Hey I'm happy that it is on the final stage, I finished but accepet critics, and that's what I want... the final stage is, finished until someone point something to fix or improve.

Thanks for all your help, I really enjoyed this one.

Nice atmosphere. Maybe a small gradient on the background would be better (lighter at the left and darker at the right). More contrast at the bottom of the scene can enhance the dust at the horizon. This will give more depth. It is only a work of photo editing and personal artistic view.
Why bullets were not used? they are positioned on the ground as if they had served but they are full.

Thanks Marcel! Yes, the scene is better that way, but what you talked about contrast at the bottom of the image? You mean that I need to select the bottom of the image (20%?) and then increase the contrast?

Thanks

Actually most of bullets in the scene had been used and just those closer to the guns (and camera) are full.

leonregis: "but what you talked about contrast at the bottom of the image?"
To enhance the effect of depth, create a mask then add more contrast and dark. Just a little like you can see at the right. It was what i did in my first test.

WOW! The scene is really starting to take shape nicely... looking great marcel!

I tend to be way too impatient and quickly loose interest if a scene takes too long, as a result, I have a lot of unfinished scenes and models just sitting on my hard drive

I hope you understand that is a work of Leonregis! I just show some idea to enhance the result.

Ahh, I thought it was funny that I saw your name with those images but it didn't sink in and I didn't read all the posts

Sorry, leonregis

Great work on this, love the atmosphere and lighting effects, really gives it that special something...

Very nice Leon....

bitkar · Post by **bitkar** » 23 Jul 2010, 08:10

very good.

looks great, leonregis... love the way you composed the scene, the bumpmap foreground works well and the "fog" works perfectly for the mood of the scene... well done

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 24 Jul 2010, 02:51

Looks good! Did you do the contrast thing for the fog like was discussed earlier in the thread?

Very nice war scene Leonregis! It reminds me of the Medal of Honor and Call of Duty WWII games that I played so often. But I must admit that Marcel is right about creating more depth to the scene. It does look a bit flat. You can change this the way he said and you can also change the brightness and contrast and above all, play with the Levels settings to give the colours a more natural look. It will really add to the quality of your render. I myself love to work with Photoshop and I am always looking for ways to pimp my renders a bit. To show you what I mean, I "Photoshoped" your renders a bit to get a more "film-look". I did this with your image to show you what is possible and to push you in the right direction. Leonregis, I hope you like it.

Well That's actually the final version of the render, so there's nothing more I like to render. But I wouldn't mind in improve it on photoshop or anything related to it. The problem is, I just don't know how to, I never tried before, so maybe would be a good chance to.

Buzz I quite liked what you did, that blur and sensation of DoF. I like most the first, because it mantain the yellow color that I want in the scene, because of the dust. I really would like to know what you can do

Thanks for all positive feedback v3rd3, bitkar, theuns, Finis and Buzz
