Procedural Textures

[lickymcfool]

I textured this cornocopia scene, using only procedural textures. What do you think i could do to make it photo real?

Photo-realistic is all well and good, but you've got a nice kind of painting look going. Maybe work on both.

BTW, the cornucopia looks metallic. It should be woven, like a basket.

Paulk,

... no he's got the right idea there with the horn. (I like the painterly look too but it needs more "painterly" light ... see the link below)

- "Cornucopia" comes from the Latin cornu copiae meaning "horn of plenty". Before it became a theme in 17th C painting and more recemtly food, the horn would have been that of a Goat.

So, metal and weaving are OK, but weaving is late, much later since no horns are woven and the idea is now simply that of a well presented abundance, or a feast; hence baskets!

You have a very cool style developing there, I would keep going and see what you end up with :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


Maybe some weightmaps to limit textures to certain parts, at the moment it has the same overall look...but that's just a guess.

:D
