hi I’m trying to tackle icicles. im trying to go from toonish to realism. this is a really rough render of what ive accomplished in the last 3 hours. so far it looks like crap when i render it, but it looks great in blender…
[ATTACH]6477[/ATTACH]criticisms? complaints? pie?
Pretty good start. To make them look more like icicles I recommend randomising the lengths a fair bit, make some wider than others, et cetera. You said it looks good in Blender, so try posting a screenshot of what it looks like in it.

PS. Sorry, no pie.
As stated, more randomness in the ice, and perhaps a better texture on the sign, it kinda looks streched to me. BUT, as for pi well enjoy

oh… pie… ummmm… did you check your freezer lately?
Try changing the text to, WELCOME TO HELL. Maybe add some ice ontop of the sign.
Cold day in hell?
I thought that day would never come 
thanks for the advice. i just woke up and i’ll have improvements posted later. the streched texture was supposed to be sleet or frost… i don’t know i’m from houston:D . I’ve only seen snow once and it was two in. thick. anywho, i get your point… i’ll try something else for it. oh, and by the way, how do you take screenshots in blender? im still noobish and i never bothered to find out how. THANKS FOR THE PIE
you can either use print screen on your keyboard and paste it into an image program, or you can press the button the the bottom right of the 3d view window, it looks like a grayscale mountain with a sun. This will render the window-not the same as pressing f12.
