My Attempts at Better Lighting

[TheJeweledWolf 595]

Well, I was recently told to go look at lighting turtorials. Here are my attempts...

The first, I'm naming "Willowbrook Cottage" (After the schematic I used)

Spoiler

And the second I've named "Stargazing"

Spoiler

So yeah, constructive critsim welcome, just don't be rude about it!

Spoiler

I used an HD skin from somewhere on the internet, a night sky picture from Google, and finally the schematic called "Willowbrook Cottage" from planetminecraft

Also, I know the blur was... ehhh... on the Cottage picture. I couldn't get it perfect.

Um... thanks I guess?

And stop being immature, it was just the HD skin I found online. I wasn't LOOKING for a werewolf. (I also vaguely know the term 'furries' but I don't understand what the point in it is)

Yeesh, the replies to this post...

 

Anyways. Here's some feedback.

The first image would benefit from brighter sunlight and less intense ambient occlusion, as the artifacts alongside edges become very obvious and it tends to look bad, especially on the roof. As for the depth of field, it doesn't look too bad, but I would've increased the blur radius. (Though this might worsen the issue of foreground blur not affecting edges.)

As for the second image, it's just too bright considering it's supposed to be a night ambiance. You should find references to figure out a good way of picking colors.

The one with the house looks really nice.. but..

you can see the edge of the map..

or is that intentional..

 I cant do lighting like this at all lol, I would say to make the night one a bit darker but other than that im impressed

The 2nd image clashes with the textures... and the lighting is basically high resolution default lighting except with blueish SSAO...

Looks pretty good! I'd say maybe taking advantage of using multiple light sources and playing around with the ambient or sunlight/night lighting colors. Otherwise I hope to see more

It was kind of intentional. (Aka, I didn't really care to add backround to the schematic. I figured since I was only attempting better lighting it would be fine XD)

 

As for anyone else who gave feedback, thanks! I'll try to get better. I do agree the night wallpaper had a clash of textures and was a bit bright, I'll work on in.

I'm not quite sure what you meant.

Those ears are so 2D that they're more 2D than windows 10's interface

You can find tons of great photos of night scenes, this can help you get inspired and figure out how to light things up in your scene.

True, maybe I'll look for some.
