Just Philip

I was messing around with the new lightsaber rig I made and I wanted to see if I could give it the same kind of lighting a lightsaber would have
I made two test renders. In my honest opinion, they're both garbage, especially the super dark blue one.

1st Test render

2nd Test render

Anyway that's all. No need to upvote this at all. It's literally just a test. Feel free to downvote it though if you dislike it in any way.

Edit: I didn't know where to put a test wallpaper, so if this isn't the correct place, please tell me or have an admin move it.

It looks like all you did was add a filter to it. You didn't fix the posing or anything.

The expression is kinda emotionless, you should move the head some, and then have the eyes follow.

You could experiment with some camera angles too.

That's all I have.

1. I added a filter to make it more "grungy" as Phyre put it. It doesn't have better posing because it didn't need it. 

2. The reason the expression is emotionless is because Im using Hoqz pixel face rig, so even if I moved the head a bit, it would still look emotionless. 

3. The reason it doesn't have a better camera angle is because if I moved the camera in any other direction, you could see the world edge and where the schematic for the scene stops.

It was late at night, and I don't feel like fixing it again. If it isn't good, then so be it. I already tried to re-work it, I'm not doing it again.

I reworked the render I made last night and made another one with it.

I wasn't sure if I should make a new topic or status post, so I just did a topic post in hope it wasn't the wrong thing to do. 
Tbh the render still probably looks bad.
I was listening to this song while making it

I'd recommend playing with the lighting colors

Okay. Thanks for the suggestions! It really helps me out later!

Not perfect, just made in like 1 minute but something more "grungy" I guess, could be brighter but too lazy to change 

Alright. Anything else I should add or try to work on when I re-work on this when I wake up?

I feel like a lot more could be done with the lighting and cinematography type stuff, maybe making the image have some sort of color correction to look more war-like colors wise, and having a better camera angle

Maybe an example of what you mean by war-like colors? Also, like I said, I'm not very good at lighting, and I doubt I ever will be, so I doubt this will have good lighting when I re-work on it.

I only want to complain about one thing:

the eyes appear crossed and a bit out of focus. try moving them apart and downwards, like he/she is looking at the road. if you know what I mean... 

I'll fix it in the morning. It's only something small. 

I know it ain't the best render or lighting, but I had fun making it, so I don't really care if the lighting is bad or if the render is bad.

it doesn't have what im looking for. im talking about the DP-28, not the lewis.

This thing. Was hoping someone could make it into a rig.

Nice spam. Next time, put all of your videos into one topic instead of multiple.

I didn’t make this for attention.

And that proves my point further. You didn't make this for attention, you made this because you didn't think that expressing how you were feeling publicly was a good idea so you made renders instead. Like I said before, people have different ways of expressing how they feel, and I don't think you were looking for attention while doing this.

This convo looks like the beginning of a forum wars, let's stop here lads

Jut saw that. My bad.

Honestly, I wouldn't have posted these. Using things like depression and anxiety vent stuff to get rep or attention still really pisses me off. 

Just let the man post what he wants. I don't see a problem with posting something that's like venting or something sad every now and then. I feel like it's a change to what some people post. He may have been having a rough time when he made these, but that doesn't mean he was looking for attention. He said he made them because he wanted to let his emotions out. Some people have different ways of letting their emotions out, and he thought it was best to make renders rather than him let them out as a status update. 

Edit while I was typing this: you said you were going to bed so me writing this was a waste of time. oh well. goodnight then.

Edit#2: also didn't realize what else you said before you said you were going to bed. just ignore this.

Damn. The more I look at this, the more I can see how it actually makes sense. Hope you're doing okay man.

Never said it was bad. I said it’s a bad IDEA to leave no context for the first part. I expected something long, like how he usually make them. But instead, I see a 3 paged “comic” that looks rushed. No effort whatsoever. If you actually took classes related to film making or making something else like comics or animation you’d see the problem with this.

Don't have to be so harsh about it though. It's only the beginning of the comic series. I know it ain't my work, but like I said, give it time.

Then you’ve lost my interest and possibly other’s interests. Shortass comic with no context to the story at first site is a bad idea.

Sheesh. Don't judge a book by it's cover. This could turn out to be a really good comic series later in life. Don't instantly think something is gonna be bad because the first few pages of the comic are short and don't give context. Just give it time.

I understand you're joking, but I beg your pardon?

this looks kinda lazy tbh.

If it's because of lighting or the fact it doesn't have edge glow, I'm not good at any of that. I don't really properly make renders or rigs. I kinda half-ass a lot of the stuff I post. I don't really ever think my rigs or renders to be good for people to like my renders or use my rigs. I have fun and enjoy making content like this, even when it doesn't look good. I don't care about getting upvotes/downvotes. At the end of the day, I'm just happy with what I made and that I had the motivation to work on something!

That would literally be stealing hozq's render, which I obviously didn't do.

I highly suggest we drop this before it turns into an argument. I don't like seeing other people fight over something as small as this.

for the 3rd time, there was no inspiration.

Sheesh. Okay okay. Sorry for thinking the render was cool because I thought you took inspiration.

Inspiration from Hozq (Hopefully the correct person) I see. I like it.

Please credit me when you use this rig as it would help me to see what kind of cool creations you use this shotgun for!
(Please DM me if anything glitches or if there's any missing textures so I can fix the issue right away.)

(Edit: The Barrel is too long. The barrel is cut into sections so you can cut it down to the size you prefer!)

Mostly what Ghatos said.

The water is too dark for such a sun to be shining over it.

I know. Like I said, I got lazy while making it.
