i agree but i didnt want to add blur to it as it would increase my render time maybe ill add it in postI agree with dave...looks good but the balloon, in particular the basket looks a little too sharp mate.
the moment i posted it i realized the envelop looked weird i just needed some fresh eyes ill remodel the envelop but i dont think ill be changing the basket sizeFirst up, look at some balloon references, your balloon is too squat. Look here for some reference images. The basket is also a bit too small.
dont know yet but its supposed to be floating around in some famous areasWhats the animation going to be Murambi?
ill do that lastMake occlusion map... or i just don't see it. : )
this was a basic texture test i tried using a bump map but apparently its not visible at that distancethe lighting looks blown out and the material on the balloon just looks like a simple blinn. you could try adding some noise like a bump map or something. Also the specular highlight doesnt seem to effect the logo. are you thinking of doing some cloth to make it ripple a bit? do they ripple in the wind? i'm not sure. also are you rendering in linear? the backplate looks a lot brighter in the second image. Whats with the crazy resolution size btw?
