Challenge #34: Anim8or 1.0 splash screen

<< < (13/37) > >>

@ENSONIQ5, Aww thanks, the trick of the trade is to act out the poses before making them so as to get a feeling of the *weightyness* and balance of the poses to inform how they should be drawn on the screen.

@thecolclough I like your suggestion it looks nice, you'll see it updated in my next wip post.

thecolclough:
okay... i got so many scrapes and bruises right now from battling ART :P  I'm fairly happy with how my scene is coming along overall (i've added the suspension cables, which were the last missing bit of modelling, and i think i've improved the readability of the text), but there's the occasional little bit which just doesn't want to come out how i want.  the main culprit is the right-hand end of the version-number block; i've tried all sorts of things to get it to show up red like the sides of the letters above it, but it seems determined to stay brown for some reason.  hmph >:(

also, i know it's all a bit grainy atm, but i'm planning to crank up the sample count for the final render.  the last two i posted were at 16, this one's 25, and i'm thinking i might go for 64 on the final pass.  if the render time isn't too prohibitive, i'd like to run off a full-HD version just to see what it looks like, but we'll have to wait and see on that one! :D

anyway, what do you guys think of this one?  is it more readable (or less, or no difference)?  any other detail critiques?

If it's worth anything to you, fromsoysauce, it looks amazing! I would've definitely taken a different font (and a text-logo or icon could probably be something down the road), but otherwise the scene looks awesome. I'm excited to see what you add in the background!

fromsoysauce:
@thecolclough It's a lot better, though is the "NIM" yellow on purpose?  I think it might be easier to read if it were just as red as the other characters.

@davdud101, Thanks, and yea I'm not super sure what to do about the font yet, but I picked the one in the pic because it looked usable for a cute fantasy, which is what the rest of the image is framing.

i tried experimenting with orange glass instead of red, but it came out inconsistent, probably because of the different coloured lights in the scene.  definitely still some fine-tuning to do on my dielectric settings!
