrub contour to paint UV textue at Y axis. place 3D trees and boulders. 2D palne trees may work when they are far way. Go to Central Peak. Take more photo references at different angles as you can for your painting work.

問題系樓主個作品都未完成,你就話人假,什麼談不上,咁樣唔系有問題咩???批評唔洗考慮其他因素咖???如果樓主mapping後個作品好掂咁點??就算系批評都應該比o的有建設性既野!!!我相信樓主唔會驚比人彈,大家都明贊同彈都有,只系覺得你唔應該咁快下定論.
