good idea.gl

very good

Contest Goal: " CREATE" an old map, like the ones used in the old days.


The entire point of the contest is the map, nothing else should be added. Your presentation hides the map from the viewer, there is no clear view of it, how can that be on theme?

This really doesn't fit the theme, sorry. You were supposed to make an old map, not put a map in a room with a 1600's explorer. I see three maps but that wasn't the theme.

Where is the map you created as in the contest goal?

congrats

This is a nice combination of objects. IMO, some light sources/shadows need tweaking. If there is light casting a downward shadow on the framed piece, there should be no shadow on top. Also, the spotting scope would share some of that bright light hitting the instrument in the man's hand. I think if the light sources (I realize they are complex) all jive, this could be great .

sorry that this didnt get higher, i gave this my highest vote...

Congratulations for 2nd

Congrats for your second place, Loyd!

holy cow! I didn't know South-American butterflies have see-through wings! That is cool!

you should have shown the whole sword

call me picky but I think if the contest is to make a sword, the whole sword should show. good job though

Very very good job in recovering the background! It's absolutely convincing. Good luck!

nice work -- great choice of source

Ok, sorry. Well then, I can rate it. Great job! I like the use of the map.

cool

what is with the CMYK Avatar obsession

love sunflowers.beautiful colour choice..

If you're using the light source in your 3D program, the original shadow is correct. Looks like you drew one in because there wasn't on in the first place. There wasn't one because the angle of your light source doesn't cause a shadow to be there. You should just eliminate that shadow all together. See, the light is coming from above the camera. It's brighter on this side of the sword than the other. It's the same angle as the hilt almost. So there wouldn't be a shadow there. Trust your 3D program light source.

hehehehe...

Actually it's not perfect...the bar on top of the glasses is behind the lens on the right and in front of the lens on the left.

Haha! YES! Perfect.

Great imagination!! and well done!! GL author!!
