ZizOiz Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I've been working on this texture. It's supposed to look like a pool, but I'm not sure how to make it look more like a pool, as it doesn't look very pool-like to me. :? Quote Click on my signature image for my gallery | hmmmm...

-Expiration- Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 For starters, you've got the highlights, but where are the shadows? :?: :idea: That might help a bit. Although, personally, I have no idea how one would go about approaching that ... Quote Call me expired. Please.

eraser18 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I was trying to make a pool water image this morning, as well. Let me know if you come up with anything. My attempt was somewhat pathetic. Quote |Eraser18's Gallery| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recon2pointO Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 some pools have like tiled beds maybe that might help, maybe even have the side of the pool visible? Quote the artist formerly known as recon04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Expiration stated you do need shadows and the hightlights are to bright. Experiment with the blurs to see what looks good. Quote My Internet Explorer 8 Concept....

livewrong811 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I was just fooling around, trying to convert Thistutorial into a Paint.NET one. So I ran clouds, did Polar Transormation at default settings, and ended up with something resembling a waterfall. Then I ran a fragment blur, with the blend mode on Darken. It ended up making the sun reflection things, so I thought I'd post the image here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZizOiz Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 the part near the top looks almost exactly like the highlights I was aiming for. :shock: This is how it looks after making the highlights not so visible.

PoisedMaverick Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I was just simply experimenting with new vector brushes. But I like it enough that I want to work with it. I was told that it's overly contrasted and has too little colors... What shall I do? (I also don't like the text font and placement, but is it fine?)

Kaiden2 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 ok first ill address the sig above me..Very good job PoisedMaverick, i realy like the background. The text however should be a little more noticeable and as for the...thing in the middle the red eyes should be changed (imo) or if you dont change that, put some more yellow in to make the bit thats there less...isolated?..i dunno if any of that helped cuz im still slightly noobish. anyway to zizoz now i think the water looks great but imo you took a little to much away from the highlights, i looked back at your earlyer one and i almost like it more somehow, anyways i decided to spend a couple mins trying to make water in pool, turned out better then i thought it would but it still is slightly pathetic (expesialy the grass), i was to lazy to go find that awsome grass turotial. Anyway what i was realy here for is my sig i cant seem to think of anything to improve the text soooo mabye some ideas would be nice.

ZizOiz Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 @ Kaiden: I would suggest adding a side to the pool to make it look more like the water is in a hole, and perhaps an exit ladder and a diving board Quote Click on my signature image for my gallery | hmmmm...

007 Nab Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 If your pool border is on it's own layer, as a border (it isn't filled in where the water is), then you can duplicate, motion blur the layer underneath, and it'll give you much more depth to the pool -- the blur layer should be duplicated and merged repeatedly, so that the lines aren't too solid, but good enough to see that it's there. I dunno if I made sense, I can show you an example if you send me the PDN. Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever. We should go snowboarding some time."~ 007 Nab. Ish.
