Like the title says just looking for feedback on how to improve the roof design. I feel as though it looks kind of off and want to make it look better, thanks.

I would just say to make it feel a bit more random

#

I would look at photos online as well

what @nova dock said it should be more random rather than a neat pattern

I was thinking the same thing thank you and I have just struggling with making it look good

supple gate what <@383121333472460801> said it should be more random rather than a neat patt...

Got it thank you

#

How do I make it more random?

nova dock Nov 18, 2023, 6:03 AM

#

Because when its too organized it looks almost like a pattern more than something that is naturally caused by uncontrollable and inconsistent conditions

#

So take the silver and lighter brown and such

#

Maybe a spot near the top

#

And instead of the sizes and colors being so consistent all across they can be messy and will look more natural

#

You have a harsh solid line between the silver and the darker brown and if it wasn't so consistent would also help

If you look closely at the roof here there are times when it just cuts straight from dark red to silver, and in other places it has a smoother transition of lighter red colors

#

And it has no pattern to it, some places are just way more warn than others ect

cedar creek Nov 18, 2023, 6:09 AM

#

So essentially mess it all up

#

Instead of making it like almost dripping throw the colors around if that makes sense

#

And make the colors inconsistent size wise

nova dock Nov 18, 2023, 6:10 AM

#

There's still SLIGHT pattern to it but yeah, it looks too neat and organized to be something that is rusty

#

#

I think I see what you're saying however do you think you could maybe show me in game at some point? I gotta see it in person

nova dock Nov 18, 2023, 6:12 AM

#

I don't know how I would do that

cedar creek Nov 18, 2023, 6:12 AM

#

Like join eachothers game?

nova dock Nov 18, 2023, 6:13 AM

#

I mean just make it look less like a pattern cri

cedar creek Nov 18, 2023, 6:13 AM

#

Ah okay then don't worry about it

#

Thank you so much!

#

@nova dock @worn plover So I tried applying both of the things you said and so far this is what I've come up with thoughts?

nova dock Nov 19, 2023, 5:01 AM

#

Can still be more random

#

Doesn't need to be such consistent shading from gray to dark

cedar creek Nov 19, 2023, 5:02 AM

#

Like a more abrupt transition instead of a gradient almost

#

nova dock Doesn't need to be such consistent shading from gray to dark

.

#

The thing is in images of rust I've seen there is almost some kind of transition to "clean" metal for lack of a better term

nova dock Doesn't need to be such consistent shading from gray to dark

yeah

nova dock Nov 19, 2023, 5:07 AM

#

Well if thats what you are trying to copy then I guess you did a good job

cedar creek Nov 19, 2023, 5:08 AM

#

Idk I think I like yours more as it does make sense

#

I'm gonna have to delete what I have so far tho 😭

nova dock Nov 19, 2023, 5:14 AM

#

No

#

Just move stuff around

#

Can still keep all of what you made

cedar creek Nov 19, 2023, 5:18 AM

#

Alright

#

I think a big part of what make's this gradient thing look a bit off is because the gradient needs to be a lot small

#

And more like splotches of darker rust everywhere

cedar creek Nov 19, 2023, 6:13 AM

#

@nova dock This is a good example of what I'm talking about with the gradient and stuff

#

The suggestion is still very helpful tho this isn't to invalidate it or anything.

#

Also I am still going to use it

nova dock Nov 19, 2023, 6:21 AM

#

okay

cedar creek Nov 20, 2023, 6:14 AM

So I've tried incorporating more randomness and stuff. I also came up with the idea to make it look like different panels by starting the ultra rusted part about halfway through the entire size of the roof if that makes sense. What do you guys think? @nova dock @worn plover
