[quote]What's it called?[/quote] a professor Moriarity complex? [e digicons]^_^[/e] work of genius? naw...more like a work of hair-pulling,pc cursing persperation. [quote]getting grass to render properly is still a mystery to me[/quote] dont feel bad,I havnt seen anyone get it to look right unless they zoom in real close and have them modelled as individual blades (like in A Bug's Life) [IMG]http://img204.imageshack.u
Heigar's pumpkins look neat...I'm just getting up to par in 3D myself so I wonder why rendered grass always looks 'rendered' while the pumpkins look fine...is it because grass is so little and pixels are proportionally so large?

[quote]I opened CS5 with a new background at 2560x1600 just to get a feel for it. Too bad the trial ends in sixteen days. No biggie though, i still have PS7.[/quote] I still work in 7...for a skinner there really isnt much in later versions that truly helps with skinning in general.They are a little better at some things but not much. The biggest advances I see in PS lately are the painting tools...but skinners rarely paint...they mostly use shapes,vectors and l
By working larger than you need you give the project room to breathe and it gives you cropping options...so it dosnt all look like a tv show. Filmmakers frame their comps different for movies than they do for tv. Film isnt afraid to back off and leave some space around the sides.You can always crop closer in and because you started bigger than you needed you wont lose quality. When I make walls for blinds,they are mostly very close to the size
Just to be fair...here is a comp I was working on for fun.I wouldnt upload it for 2 reasons...I cant remember where I got all the original images(even tho I shopped them so much nobody would ever mistake them for the originals) and its still too rough in some places. Yes it looks pretty cool but I wanted awesome and I just wasnt quite there with it so I shoved it on a backburner to maybe revisit someday. Its main problems are right in the center where the 3 roads meet...its ju
So to continue picking on Uvah(sorry amigo,but this thread is about improving skillsets and everyone reaching for awesome...dont hate me please)(and also listen to WOM,always ask more than ONE person...I could be a jerk for all you know,hehe) The elements you have chosen to work with dont work for me...they just wouldnt inspire me to finish the work even if just used as a backdrop to paint over. It dosnt look like you could ever blend all those elements into one
Uvah...I'm gonna be straight with you...I dont,in my opinion,see any amount of improvements fixing that composition. First your hampering your self starting from a 1280x1024 image ratio.(5x4)Which was common on earlier laptops but is declining rapidly. Start BIG and work your way down on the final by reduction and cropping.I often make a 2560x1600 image and judiciosly scale and crop til I reach 1024 x768.With a lot of rezzes in between.(and different aspect ratios)My monitor i
[quote]Thank you for the link Frankie, but I realized I had a photo of mine I could possibly doctor...well I'm working on it!! [/quote] Thats kinda cute for a lite halloween image...my advice is to add some squiggly trails coming off the house.Make it more see thru and blur some of the harsher edges.The distortion effect is actually effective tho maybe a bit too strong...it does have a sort of Tim Burton feel to the house.The idea of a h

[quote]The standard of usability has been mostly overlooked. While I like unique and original art, it has to work on my desktop. Even without icons on my desktop[/quote] Wizards post is correct only so far as walls for desktops with icons applys in my opinion. I never use icons so I only need a backdrop...anything will do as long as it is good.If that means we need a seperate ART section then fine but please dont count out purely artistic walls...I
For that matter you can ask nearly any journeyman or master to look at something and ask what they think...we can be tough but it will give you things to work on. You could post a work in progress thread but you will mostly get false praise or just praise from users that really dont have the critical eye...they like nearly everything. If your a glutton for punishment...ask me. (evil laugh) We should all strive for improvement and

[quote]Thanks again, everyone. And congrats to all the others as well. I check this thread just to feel good when I see others getting promoted, so this was a nice surprise. Though I am a little disapointed.... I thought once the news got out, I would have gotten a phone call from Stevie Nicks by now. Maybe she just misplaced my number. She does it ALL the time. Sometimes, when I am waiting for her outside of the arenas, she even pretends she doesn't know me. She's such a kidder.[/quote]
