Thank you  very much Decroded for good tips!

Im now very depressed because of my tree.. I really dont know how the fix the ugly flatness...

I don't see flatness in the part that are polished.

Yeah the grass colors is bright and the tree is dark...Does it fit?

not a problem, imho. Different plants may absorb same light with different efficience.

Also Tree trunk is placeholder--

I do have a crush on the trunk, but it looks like it has two curious shiny green eyes just under the canopy. rational half-brain pretends its just because trunk is very slim with curvy roots in the back, but creative half-brain doesn't listen

Hi again.


In my last level, I've got a place which should read as "a student's desk", the kind where you had some storage room under the desk which you could be tempted to use to hide things from your professors. I'm trying to give it a somewhat more "intimate" look than the rest of the level but it doesn't really work to my eyes. I'm trying some wooden texture to replace the current "plain color" scheme, but most of the items I think of to fill the gaps would rather be front-plane (e.g. they get too much attention).
Any opinion so far ?

(PS: the plain-white triangle is a level-editor artefact)

edit:


throwing some ideas... replacing vertical supports by twisted wooden structure (~15 blocks needed)
a paper note laying on the desk (~12 blocks)
texture (min 6 blocks)
a folder in the back (10 blocks for the corners)
I should have enough VRAM for all this ... and possibly some spare tiles to revamp the other bonus room.

You applied shading with a light source (good  ) but then each part of the robot is shaded equally, and no part casts shadow onto others, just as if your robot was a set of pearls laid on a table.

the sun looks completely out of place (not to mention incompatible with your current shadow style)
