Ball Fields

I also think you need to redden the sun color. Can you add a gel to it to make the lower light cooler and the upper very warm?

 

Also, the grass of the ballfield could be more different from the general grass, especially since the field is the subject. I suppose making the regular grass less green, maybe punch the contrast on the field a little.

 

Otherwise--very nice!

Great images Allen. I especially like the mapping on the parking lot and road. can i ask how it was done? I recently did an animation with a big parking lot and didnt want to model the lines in the road in order to lower the poly count, so i made one huge map for the whole parking lot with the lines painted on. almost pulled out all my hair trying to get it to line up. Did you use the same hair-pulling process?

Thanks for the replies.

 

The lines in the parking lot and street are modeled. I've tried mapping but I end up never satisfied with it. The lines do not add that many polygons and are faster to apply. The traffic and oil marks are painted as a grayscale and used in the diffuse channel.

 

Lighting is always the toughest part of this...I'll reduce the "blue" add more orange/red. Heck, I might even look outside today to see what the sky and surrounding colors look like. :p

 

Trees are from Marlin Studios.

 

I'll look at the grass again - it's like that now - does need a little more "oomph"

 

I'm working on the bleachers now - adding more details. I'll test render and see what a shot from the bleachers looks like. They're not very detailed at all so I tried to stay a good distance from them.

 

Thanks again. I'll post after changes.

They look really nice but they are a bit dismall as Chad Warner said. Maybe take the final image into photoshop and play with the contrast, they appear as if it is a smoggy day.

Smoggy - Didn't mean to - but if you've ever been to north texas in the summer....:)

Need to adjust fog and light settings.

 

Thanks.

Thanks, Mike

 

Finished the stands last night adding seats and rails as well as more detail for the structural supports. Added a lot of geometry - hopefully the rendering will be decent by the time I get back to the office in the morning.

 

BTW, love Hawaii - beautiful place.

And there's your winner!

 

Thanks, Earnest....and the others. I think it's finally getting close to what I had in my head.

 

This forum does what every forum should do - makes me better - makes me strive for constant improvements. What a great opportunity to "hang-out" with the quality of artists at this site.
