Island wip

I think that sounds worlds better.

I want to say the island is not that bad. I like the idea. The size of the water texture decides the scale of the water. If you increase it you can gett the water to a good scale. One thing that would be a good idea is a texture map for the island itself. Your using a what looks like a preset and you can but landforms aren’t always that even. You need some rock and some different grasses on the island and maybe a beach around it. This is important. Those smaller sections could probably do with a seperation from the island itself. Erosion would probably make that seperation. You could put in a bridge or something to connect them.

A note on the water if you use a little blue it will look more like a tropical island.

Thx for all the comments, i wil work on it

i made a water texture with photoshop, and scaled down the mesh of the water. i think it looks better, but still no match for the one m@dcow posted…

Well, we can’t all be madcow. I have not done much water, but I have a couple of suggestions. 1: give the water layer a transparency, and duplicate it a couple of times putting each layer beneath the next, and 2, put a moon in the sky. I don’t know how good my water trick is, but maybe madcow will have some input. I would surely like to hear any advice he may have.

Ok, 2 questions…

How the hell do i make a moon(maybe a tutorial)
How do i change the background, because i´m going to make my own stars.

For the moon:
Download the moon texture

Make a sphere and use the texture as image map.
Placing and lighting, that’s it.

For the background:
In world buttons use an image texture (paper-button, Hori, ZenUp)
Google for some background pics if you don’t have one or don’t want to make one.

i think that could be also a green lump swimming on the water. :smiley:
more detail on the island would help you.
the water looks a little bit flat. is there a bump map on it?
try to use a cloud texture, subdivide your plane in small pieces, go in edit mode, select all vertices and press the noise button. so you get a nice ripple-effect.

@intrr
i think its wrong to post your work in this thread?

I think its wrong for Intrr and M@dcow to post their work in this thread. I always get very mad when someone does that to me.

Hey intrr, your stuff looks fantastic. No kidding. :slight_smile:
But desoto’s right, you have no right to put your stuff in other people’s threads. It makes them feel bad. :expressionless: And scorpy, the island is pretty good. :smiley:

STOP POKING ME!
just kidding. 8)

i think it needs some serious mist-

@ lemmy: THX

@ the others: Well, it still is wip. And i don´t work much more than an hour a day on it, so it could very well be that it looks like a green lump in water. I´m just wondering how i would get the material of the beach and the material of the inner land to blend together. otherwise i get a real bad jaggy edge arund the beach.
