Pixel Joint Forum: WIP: Desk

Message

   I have two small pieces of WIP which I'm thinking of putting together on a desk.

I am tried AAing the lava lamp but I just end up making the chamber look wobbly instead of straight (or it looks like it has gaps).

The book I need to know how to AA the text properly.

Any extra advice on shading etc. is much welcome (also the scaling, I'm afraid my book might be huge but I can't tell because I suck haha).

Thanks in advance.

	a desk...with only 2 things on it. Get something else in there like...a laptop or maybe a opened binder -the book is a tad big for the size of the lamp Edited by volcom - 01 September 2007 at 11:46am

	lol.. I didn't say there was only going yo be two things on it... I just want to get the lamp and the book right before I move onto anything else. Edit: Also here is the 2nd version of the book. Edited by Gelsamel - 01 September 2007 at 6:08pm

	You will experience difficulty if you attempt to put these pieces together in a single work as you will be mixing perspectives, or rather, mixing projections, by which I mean that the lamp is rendered in a standard perspective projection, whereas the book is not. If it were, the end furthest from the viewer would get narrower; whence a vanishing point. There's nothing at all wrong with using unrealistic perspectives in art, (the isometric projection--"iso"--is very common in pixel art) but when you mix them with a realistic perspective it can become a big mess.

	I was actually going for oblique projection on both :S. I might have screwed up the lamp though. Edit: Yeah when I put the lamp right next to the book it almost looks like the lamp is leaning, is there a quick an easy way to fix this or should I just remake it or use something else? How do I do stuff with circular bases oblique - I though it shouldn't matter because it's circular.. :S. Edit2: Sorta fixed the shading a bit - but I didn't change it's perspective because I don't have any idea how or if it's even worth it. If I can't then I might just remake it or make up a different item for the desk and have this as just a single piece. Edited by Gelsamel - 01 September 2007 at 7:34pm
