I really like the sky here - I think you should aim to add smaller, subtle details in your pics to maximize the impact, such as slight rust, texture variation, geometry variation, etc
Yeah but I don't know how to do these.
You remind me of that guy who commented on one of Ivan's WW2 American packs that some detail on the webbing straps were inaccurate like it mattered at all
does the tank model's smoothing look godawful to anyone else?
Yeah that's a port from Professor Heavy, he works with Milkshape so the quality isn't quite there.
I also use Milkshape. Professor Heavy should look upon my works and despair.
As far as I can tell, the model is a rip from World of Tanks. If the rip is any sort of well-done, it should have bodygroups for earlier models of Panzer IV (or at least, a model that actually existed as opposed to the abomination shown), and also skin-variations to go in a flat panzergrau, since both of those things are available in the game by default and it takes some level of effort to get to the variant shown.
I might be wrong and the model used might not have skin variations or bodygroups, but if it does, making it 'wrong' was a conscious decision.
You're right about the model having those options, but my point wasn't that he didn't have a choice, it was that using this model with this skin doesn't breach the artistic integrity of the piece. (If the job on the model wasn't so awful) I feel using the more complex camo pattern makes the piece more interesting, even if its not to how it was irl
Actually I just mistaped.. I put a 0 instead of a 4...
So a lot of useless explanations, so a lot of pseudo-historical accuracy just for somebody's pride...
Well.
Almost not any graphical opinion except from Vioxtar and Trackster.
I should really stop posting there.
Stfu drama queen, there was about 4 posts about the tank model and 2 comments about the piece itself
welcome to FP lmao
I get where you're coming from bit that's a bit dramatic. A conversation is allowed to happen inside your thread, and its pretty far from a "shitstorm"
Well, with that cleared up, let's just ad that I really like the sky, no matter if we're going 1940 or 1944/45. I like that there's darkness in the right-hand (or eastern) side of the picture with brightness in the left (western) side of the picture, implying either a storm is rolling over western Europe, or the darkness is clearing up with the advancing allies. That works real well. Gives a nice depth to it.
The grass suffers from the typical issues of photoshop-brush-grass, in that it's kind of oddly repetitive and kind of all over the place with a slight lack of depth, but that's a problem with all pictures that have grass in them; either deal with the low-quality source-engine grass or the photoshop-brush grass, both have their issues. In the future, it might help to break up the field of grass with anything else here and there; a lone tree or a bomb-crater or something. Can't really say more about it, I'm personally shit at working with grass in screenshots and this is better than what I'd be able to do, but still 'off' looking.
Tenk model still wrong. IV's in Ardennes late-war would be J models, that appears to be a C with a 5cm in it for some God-forsaken reason thought up by wargaming.net. But I think we've made it clear already that caring about that is not a popular move.
