Menu Screen Updated Again!

I decided to remove the slann king from the main menu screen seeing as it was way to low poly. Also I added some bushes and fixed it up a bit. Anyway it's much calmer and better now. This is the final version of the menu for now.

the scene is too boring and monotone, try changing the color scheme a little. the blob of grass on the bottom left ruins alot of the menu. the mountains in the background look too squareshape and unnatural. the texture of the sand is too blurry. the sky has way too little contrast. the angle of what were seeing is very very basic and it makes those yellow symbols look more like buttons you can press.

No one asked for your opinion Mav. You don't know **** about modelling and you couldn't do better yourself. And your skins isn't THAT good as you think they are. They just got another style. I skin my models wanting them to have a warcraft 3 style. And they have it. Which is why they fit ingame. Now your skins doesn't fit ingame at all. So go and skin a FPS or something instead cause around here, your opinion isn't needed since you NEVER point out good things anyway.

That menu is great, I don't see why you have to complain about it so much because I don't see you making one that is better. Only thing I don't like about it is the snow on the metal by the Credits. Im guessing theres some issue and it couldn't be removed.

Hehe, the snow isn't a part of the 3d background itself. I'm gonna fix that one soon.

While he lacks any respect for fellow artists feelings, Wolverine probably gave you the best critique he could have...
Everything he said, I was thinking when I looked at your image....

I might not have come out like that and spouted out whats wrong, but he got to the point without sugar coating it...

Wolv, work on your personal skills,
Rightfield, work on your critique receiving skillls (this is important as an artist)

If you wanna job in the industry, you'll have an art lead come over to your desk and tell you your scene sucks, and he dont like this, this, and this... you cant yell back in his face if you dont agree.. you need to create something that fits better with the teams vision....You may not like wolverine personally, but what he says here, holds merit.

That grassy blob thing in the bottom left is very indistiguishable and kinda ugly.. you could remove it and improve the image a lot..
also, move the grass blades down so we cant see where the .blp file ends....
Your nexus type structure is fine, but definately rotate it so we can see 2 sides at once...its a lot more interesting compositionally, and with that straight on view I also thought the gold things were buttons
The sand texture IS very blurry, and you could repaint a more detailed image very easily... it will help set the scale better.. your nexus thing looks like its 8 feet tall

I think the sky and mountains are ok, they're in the bg so you dont notice them too much...

I dont know if you can, but try working with lighting a bit.. everything looks very bright, like its noon, but the sun looks like its setting in the sky

Hope that helps you make some corrections, other than that, its some good modelling, and texture application....keep up the good work....

BTW... Wolverine might not have 3d experience, but that menu, while technically a 3d scene, only has one camera view and therefore become a "2d" image... and I believe he has enough sense to comment on a 2d image.

If you dont like my comments, I'm sorry, but I did attend art school for 3 years, and know about giving and receiving critique...
To be defensive means you're insecure with your own style....
There's always room for improvement, and sometimes you need another persons eyes to see what you are missing!
The meaner the critique, the more helpful it can be....

Peace,

omg righfield ur a damn kiddie?! stop flaming around...

the screen itself isn't bad...but not taht good...imho the tempel model isn't that good...

I really like the main menu! The blob and the sand i can agree on but the sky and the mountain, i have no idea why you have complaints about that...

And, if you wanna avoid hurt feelings and such, don't only say the bad things! Say what you really like about it too! There is almost always something... If you only say the bad things and on top of that being rude it will only cause alot of angryness and tention between you...

What i especially like is the glowing on the temple! I mean, I try making such things and it is hard! I have problems with effects and particles... But there is more i like just that typing so much has made me forgot how the picture looked :ggani:

I found very little I liked on the picture apart from the new font, but that you have already been told by someone else. Im afraid but if people dont want their feelings hurt, they shouldnt post their work. Darkblood is right though, Ill work on pedagogic skills.

Found some more problems, the logo. Its a planet? Cos its got no landmass. And the shape isnt spherical. The scene is very desert like, im not sure it will go well with swamp creatures.

The logo is a planet and it has a landmass. It's only made a bit more blue to make it look better. Belive me, it's better than the one that was not blue. Anyway I HAVE fixed the scene "a bit" and i hope you like the changes.

THATS DAMN SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

YOU ROCK RIGHTFIELD !!!!!!!!!!!!1

That is MUCH MUCH better than the first one.

awsomeas always RF! :D

cant find too much u can improve, maybe jsut add some plants to the side of the temple cus in ur pic only the front of it has plants growing on it.

everything else looks great,
though i still think that temple model would look way better if you moved the spikes to the corner insted of it going through the steps

thats much better...the symbols fit very well now...:D

What a beautiful little butterfly! Really really good!
