Wood doesn't tend to have such strong variation in colour, the texturing is more subtle. Try using some of those darker colours for shadows instead of texture.Yes you are right. thank
Also, are you sure a wooden lamp is a good idea? Seems like it'd catch on fire, or at least get charred and brittle after a few months. A wooden post might be fine, but perhaps the top part should be stone or metal?
In Graphicsgale, if you change the colour palette to 256 colours, the palette will only show the colours that are used. You can then save the palette. Hope that helps!OK, thanks!
Dude, I am out for holidays but I can color-reduce it after when I get to my PC.
Meanwhile, you can try to take the colors that are most close to each other and merge them into one intermediary color. Do it a few times until every color is different enough from the others.
I remember the piece you posted, and it looked alright regarding color balance. Just cut out too similar colors.
You can reduce the color count like this in gimp or photoshop and tweak it manually after: http://www.mapwel.net/manual/2150colorreduction.htmThank you very much!
here is yours reduced to 16 colors:
Try focusing more on the wood grain. In the posts, the grain is going to be vertical. I based this edit on the idea that the posts were small logs. On the bars of the fence, the grain will be more horizontal. Wood has a pattern to it, not just a texture - follow the lines of the grain.Thank you very much!
Also consider your light source. The fence is going to have more light on the top bars and less near the bottom. The heavy top outline makes it feel off.
