Just wondering which layout you think is better, between the original and the current version. And then I have a few more questions if you don’t mind answering them. I used to hang out with other artists and I could get them to critique my work but these days I don’t get out much…
-
Question of
which version do you prefer?
-
headroom -
bodyshot
-
-
Question of
if you prefer bodyshot, would you like the mannequins to have cracks?
-
Yes
-
No
-
-
Question of
should I change the background?
-
Yes
-
No
-
I chose headroom. I like bot the cracks and the gaze.
you’re an original recipe kinda gal
i like the manequins to have cracks. it is more realistic.
I tend to agree with you, so I will look into cracks. I figure a displacement map and an ambient occlusion map should do the trick…
ohh great, see the effect if they will look more realistic and with body.
first I make the texture, then I apply it, finally test render…
how long does it take for you to render a work/? for example this, 3 images plus a background.
test renders are fast, usually less than a few minutes…
For “should I change the background” I would choose MAYBE but it was not a choice. I put yes but did not really mean it.
I am unhappy with the background but everyone else seems to like it…
I chose headroom because I like cracks on the mannequin’s body. I think the background is appropriate. While the main figure is cool!
I will come up with a better crack solution
I see the cracks on the mannequin are cool!
they indicate the passage of time
Agree! I want to see the indication in another place too, may I?
I would add cracks, the background is appropriate
I will figure out a way to add cracks
The background is fitting for the mood of the piece.
Glad to hear everyone likes the background
Cracks would be a cool touch making it look more real I believe.
I will do a few tests and post them here
The cracks in the manicans make them look authentic, especially when the room has an untouched feeling to it.
and then grunge it all up, eh?
Oh yeah which I’m sure you will do well : )
I still need to do the cracks first, not so much worried about the grunge part…
Cool! I’m thinking icky spider webs too
wow, hard to decide on this one. I picked the body shot but think cracks would add something to both, Nice!
I will set some time aside to do a crack test…
Ok, but I have to mention you might have said that differently. Perhaps applying cracks to the image, rather than testing crack 🙂
Just saying…
I don’t think I’ve made a crack joke in ages, but back in the day freebase humor was all the rage…
I have a friend that still does standup on the Midwest circuit. He used to do a bit about freebasing free range chickens and the farmers that chased them! The eggs once laid were pre-fried!
Bodyshot is prettier … it shows a nice body
then bodyshot it shall be
Exactly … this is the real thing
I have a lot going on right now, but after I figure out how to apply cracks I will do another bodyshot…
Nice image of Pris with the body image.
it is sorta an evolution…
I get it now since the Pris character has a beginning and a present as well as future.
Pris doesn’t have a future, she was born with a four year lifespan. I was thinking of the evolution from mannequin to replicant…
Thank you for correcting me since I used to watch science fictions shows but I never really understood them.
Very nice again friend. Superb
thank you for saying so…
You most welcome dear friend
you are too nice to an old pixel pusher
Nice shot of Priss it certainly is different and quite beautiful although she is scary.
she is scary because she is fighting for her life
Then I don’t blame her at all
the plight of replicants is an abomination
I don’t know the full story but sounds a terrible plight.
