The_Jeppoz Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 First of all gotta state i'm not that great fun of abstract, however i can rate it according to my personal taste plus comparison to other abstracs of that kind i saw around. The render is a bit 2 dark and way 2 "brycy" with those aliasing probs i myself hate in my bryce works on metal reflections...The main problem is the linework...it's way 2 heavy. Overall it gives a sort of plastic wrap over it that lowers the brillancy a lot and totaly counters the high-tech effect you were trying to give with the foreground big brushsets and the text. With such a faded out bg those foreground stuff catches most of the viewer attention but being a bit pointless (i mean there's no real message coming from them, if u get what i mean) the overall result, at least IMO isn't that great. I'd also add that wallpaper doesn't work the top with Windows xp due to the start bar that wipes out some text. 6.5/10 but fixing something it could realy turn into something very nice...at least according to my taste Keep it up !!!

Thanks for the comments and I understand what you mean about the linework, altho it looks better with it then without it. I know the text gets covered up, but I didnt expect anyone to be using it really. Hopefully I can fix my mistakes on my next peice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(as often appens in bryce when u keep saying...well but the uberslow antialiasing will fix this and that...yes...must be for sure...meeeeeh!!!) that you were almost forced to cover that way. p00p happens :D I personaly think bryce works great if u make a render 4 times bigger than desired dimension lol (for example on sigs) if u use the metal, spheric surfaced reflections.

forsaken Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 hm, lets see, save it with better quality next time. the bg is as said by jeppoz, too dark, and id like to add that there isn't a real focal point. the 2d is a bit random and doesn't fit in, because usually the 2d revolves around the focal point, whereas you don't really have one. and with the 2d your going for, its one of those ' fill up the whole bg with it, or don't do it at all ' ones, because it just doesn't look good elsewise, the font doesn't really fit in either i reckon. I know there are good points in your work - just that im prone to be very negative. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since abstract represents something to the creator they name it by what the peice means to them. I named it this on purpose, maybe if you would think about it their is a link to the meaning of the word ENDOMORPHIC and the wallpaper. This name is original.... Give me an example of a name thats normal and original. :roll: Please explain to me how the name isnt original. I have never seen it used before...

RoyalFlush Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Well, to start off its very plain. No focal point, no flow, no real eye-catcher. The quality also seems to be very poor. Very pixel-ish. The linework is way to big, also to defining. Needs to be lowered (opacity)a whole lot and also made smaller. The bryce peice itself is very dark, if it were brighter that would make it better. Also, its very unoriginal. Not that thats a bad thing :wink: 6/10. If it isn't in your veins, you'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
