LFC4EVER Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Looks awesome. the colouring is just perfecto! Is it me, or did you forget the distort the texture so it makes it look spherical. I see a flat texture behind the lighting.. =S I'm sure the final piece will be awesome though! Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::.

Sozo Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Looks awesome. the colouring is just perfecto! Is it me, or did you forget the distort the texture so it makes it look spherical. I see a flat texture behind the lighting.. =S I'm sure the final piece will be awesome though! I definitely spherized it. Perhaps the difference is not as obvious because the upload is rather LQ. I'll check it out in the .pdn file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Perhaps it's because the highlight is uniform entirely. Maybe if you made it thinner and disappear at the bottom...it looks sort of...soft beveled right now.

Sozo Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Liking the new layout :wink: Thank you kind sir. I have now updated the second post as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Good job on the planet. It does look as though you have used a linear gradient for the shadow . Try a radial one to match the shape of the planet and I would also lower the opacity of the atmosphere around the edge a touch . :wink: Otherwise its great.

Sozo Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 You're welcome ... because you were one of my inspirations for joining here Way cool! ... it's scary to think this gallery was on the 3rd page ... which has got me wondering how many new members just stay on the first page and miss out on seeing so much awesome stuff towards the end of the pages :?: Good question, though in this case it was my negligence that let my gallery slip all the way to the third page. Good job on the planet. It does look as though you have used a linear gradient for the shadow . Try a radial one to match the shape of the planet and I would also lower the opacity of the atmosphere around the edge a touch . :wink: Otherwise its great. Agreed on both accounts, thanks for the comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer_World14 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Nice layout change Did that take a long amount of time to accomplish? Quote deviantART | Paint.NET Gallery | bennettfrazier.com <-- (My new Website!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sozo Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Aaaah....you and Goonfella: the spacescape pros. I love your work! It's amazing! Thanks! (I'm hardly a pro though... ) Definetely like the new layout. I really like your red sig tag with "I'm Commander Sozo, and I approve of this message." I made that around the time of the presidential elections. It's one of my favs too. Nice layout change. Did that take a long amount of time to accomplish? Eh, about 45 minutes to and hour. Most of that was using OperaTor to get the links off of DevART. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkfight Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Sozo, you have to show me how to get those textures on that purple/reddish planet. Your stuff is awesome, keep it up. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sozo Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Updated my planet WIP, just to show that it really is a work in progress. Compare them and tell me which one is better. The first one is the newer one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowman Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Updated my planet WIP, just to show that it really is a work in progress. Compare them and tell me which one is better. The first one is the newer one. The second one no doubt, it is blended much better, and looks amazing.

Goonfella Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I think the newer one is better but I think you need a darker gradient to darken that part of the planet a bit more and use a radial, not linear,one. Otherwise it`s superb! :wink: Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC4EVER Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 The texture on this is much better than the other. The lighting is a little weak though. Maybe it just needs to fit into a proper piece so all the lighting and stuff looks awesome together. Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::.

Maybe it just needs to fit into a proper piece so all the lighting and stuff looks awesome together. Thanks both of you. In the newer one, the lighting wasn't my main concern; making the texture seem more 3D and less flat was the objective. I'll definitly spiff up the lighting, once I get a good picture to put this in. Also, thanks to gokussj4golden and Yellowman for commenting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
