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. ~Gelsamel |

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

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, ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection - the isometric projection --"iso"--is http://www.zoggles.co.uk/asp/tutorials.asp?tut=18 - very http://gas13.ru/v3/tutorials/isometric_pixelart_tutorial.php - common in http://www.pixelfreak.com/en/tutorial0.html - pixel http://pixeljoint.com/projects/thejoint/ - 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. |
