Title: Lighthouse point
Post by: moodflow on September 09, 2007, 07:05:26 PM
Nothing fancy, but had some fun making this one.  Its still not complete by any means, but I figured I'd post it anyway.  For some reason, the grass got messed up and now looks funny, but ohh well   ;D

This new update really has made things go smoother too.  I think water transparency would make this image alot better.

Nice. Shoreline is very good. These rocks are just how you'd see things. The only thing I think is that the darker surface is a little high. That looks like a high tide mark but it looks too high, especially with the ship and lighthouse giving us a sense of scale.

Change the title to 'Bay of Fundy', it's perfect.

;D

Very nice,  the rocks are particularly realistic; As you say the grass looks a little strange.

Just one minor point:

The ship looks HUGE in relation to the rest of the scene.

So the Bay of Fundy has huge tides?

This picture looks like the UK though where I live.

Yes, there is definitely scale issues but funnily enough I though the ship looked small because I was getting a scale indication from the tide marks which looks too high.

Heheh yea!  Or maybe there is a tsunami on the way.  Those guys better get to open seas!

nice scene overall......I would bump down the water reflectivity a little bit!

I was comparing the ship with the lighthouse. 

For me the scale of the lighthouse and the rocks looks right and sets the scale for the scene.  This does suggest that the high tide level should be lowered and for me makes the ship look out of scale.

I like it to. The rock surafce is great although I have to agree with efflux about the darker surface is a little high.

Like this overall.  I think the moon is sort of in the way...LOL.  It's funny how we rate these though, since a regular sky (and I say it might even be a wonderful sky) might even be full of all kinds of stuff we can't control.  Maybe it comes down to lighting and the lighting is pretty good in this, albeit a little soft for my liking.

This image started off as a rock study, then got worse from there on out, LOL.
