All My Friends (Are Cubes)

I don't even know.

I got Cubection.

Diggin' that construction on the rise.
Not sure if I dig the little blue guy, though.

I find it grainy?! The only way I can describe it is to compare it to a really high ISO in low light (on a camera).

I really like the depth of field, the lighting of the building, and the blocks themselves.
I question the brightness/amount of screen usage of the sun. I get almost frustrated by it because I can't see the blocks as well as I'd like. Perhaps this is intended, and if so, great job and screw you.

I thought that might pick at your sore spots. :V

Not saying it has to be there for the terrain on its own, but for the contest and the theme it plays a pivotal role (at least for my interpretation of it).

Little trick I pulled with an additive model placed in front of the camera.

Helps shitloads with how the light plays with the grass.

May try a different approach.

It is both to avoid EOTW and boost floral lighting.

Also I wanted to try a lens flare effect.

Not sure I like it, although I would be curious to see what it looks like without it before having a firm opinion.

Ahh, makes sense. I wonder then if it just ends too abruptly and isn't blinding enough.

This was the best example I could find after a quick search. I think the cube closest to viewer should be brighter. Perhaps. This is getting really nit-picky though. Mostly the grain bothers me.

Clicky

When great skills are used for really f***ing stupid things.

Cool.

Okay.

This is what it looks like without the additive model placed in front of the camera.

I don't know, it is just more monotonous.

Also I did some changes so it doesn't affect the sky as much. Is this less grainy?

 

[Gilles]

Definitely a lot better. So much better. Can't decide between the one with the (glow?) model and the one without. I like the model, but it seems a tad too green? Is that simply how it interacts with the vegetation?

Cool terrain pic, Your terraining skill is so awesome because you make the light effects amazing . I will practice the light manipulation in terraining .

It's actually a bush with its material filter mode set to additive and scaled up to cover the grass. What I wanted was [slightly] random green variations to the red/brown grass. The sun and glow models just really enhanced it and I just sorta went with it.

Thanks. I put a lot of thought into that.

Original and good looking but might want to change the lightning at the cube infront of the sun since the light is coming from behind and not the front it seems weird. But besides that lovely ^^

I don't know if I actually could disagree more to this than I do.
- The lighting is fine.

Agree with Keiji, that sun flare is pretty much spot on.



Oh God I'm funny.
