>_> Yeah I fairly new at the lighting and stuff...just thought I'd share this with you all...I got my 3D master chief and put him in a pic of the real world.
Program used: Maya 6.0

If anyone has a pic they want me to put him in lemme know!

Horrible.

-sigh- what part of "Yeah I fairly new at the lighting and stuff" Did you tiny mind not comprehend?

Not that a opinion from someone like you matters -shurgs- ^ ^

Andrew, your sig is some text behind some downloaded brushes. And that text is in front of cloud render. Was I close?

I know I promised to stop being angry at people, but this stuff pisses me off. If you don't like it, at least use constructive critisism.

EDIT: and unless your designing for the Chicago subway system, don't use Helvetica or Arial.

He seems to think he is a god. Except for no one remembers/cares. So stop acting like you are.

No. My signature is a black background, with an airbrush scribbled, a fiber filter with a gradient, and my name. Took 5 seconds. Also, the font is Myriad Pro.

CC: Make Chief blend in more.

Also to Monk34 and Seabees4. I have been doing 3d rendering for quite some time now. I know what I'm talking about. I don't act as if I am a higher being. I'm sorry if you interpreted it that way.

Also Monk34, A flaw of yours is that you judge people by what have done (or what you think they have done). I'm not some retard who thinks, "Aww man, I can't do dis 3d stuff. Ima say its awful." I have actually worked with 3d software. If you care to see what I have done, click the link in my signature. That whole site was coded and designed by me. All those mods were made by me. And all the pages to come, will have things made by me. I didn't start yesterday.

I am aware if what you do, I have seen the site, which is cool. but you must understand even though you Didn't start yesterday, I really don't know how long you have been using programs. But I Did actually start Rendering this past Wednesday, I knew it wasn't perfect but it was good enough, I put them up and ask if people could give pics for me to put him in so I can slowly improve. I know it needs to blend more but I am proud of it which I am sure when you did start you were too right? even if it wasn't perfect? No one starts great.

I'm sorry, I'm not very good at being mean any more.... so I'm going to stop putting my nose in stuff I don't know about.

SORRY ALL!

That post was not pointed towards you. I'm glad you are trying new things, just it looks awful. The snow and mountain range look the best. That orange/red one is what I think of when I say these awful.

Okay, now that i agree with you're right. :/ I don't like it much either but it's the only planet pic I had....oh well... xD

I guess I did sort of overreact. I was a bit mad that day. So I apologize also.

*Grabs popcorn that I just put aside for the other thread*

*Looks at most recent post*

SHIT!

Oh well. Nice renders Jacob. I should post some of my stuff in sketchup sometime...

First is not terribly good. Lighting on second is much closer, and the third is perfect. However, you will either need to get a better place to upload (probably not the problem) or post the pictures in a much higher quality. The only problem I can see is that you neglected to blur the edges at all, so he looks like a cardboard cutout with correct lighting sitting in front of a picture. An alternative would be to post the pictures smaller so the quality is reduced in ratio to picture size, which if I just stated correctly would make the picture seem better (but smaller which = not better).

So, get bigger pictures/renders (what are you using for it? depending on what it is, you should be able to get a much bigger render), incorporate the chief into the picture better, then post back. As of right now I think I could remove chief from a current halo 3 pic I have and plaster him onto a backdrop a bit better (but more time consuming) than what you have here. So:

Lighting: 5, 7, 9 out of 10 for each pic
Incorperation: 3, 7, 10 out of 10 for each pic

Work a bit more and you might have a great picture there.


Just thought you ought to know.
