Mayor_McSteeze Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 This is my first attempt at Planet making. I wasn't able to use Shape 3D because of no admin rights on my computer But otherwise i think it turned out well. Critiques are welcome.

flip Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 The planet is transparent, and it doesn't look perfectly round. Texture is cool though. Look at my planet tutorial for some tips if you want. Quote Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbieq25 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Aside from the lopsided bit, I think it looks pretty cool. I like your idea & the textures. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry. April Jones, 2012 Gallery My DA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Nab Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 If you're not gonna use S3D you might wanna try out Bulge instead. Make sure to paint over the shadow - you wouldn't have stars leaking through Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever. We should go snowboarding some time."~ 007 Nab. Ish.

Mayor_McSteeze Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I tried to use a little bit of bulge but i didn't wanna over do it. thanks for the idea's everyone.

olav.k.m Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Haven't tried bulge myself but the Lens effect often works good. Just make a circular shaped selection somewhere on your texture and run the effect. Afterward just cut the rest of the texture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayor_McSteeze Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Wow Falken that looks really good. i like the color and texture of the planet it works good with the whole scheme of things. The planet looks akward just sitting in the middle of the picture, maybe try moving it off to the side to give it more depth next time. Good job though. 8.5\10 Quote Vortex Tutorial | Texture Tutorial | My Gallery | Glossy Water Tut | | deviantART | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarkut Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Falken, Nice concept piece. Interesting planet texture. I get the impression those two don't get along well with each other. The one on the bottom. Australian? ========================== Mayor_McSteeze, Try to get whoever has an admin. account to install some plugins for you, if you can, it will make a big difference in what you can do. ================================== Runaway space doodle. I just wanted to see how well Simon's new plugin does at saucer death-rays. It's better than doing it manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayor_McSteeze Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 @ Sarkut: actually i have many plugins but i just got a new computer so i cant get any more plugins which is mainly S3D but i have mostly everything else.

csm725 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Nice, but why didn't you use a trans. gradient to fade out the left-most planet? That takes away from the piece. Now, for my spacescape rating system (As seen here): Stars: N/A (15/35) - Every spacescape needs stars. Clouds/nebulae: 17/25 - Nebulae are a little packed and un-natural. Planets: 22/40 - minus 13 points on 1st planet's texture and glow, minus 5 on the lack of trans. gradient on the left planet. 54/100. Nobody learns from just saying, "Nice job."

csm725 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 @McSteeze Still, you didnt use a transparent gradient on the moon thing. I mean like this (click for full-size): Stars: 28/35 (+13) Clouds/nebulae: 22/25 - Nebulae are a little packed and un-natural. (+5) Planets: 30/40 - Nice. Good improvement. (+8) Others: -4 - The black horizontal border is not so good. 76/100.

Mayor_McSteeze Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Ahh. csm, i still dont under stand what your talking about with the transparent gradient and it makes me feel like a noob the moon is supposed to be in front so i dont see why it should have a gradient on the right portion of it. Anywho, in regards to your controller piece, Pros: The screen in the middle is a NICE touch, the buttons look pretty good as well and the color has a nice texture if you will. Cons: Im not sure how you were intending to make the actual joysticks Ps3 and XBox like joysticks but i feel like they are to "arcade" for the controller. The controller almost looks like a PS3 controller without the joysticks. Great Idea and Concept. Joysticks and Left side Keypad need improvment. 7.5\10 Quote Vortex Tutorial | Texture Tutorial | My Gallery | Glossy Water Tut | | deviantART | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skitzo Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 @csm775, love the controller. although it has a few mistakes, like the actual red joysticks, and the buttons need a few improvements. but overall, 8/10, because i could never even attempt to make such a thing. @Mayor_McSteeze, very nice. i LOVE the blue planets texture. it really makes it stand out from the other planet. and the smaller one, pretty good, but not as good as the bigger planet. you might need to feather the edges, and the light, its a tad too big. overall, a 6/10. but please know that your bigger planets texture is brilliant, it gives it a real planet feel to it. and my little space scene, please rate?

Kemaru Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Good texture on the planet, and the background is pretty good, too (although one of the nebulae is cut pretty badly. Top left, a little towards the centre).

Falken Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 very nice texture. It would look a bit nicer with a rounder shadow on the planet, the one you've got kinda makes it look a bit flat, and try adding a few more stars- the background looks a bit plain. 8/10 stars Here is my latest piece, inspired by the Halo video game.
