That building on the left is crying to be detailed
There's a huge blank wall occupying half the scene.

But otherwise that's looking really really nice, colours work really well with the lighting

shadowmancer: Yes, you're prolly right. I've been trying to persuade myself it kinda doesnt need detail but your right it's a big part of the scene so thx I'll get to it.

source-maps: That's a tough one :shock:

how is that tough? the poster is busy while your scene is very peace fully balanced
doesn't fit with the colors of your scene either

The reflection on the metal roof and pipe on the right seems wrong. Its reflecting alot of orange when the near area is grey or yellow. I gues you got a dev texture hidden behind the wall or a misplaced cubemap.

Since when does posters have to fit in? Actually, the point of those is to catch people's eyes and stand out.

Poster fits fine. If anything, want more of them on there.

Replaced old tree and made a continuation of alley. It might have cluttered the scene. Dunno though. Your thoughts?


Looking better so far. I like the new cables coming from the electrical box, and I'm really loving the ivy on the wall there. Nice model.

It still could use a bit more detailing, but it's looking great. I like the addition to the alley, it looks more complete.


I also agree that the Gurren Lagann poster should get removed eventually. It just clashes in my opinion.

PS: I liked the old tree better for some reason. I guess the broader leaves looked a bit nicer.

Just desaturate / reduce the contrast on the poster so that it doesn't stand out so much.

I don't think you people understand what posters are for.

A poster is any piece of printed paper designed to be attached to a wall or vertical surface. Typically posters include both textual and graphic elements, although a poster may be either wholly graphical or wholly text. Posters are designed to be both eye-catching and informative. Posters may be used for many purposes. They are a frequent tool of advertisers (particularly of events, musicians and films), propagandists, protestors and other groups trying to communicate a message. Posters are also used for reproductions of artwork, particularly famous works, and are generally low-cost compared to original artwork.

how ever, that doesn't mean you should dip your lobster in tacky mayonnaise

The scene is about composition. The poster must fit in with the scene. You must be consistent. Remember, real life does not apply to games; what makes sense in real life rarely does in a game. The poster stands out because it does not look like it should be there or in that style within the context of the scene.

Therefore, the argument of 'purpose' is irrelevant.

I mean, come on. The scene has dominant whites, greys, yellows and greens. That poster is mainly reds and oranges. It attracts attention for no reason, and it shouldn't.
