Yes, i Agree on both here as well.
Previously SC2 was an upgraded SC1, in which people also showed some awesome art (WIP art however), think about Frank, Andvari and Fuxerz.
With the new naming conventions i think Gallery could also show off early WIP, thus meaning showcase has become obsolete?

i vote for renaming them back to the old way (Showcase I and Showcase II), there has been a change to the names before (from showcase to a split up) to seperate better and finished projects from the wip's, i wouldnt see why changing this back again, makes this thread more valuable (besides polluting this with WIPS that just look good).

@ topic, yes, looks good for a beginning, but add shadows, some variation in the environment (rocks, mushrooms, small animals).
And remove the Palm trees, Pinetrees and Palmtrees dont live together as far as i know (outside the X-mas season that is).
EDIT: the ground is way too repetetive and scaled too big imho too, add some variation. use a multi-texture shader, and make a difference between grass and sand soil! that would be a great start (makes sure there is no stretching that way as well ).

good luck!

regards,

im sorry i didnt know that "gallery" was meant for finished projects. i went under the assumption that sc1 and gallery were one in the same.

were terribly sorry if our mistake has upset anyone.

The screenshots do look good, they create a nice atmosphere but you mixed a lot of plants there which do not fit together that well (from a realistic perspectiv).

On a side note:
"gallery" is meant for professional gamestudio projects.


Well if the mods choose to let this topic stay here its all good I guess

eerm, i remember i lately read that the sc1 and sc2 thingy is no more. Gallery for pics, and projects for projects or something like that.

sc1 sc2 system was better i think

Don't be too picky, and read the whole sticky! (Sorry for the bad lyrics! )

Well I'm sorry that I drove this thread further away off-topic so this may be my last response to it.

@Pappenheimer: I read the whole sticky and while its mostly a bit strict, the sentence you quoted makes the whole sticky a very interpretable thing.
Who does not think that his screens look great?

Oh and I didn't want to sound picky, sorry if I did.

Well, we'll always have controversy here as long as nothing remains on a solid foundation.

Why Conitec is obsessed with making changes just to make changes is beyond me.

Bring back Showcase 1 and 2.

sc1 and sc2 was better.

so you guys understand(lol)

var sc1 = WIP;
var sc2 = PUBLISHED;
var no_controversy;
var gallery;
var projects;
var forum

FUNCION forum()
{
sc1 + sc2 = no_controversy
if (gallery != WIP)
{
forum != no_controversy;
}
wait(1)//

if (gallery != PUBLISHED)
{
forum != no_controversy;
}
}

if that were a real script the engine would scream at me! lol
EDIT: and the palm trees are in a different region of the land

You forgot to put a semi colon after forum :P.

Anyways, great work, I see you find the whole mystymood compilation useful. And good taste of colour there. Anyways, not just the palm trees, but a lot of the different types of trees just don't go well together. I would keep it more consistent.

Good start you have there, keep it up!

Well I think its fits here, it looks good and thats what a gallery is for
Sure, lots of technical stuff can be pointed out but it still looks good
