Thought I would use Hannes fine models............... :)
Wow Yossam, that looks great! This is a fantastic environment.
You used only two of the tunic textures for all of the knights, right? The blue ones against the white ones. It's great to see the guys in action.
Yep..........only used blue and white. There are actually two of you in the scene........... ;D
Castle model is not the best in the world...........used what I had.
I think the castle model is definitely not bad! The only thing I would critisise is the tiling floor texture, especially on the left side. Something else: you used soft shadows, didn't you? In my opinion it's a bit too soft. But otherwise the lighting is very natural. Well done!
Had a closer look at your picture. The floor isn't tiling at all, is he? I don't know, what I have seen there. :-[
I see you changed your avatar........cool. Definitely you.
The floor is tiled a little bit. I used an image map for the fake stones and tried to break it up with a distribution shader. You can still see parts of the tiling. I used soft shadows and think I made it too soft...........back to the drawing board. :o
A few minor fixes............ :)
Looks nice Yossam.
Not sure but the shadows on the castle in some places do look like you used a too high setting for smoothing?
That was my first impresssion. Haul it through Poseray and see if you can change the smoothing; it's worth it! Very cool scene.
Cool scene!
Well done :)
Turned smoothing off b4 exporting from Poser.............any better?
Actually i don't see much difference Yossam.
Interesting! Hard to say without seeing the real model.
Maybe it is related to texturing and-or shaders,clouds etc.?
cool!
Me neither. Maybe there is something about the normals?!
I think maybe it has some normal problems...........I've run into this b4 with some models. Lighting also has some effect on it also. :o
Thanks to Kadri for the guidance. Looks more like it's supposed to. :)
Yes, that's it!!
One last suggestion: if you'd create subtle small localised clouds with an ocre tint and a small noise scale to where the knights are fighting (the ones on the ground) you could simulate some dust to make it even more dynamic.
Yes, that's it. Great.
Agree with the previous posts and also think a small localized cloud would add that lil touch of reality to the scene...
Dust in the wind................
Nice.
And what was causing the problems and how did you solve them?
Might be good to know for others ,too,don't you think?
Recalculate normals in Poseray............... :o
Aaah,interesting.
Hope it was a free model. ;)

Ah ha...good to know...I've run into that and binned the model...
Yes dust is a good addition.
Hey! Great project and even better update! Looks like something from a game promo shot. The only thing to make this better would be the addition of some details in the scene (some props).
Well done!!!!!
cool.
