[WIP] Street scene with dude smoking..

on: April 27, 2012, 10:04:11 pm

Hello everybody.

I've been working on this in my spare time the last week. Don't really have a plan for it other than experimenting with 4-color pixelling and readability. It would be great to get some general feedback on it before I go on. Especially the dithering and "noise" texture. Not sure if I like those bits but I need some kind of transition from light to dark. Ideas?

The color is okay but the color of man mixing with the color of surround. Other wise all things  is best!!! :y:
Maybe giving the man a shadow would help ...

That is an incredible edit!! So much to learn from this! I'll be back with a new version after I wrap my head around all the things you did.

Thanks a lot man :D

Holy!..
that is some example!
I'm impressed by the smoking animation for sure; but the edit, which is just an example from Ramenshop, is insane.

Amazing edit. It's been about 40min since I first saw it, and still coming to terms with the impact.

You know you've submitted a good edit when you traumatize the users.

You've submitted a good edit!




. . . ok, ErekT, let's see it!

@ smoking animation:
just one drawback: the smoker would not be able to expell smoke that far. At half the distance, its "natural" move up will be the major movement and the move forward will have almost come to a stop. (it's decelerating horizontally and accelerating vertically).

Yes..

A little wip update. It's hard for me to avoid leaning heavily on the edit in places, but I feel I've managed to internalize quite a bit.

Thanks so much RAMENSHOP for the excellent edit! You're a hero :D

@PypeBros: Thanks, will fix ;)
