cd cover

[Joel Hooks]

Seems like the drain should be depressed into the ground more to me.

Otherwise that is a disgustingly beautiful rendering :)

[Error323]

I love it!!! a few points:

- I don't think it looks like a tongue (more like a cockroach or whatever u name it in english)

- The blood is also a bit fake.. i bet u can make it more realistic :)

- The groves between the tiles on the floor could use some bumpmapping wich makes it more realistic

But further it's very nice!!! Beatifull texture on the "tongue"

[Raji]

the main thing I don't like is the lighting... there's no life to it. I really think you should try to add some drama to your lights to intensify what is already a great picture.

forgive me for asking... but WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

looks swell .. not a cd cover i would buy.. but

yeah and the drain looks a little wrong

[PyroEvil]

heyyy ... thanx for greats and constructives comments all !!! :)
I'm making some littles changes and i'll show you when it's done.

That's just a cd cover for music demo. I did it for a friend , for fun and for practice with XSI.

the ruff strokes you have made on the tiles are to well orginaized or to even in thickness! play with alot of different sizes and try to blend it better,, chaos thats the word:)
would be nice if you show us the final Image with text and stuff!

hey!,...nice, & you can post it to Rotten.com! :)

[Barracuda]

lighting needs a lot of work. do it. as graphiouz I'd like to see all elements (title and all text stuff or whatever elements would be) for now it doesn't look like CD cover. before doing any work good thing is to analyze analogues (in this case it would be CD covers of other performers) and make conclusions.

[Spliff_Richards]

I think the toungue looks like a melted hand grenade.......other than that and the lighting it looks really cool...

displacement texture for the floor:

Displacement take a lot of render time , but i did it just to try it ! :)

reflection texture:

main texture , for ambient and diffuse:

Bump textures:

Between the tiles. A other texture is used for bumping all the floor.... but it's just a black and white pic with grain.

[Marcel]

Very nice, I like it a lot!

If you're gonna use it for a CD cover, I'd change the composition a bit: Make the tongue bigger more pronounced.
Also, a subtle depth of field would improve it also.

And if you have the time, fix the mapping on the holes in the drain. That streaking on the edges are ruining it a bit.

Greetings,

Marcel

[Aearon]

wow, you really got the look of that silver texture right, it looks like some...organic silver tongue :)

most points you could improve were already mentioned, and i completely agree with that (scratches on tiles, overall lightning blood)

one more thing on the blood though: bear in mind how blood will flow and spread, it would just be thin film on the tiles, your blood looks too bumpy in places, try to make that bump/displacement map more even where the blood is.

[chi]

hi looking at your bump map your blood is making a dent in the floor? the bump goes the wrong way, with your current settings for bump, you need to have the blood a darker shade than the rest of the floor.

i hope you understand

other than this problem its a great image

[shittnt]

I like this feeling , yeah blood ! i want to see your works more , can i do it ??:bounce:

[PyroEvil]

final pic !!!
I did this little modification with your comments.
Thanx all.

[GRMac13]

THAT looks alot better! I really like it. My only suggestion would be to lose the ridges on the "tongue." That's the main thing holding it back from being instantly recognizable as a tongue. The ridges make it look like either a mechanical object or a creature with an exoskeleton of some kind. Look at your own tongue in a mirror and try to replicate that. The bumps should be more like "goose-bumps" instead of long ridges going around it. Just a suggestion. Let's see it completed w/ text and all.

[Sevarf2]

Very good textures , :applause: but poor illumination.

[DgiMusique]

doing good man! the band is gonna be happy... we begin the recordings in a few days, by the end of the summer that cd is supposed to be done... as the guitar player and back vocals singer, i can tell the world that this CD will rock... hope people will like our music!

Oh yeah by the way... THIS IS SO LOUD!

i love our cover man! Thanks Pyro
