the logo isn't looking to bad, but that background looks no good to me :-\ I think some of the reds might be to saturated as well.


here's an interesting reference for 'bling' looking paint: (referring to the blue paint, not the emblem)

yeah getting all that flake in there wasn't easy... had to push it out of a material select and grade it to screen onto the bg itself again. <3 nuke.


agreed with the reds, i'll drop them a touch.

it still missed depth,

i'd rotate the flag things a bit more towards the camera (the outer parts more towards camera), bring the center part a tad forward. and put some shadows on it.

Then the reflection is too egal, you need a typical horizon reflection in it, like the cheesy oldschool chromé airbrush ones but then better. -

you read my mind.


a touch of depth added, a bit a grain. i had that faked horizon line but i didnt like it as much.


i'd say i'm just about to put this thing to bed, kajico; let me know if this works.

jesus bolts, didn't mean for you to run with it so much. Really appreciate it. I'll send it off to the guy see what he thinks. The only problem is if he goes with it I have to animate it and render it and I don't think i'll be getting much from this project to pay you for all your help :/

you animate the thing, i'll just render it out... took half a day to really make it shine.

i'll send you the file, you'll need max2008, vray and nuke to open it but you can learn from it if you please.


and you dont owe me jack shit. just credit me a name as helper and were all good.

that blown out yellow at the top looks nasty.

you need to find a way to more gracefully clip it.

edit - the way it goes green as the induvidual channel clip is what is ruining it - try to keep it more golden hued as it goes to white.

edit2:

kinda like this:

is there a way to compensate for the optical illusion caused by the dark frame of the flag that makes the dark cheque look irregular?
not sure i explained that too well- the black and white on the flags look weird is what i mean
cool to see people flex their creative muscles and show different interpretations on the same project though
