d4rk3lf 109 posts08 Jun 2008Hi there fellows
This is my new animation (done within 2 weeks, from scratch).
What can I say... I am not satisfied at all... my modeling sucks, texturing is even worse, I didn't have much time to improve the lightning, animation have it's own mistakes, bad Dof... bah... everything sucks.
The thing that demoralize me at very start was the music that client choose... that jazz-rock was very bad choice in my opinion... I have my own mistakes, as well.
What is important, is that the client is pleased.
Here you can look on it and comment:

d4rk3lf 109 posts09 Jun 2008Nock-nock, anybody here?
(I feel like in some post-apocalypse movie, where you wake up, and there is nobody there, and you are in an empty town ). -
09 Jun 2008*crickets* it looks good considering the time spent on it. was it all just your work? all that matters is that the client is happy, good job!
ps: the music is a bit iffy hehe, but i can understand since it wasn't your choice. -
09 Jun 2008As long as the client is happy then all is well. However, not being totally satisfied with your work is, IMO, one of the things that drives us to improve and develop our skills... so that's not a bad thing.
I particularly liked the 'Power Up' part -

09 Jun 2008Hey man,
Well for 2 weeks on your own that's very good! Lots of big environments can be daunting, but you pulled it off with good consistency.
The biggest thing lacking IMO was the lighting....with better lighting the whole thing could have looked amazing, but right now it looks more like a video game from a few years ago. But that's okay! As you said...with more time all of those things would have been improved.
Also, good to see you making good use of the ky_trails plugin

d4rk3lf 109 posts10 Jun 2008Thanks a lot mates for your comments.
I agreed that the important thing is that the client is happy, but the thing that annoyed me is the fact that I didn't improve since my last project.
Anyway, I am already work on new project, and I hope it will be much better.
@ BColbourn
Yes, It was all my work... the music is horrifying, if you ask me... download and listen to music that I suggested to the client (from 1:20):

Did you already see the race?
@ Global
Thanks mate.
Yeah... I agree... being honest to ourself keeps as going further... once the man is fully satisfied with his work, this is end...
@ mahmoudnahmad
Thanks pal
@ ivanisavich
Thanks a lot.
Well, you are absolutely right about lightning! I really hope that in your future tutorials (and I have watched every one you made), I hope that you will be focusing more on light (scanline + AO pass). I use very often e-light script (did you use it sometimes?), and that's a good and fast way to get soft diffuse shadows on objects, but diffuse lightning is always very linear, because all of that sorounding lights that have the same color (I guess that's why you always choose different color for your fill lights (Am I right? )).
Cheers, and thanks again
