So how do I make it better?

>>508372

Learn lighting, color theory, and most importantly composition.

>>508369
Hardly seems like a lucrative buissnes model OP, so my question to you would be : Why ?

>>508469
Just for fun.

it's ok but it looks generic

i'd suggest reading up on some art theory, like the other anon said, and work towards something more original

How's this ?

Oh my goodness, I'm really pushing these graphics to their limits here.

What do you guys think about this composition ?

>>508601

Instead of being a cunt, you could offer him some lighting and shader tips. Well, someone could. I doubt you actually know anything that would be useful.

>>508369

What software are you using ?

>>508619

I wasn't being a cunt intentionally. I was just messing around with some models I found. Thought I'd make some interesting poses.

it is profitable if you gid gud'. also is fun to experiment with stuff that no one have done before.

As said in the title, i use blender3D.

Here is a cool tutorial I found for making abstract backgrounds. They primarily use particles in blender.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2G5Y1Ezy8g

Particles has great potential when it comes to making abstract art, and they're incredibly fun to use. They are also a great tool to know for 3d art in general (starfields, dust particles, rain ,grass/hair, etc.)

This tutorial also includes some basic animation, and will show you how to use text, particle effects, basic lighting and a little physics to achieve a small intro movie. While it's not exactly what you're looking for, it will introduce you to various tools that will help you make better backgrounds. Heck you might even like to start making some intro movies yourself.

Also follow the links to the related videos for more of the same. I think once you've got lighting and the above mentioned tools down you'll be on your way to making some great backgrounds OP.

I'll be looking forward to see how you progress OP. So be sure to come back and show us what you've come up with.

Forgot to add links to the second video. Here they are:

Thanks. I will try soon and post my outcomes.

I used one of the videos to make this. The background could use some improvement but oher than that I hope its better.

not blender but using this thread to post my first 3d environment (yes I'm a noob)

>>508846

Nice depth of field there. Are those particles emitters ? Yeah I think it's looking better.

I was thinking maybe you could even use the mesh you used in the original background and use it as a particle emitter. make it invisible. let all the particles emit at frame 1 Emit in volume. give them some luminosity. Then you've got a nice pattern to your particles.

Just a thought. But good work you've learned some new tools that you can use.

>>508893

Not bad for a first scene. What software ?

>>508937
I used a sphere as the emitter and a path with a curve guide modifier.

>>508938

sorry, what i mean to ask was, are your particles emitting light ?

But kudos, I like the curve path effect :)

>>508946
Thanks and yes. I used the emmission shader in cycles and focused the camera on the hidden emitter of the particles. But to get the clouds I had to use a crapton of samples, something around 2500.

thanks for the inspiration bro

>>509475
Damn this looks nice. Did you use the fibonacci sequence for the curve? And any ideas on how to change the color of the particles based on their position on the curve?

I did aim to make it similar to the fibonacci spiral but didn't use any proper calculation. I just did it by eye.

Turns out you can change the particles colour based on position just had to render with cycles and set up a colour ramp and sample that based on position.

Here's the node setup.

The (sub&sub)->div is set up according to the formula x-a/b-a
where x is our x value taken from object location
a is the min x value, here the curve starts at a world location with 5 as the x value so we use 5 for a
b is the max x value, here there curve ends at 30

This should give us a range of 0-1 for values that are between 5 and 30. That value is then plugged into the colour ramp effectively giving us a smooth transition from a black at the start of the curve and a white at the end of the curve.

That explanation probably wasn't necessary but as you can see it's 8 am and I've been up all night. I'm gonna go sleep.

>>508369
Does blender have a Depth of Field Blur with Bokeh effects? If yes than use it! Normal Blur always looks cheap/ugly.

>>509511
I don't know. I used the camera focus.

>>509497
Thanks. I'll try and post results.

I made it a rainbow and used a side view of a stretched fibonacci spiral. Hope you like it.

>>509565
Also, OP here posting from PC.

>>508937
I used Maya

>>509565
That's really nice, good job. I'm glad my tutorial could help.

>>508893
awesome work man, noob or not, loving the work, it's inspiring.

I really like the direction this thread has taken since I last checked in, nice work guys :)

>>509475

Dude those particles are awesome, how did you do it ?

Just found out about this yesterday, haven't given it a shot yet and probably won't for another weekend.

Nice dude. Can you make one with a blue flame ?
