played 70+ hours gmod and finally decided to make these.
shadows are so hard to control lol.[IMG]http://i.na.cx/5v4jX6.jpg[/IMG]
[QUOTE=gtanoofa;46130600]What's wrong with the fog? It looks like it's covering the surounding area but the skybox looks intact and has no trace of it. The angle is lovely, but the phong makes them like they are wearing latex suits. I would zoom in more if i were you.
Still a nice looking picture.[/QUOTE]
I thought Hazmat suits are supposed to glare like that :P
I don't know how to make the skybox coherent with the fog, to be honest...some tutorials will be appreciated. :)
what were you trying to do with the bright white light shining on the soldiers from behind the camera?

That's not my light. It's in the map :P
if you are saying why i put down lights, maybe for cinematic effects? i'm not sure.

I'm not that good at photoshop, so I'd say f*** the skybox and take another angle.
added a few zombies to enhance the scene lol. Shadow grains are so annoying.
of those three pics the middle one looks the best because of the contrast in the lighting. the main shot in the OP looks flat because of the strong light shining on them from the direction of the camera. try to avoid lighting like that unless there are bright flashlights in the play, because it makes things look uninteresting, desaturated and two-dimensional. three-point lighting works best, eg. one faint atmospheric light, a stronger main light source and one intense light from behind-ish to create outlines. google the term, it'll help a lot
the posing's pretty good btw. this thread has a guide for removing most of the shadow grain [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1112981[/url]
if you still get them though, use the blurring tool(s) in GIMP/Photoshop to smooth them out
also, you don't need to use any swear word censorship here. shit, piss, fuck, cunt, motherfucker, cocksucker and tits are all okay, no-one's going to complain for using them here

Let's hope this wouldn't happen.:rock:
I have to agree with Joaz, that middle pic is really good. I would add that in the very first pic you used some sort of filter to blur the bottom 20% and upper 20%. Try not to use that filter, rather use SuperDof, which when learned, can make pictures look very cinematic.
Some beginners have trouble with how to use Super Dof. The solution is just to play with it and click on 'render.' That's about it.
In regards to the pic though, I would mention that it would've been better to pic a slightly less bright gun. The white part of the gun is just too bright, it feels as if the shadows weren't cast on it correctly. Maybe go with a darker gun next time.
