[B]Papa Smurf is recovering. Beware the almighty Matt Ward!

In a few hours, a new (well, new-[I]ish[/I]) Duke Nukem project will be revealed to the world after a lengthy absence from the public eye following the… [I]unfortunate[/I] previous game. The big question is… will anybody still care?

tried so hard to make a night scene, I feel like the flashlight effect is an eyesore now I look at it
Idk, I think the light source is propably too high to shine on top of the trees.

this is absolutely awesome
it's not the effect that's bad, it's the positioning of the flashlight in the scene. the light is awkwardly positioned in the bottom-center of a pretty clustered image with lots of buildings and trees around, and the beam, which your eyes naturally follow, is pointed at a comparatively small and out-of-the-way part of the picture.
imo it would look a lot better if you either had the flashlight being pointed at the billboard (since that's where your eyes naturally go to) and cropped down the right side of the image slightly, or cut off everything except the bottom-right portion with the power suited guys and the road.

I was about to say the same thing. Cone nailed it. When you take a picture, make sure that your eye is focused in the vicinity of the center. My eye keeps going from the middle to the bottom right, which is off.
Cone gave great criticism and I can see what he means, but I really wanted to light that area up and I wasn't sure how to do it without distracting the viewer's vision
Did a thing... still trying to get the hang of lighting and shadows and stuff. Was messing around with blue and orange lights this round.

I see, if you wanna do it that way here's how you could do it.
Set the lamp brightness lower and don't use the flashlight lamp but rather the soft gradient lamp when you select the type of lamp. Also lower the brightness of the lamp itself. Then you'd wanna balance the picture out by maybe lighting up the nuka cola with strong (2.00+)yellow lamps from the bottom, kind of what Cone said to balance the pic out.
See how you added that tower in the distance with the yellow lamp shining on it (looks pretty), kind of like that only more of that on the top right part could work.

Let's hope this makes up for my previous Fallout-themed flop, supposed to look like a player home like in all of the mods. Was hard to get an angle that showed the entire area so I just took three.

You should've made a thread, this stuff's great. You nailed it. There's shadow problems like the white tv not casting shadows on the chair and left cupboard that's closer to the viewer, but that's a gmod thing.
You really need to chill with the Chromatic Aberration dude.

Under Construction
My first attempt at a scenebuild.
(Thanks to VIoxtar for his great tutorial.)
EDIT : [URL="http://puu.sh/qYzbN/81a62c3e90.png"]Full image (puush)[/URL]
For your first scenebuild, that's great. The composition is pretty much spot-on and the use of foliage doesn't look copy pasted (trees are varied and grass doesn't look duplicated)
[QUOTE=gtanoofa;50994843]looks amazing, but the set the image quality to 100 next time.
I think the console command is jpeg_quality 100 not sure.[/QUOTE]
And if you insist on using imgur as a host then make sure your filesize is under 2MB or it'll be compressed.

Updated the post with a puush image (barely noticeable difference, though).

Derelict
Another one. This one's rushed, I forgot to pose the man's fingers.

Miscellaneous pose I made for a pistol release pic. I'm proud of the lighting, didn't expect it to look that good.

Tried out SFM for the first time today.
C&C is appreciated if anyone has any.

Adjust the render settings so the aperture does not look that bad.
