Tower WIP

[BoomRat]

Other than the torches, can't see a whole lot.

I'd say that torches that size would throw off more light so you might add an ambient light at a low intensity.

I think it looks pretty good for an early effort. Heres a few things that might make it a little more convincing...

id definitely put the lighting up a bit more. If you used blue lights maybe make them a little less dark in hue. try increasing the falloff of the orange lights in the torch too. that will make it more ambient.

also in terms of textures, the stairs look too tiled & it gives away the illusion you are trying to achieve. also, try a dirty bronze type of texture for the base of the torches rather than the basic shader you used. this will look like it matches the tower a bit better.

Stick with it! You'll be surprised how quickly you will learn...

you'll hate this idea for sure, but rebuild the stairs so that you can put a separate texture on each of them. w. the texture being so big, it's obvious where the texture goes from one step to the other... adjust them so that the texture on each step does not align with the texture on the step above/below it.

also, your lighting is working against you. all that blue light is getting rid of important shadows needed to make those steps look better. the steps should be picking up some light from the torches on the top part, and then the front part should be dark (and blue)

hope that helps
