Feedback on low poly rainforest

I wanna see what everyone thinks about my rainforest so far, I just started building animals and wanna start including them to my builds as well. I tried to nail down the nature of the rainforest but I wanna see what the rainforest really needs provided so it’ll look like a realistic rainforest. So far, any thoughts or suggestions? It’ll be great if you can give me any ideas for the empty spaces too!

It looks good so far.
But try to do the shadow more bright because of the light.
So it would look more realistc.

At this point I wouldn’t call it a rainforest yet. You need a lot more trees for that. Right now it’s just a forest.

I would suggest lowering the colorcorrection a tad bit, and a few more trees would be nice as well.

I think the updated version of your “Rainforest” looks really good, i like how your still improving it some more as well i can see you, really took advice the first version of your forest. Looked great it just needed some improvements to it, and i see you are really putting! In a lot of time/effort to make your forest look a lot more realistic and very detailed. And now there’s really isn’t much else I can say! I would recommend you add some more grass, ferns, trees, mosses, implemented onto the rocks just to give it a. More natural look to your forest that’s mostly needed!!

Low Poly Rainforest
So i really like your forest, and you are really doing a decent job on it. However there is a couple of things still needed to make your forest! Look a lot more realistic overall most (Rainforest) needs a bunch of vegetation because it’s a forest and that’s mostly needed however i would recommend you add some more trees, vines, smaller trees, palms, cacti, ferns, orchids, ect. Those are mostly needed in rainforest because that’s. Where all the different kinds of vegetation are implemented there so, i would recommend you try doing, something like that and if your going for a realistic feel i would! Suggest you add some more plants such. As Heliconia Flower, Cacao, Giant Water Lilies, Coffee Plant, Monkey Brush Vine, as you would see those in, most (Rainforest) all over the place but to make. Your forest look a lot more realistic. I would just add a lot of grass, vines, trees, rainforest leaves, rubber tree, just to give it a more natural look to it. However if you plan on adding those i would, go for it as it would make your forest stand, out a lot more but make sure you don’t go! Overboard with the plants as you would see that, a bunch of plants are always implemented, in forest even the ones in “Real Life” you will mostly. See the plants i listed above depending on what kind of forest, it is however those are some i would! Recommend you add to your (Rainforest) so it could look like a nature map!!

Rainforest Vegetation
Know i mostly listed some of the (Plants) that’s in rainforest however, only if you plan on making a bunch of different plants it would make. Your (Low Poly Forest) stand out a lot more overall i would recommend! You add some Passion Fruit Flower, Bromeliads, Giant Water Lilies, Banana Tree, Rattan Palm, Bromeliads, Vanilla Orchid, Tall Weeds, Bucket Orchid, ect. Those are some nature plants you could try implementing. Into your forest so it could look more realistic as you could always, look at real life forest you’ll see that the, vegetation it includes is a lot of different kind of plants. But you would mostly see moss on! Some rocks, trees, and others but if you really want to get. A realistic forest i would try doing, something like that so it could look more perfect and! Stand out more as you can see below, this is what a lot of (Rainforest) look like in real life! You could always look at images to see the, details it has.

Reference

Details
Know you have really improved your, (Forest) a lot more and i see you are trying to. Nail the (Rainforest) look however it just needs the details that’s! In a lot of forest in real life, you could always use a couple of details to look more better, as i said above you could add some vines, taller trees, flowers, thorn bush, moss, tall weeds, ect. With those vegetation plants, implemented to your forest i know it. Would look very amazing and decent overall, keep on putting work into your (Rainforest) and it would look realistic. In no time however as i said above only if you plan on, adding more plants i would go far it so it could. Look a lot more better!!

Vegetation

  • Grass, Moss, Tall Weeds, Thorn Bushes, Rainforest Leaves,
  • Small Trees, Tall Trees, Passion Fruit Flower, Bromeliads & Giant Water Lilies,
  • Banana Tree, Rattan Palm, Bromeliads, Vanilla Orchid, Poison Ivy,
  • Palms, Cacti, Ferns, Orchids, Buttress Roots, Strangler Fig & Epiphytes
  • Cacao, Passion Flower, Poinsettia, Murumuru Palm Tree, Pitcher Plant

Anyways, you are doing a impressive job on your “Rainforest” the vegetation i listed above is most needed so it could, look more better and detailed. However i know your trying to go for a realistic look with the details i listed, above it will really help improve your! (Low Poly Forest) however great job and i can’t wait to. See the final product of the Rainforest very soon, keep on adding more vegetation and plants and! Your forest will stand out a lot. More overall, great job!

Hey @CarloBloxDev !

Your rainforest looks great do far, but some things need to be fixed/added.

• Animals,

I know you said you’ve started building them in your post, but I’ll give you a few examples of what animals should be there. A rain forest has many animals, some include; deer, frogs, snakes etc.
Something creative is you could make a deer drinking water from a lake, frogs on lily pads catching a fly and snakes hanging of a tree!

this would be a key detail for your rain forest to look realistic

• Lakes/ponds,

a rainforest has many lakes and ponds in them, like this one;

based of the 3 pictures your showed, I don’t see any lakes or ponds. This would be a necessary detail to make your rain forest, well, look like a rainforest!

• Lightning,

the lighting, especially the second picture

image

looks too bright, that’s gonna cost you a lot of you don’t fix it!

• Trees,

like a few have said more trees, but also, it’s hard to tell because of the lighting, but all the trees look the same,

give them so detail so they look different from the rest.

• Main decor,

what I mean by this is like, tent sand a campfire somewhere, you know, stuff you would see when you go camping.

Camping sites aren’t very important, but they would show you paid a lot of attention to detail and tou took your time on tour work, but any decor that you would see that’s something we humans do, or decor that’s rare to see too! Let your imagination run free!!

• More pictures,

I would love to see more pictures or a game link so I can give a more in-depth response!

• Flowers,

the flowers look the same, and its only cramped in one spot,

I suggest atleast giving each flower a different color if you don’t feel like making new flowers! Spreading the flowers out and making new ones would also show you pay attention to small details, which people would like you build work for!

Well, that’s all I have for now! Hopefully my response has helped you out!

Saturation might be a bit high, I’d fix the shadows.

It’s pretty good, just make the lights less bright.

They look very good, the light is too shiny though. Try to include some object/animals in the surrounding.

This “rainforest” so far look pretty good, i think most of the things are already added such as flowers, the grass also looks pretty great and the rocks are good.
For the lighting, it looks good but not great, you may want to check the shadow once again so it could be as realistic as possible, the light is pretty well made, and the animals are gonna be a great addition to your “rainforest” for sure. Keep up the great work ! :slight_smile:

Opinion

It looks amazing! I like the vision of your low poly Rainforest it looks amazing and the mesh looks unique which blends in with the look of the Rainforest. I love that you have added a caterpillar and a bird (If I’m not mistaken) because It shows the natural of the living animals. It gives us a imagination in the real world. A very clean idea to showcase. The sun view is looking amazing which I really like that you shown the sunshine in the Rainforest for the extra effect.
The placements are amazing of the tree because it they was possible in the way than the view of the picture would not be clear even in-game.


Suggestions

  • If you desire you could remove the lights that are on the 2 trees.
  • You could change the direction of where the bird is facing (If you desire to).
  • You could possible add a little river to show the natural habit.

I would say for this one that the view looks amazing but I would say the sun gets a bit in the view of to much sunshine (If you desire to lower it down).

For this one I would say you could possible add more animals in the Rainforest to show a bit realistic and more detailed.

Overall Good job I like it! I hope the feedback helped.
Good luck! :+1:

The lighting is really saturated. Bring down the saturation by like, a lot. :slight_smile:

I know I am a bit late to this post but nonetheless, there need to be some improvements graphics wise. You need to have variation in the trees and you need to make the trunks of the trees more natural. Having them poke straight up just doesn’t make it feel real and doesn’t give it any environment to it.


Now obviously I don’t have the materials mapped out yet but this just makes it feel more real and definitely fits the tree category a bit better. I learned this from a method here: low poly tree | Blender | quick - YouTube

He gives a very good guide and shows you the whole process. Like i said you need more variation in the trees so make 5-6 models of different trees (which includes different leave layouts too) so it makes things feel better.

Secondly, the grass needs to have more variation as well. They seem to look like they were placed in chunks and they all lean the same way. Make sure you turn the grass pieces around in a single model so it doesn’t look fake like this.

The lights are a good addition so keep those if you do decide to take any of my suggestions into consideration.

You are on the right path, it just needs that variation that I have said about 20 times and you think I am annoying now for saying it.

Firstly i think the lighting could be better, maybe try adding a pond or a river to give it that feeling of a rainforest. I also thing the yellow flowers don’t really fit in with it. Apart from that it looks great! Keep up the good work!

The saturation is too much for me, but other than that the building is pretty good.

I would say that some of the trees need to have that “rooty” feeling. Normally trees in the rainforest have roots that wrap around other trees and poke above the ground and sometimes into the water.

Speaking onto graphics, the sky paired with the high saturation and heavy sunrays makes the place burned out. I would suggest a low negative saturation and pair that with your contrast and see how things look from there.

The graphics overall are amazing, except I feel like the lighting is a bit heavy. It almost seems blinding in my opinion. And in terms of the last picture, it seems like the darkness is a bit much.

I would lessen the effects in each of those images as I feel like its a much.
