SotW 2 (winner is Revfan9)

That light palette is great for Joe's desert, which uses tons of color and more open designs. But for yours, the darker palette would've been much better.

Noted for future reference.

I know that shot doesn't use those new shadows, but I do believe that your newer shots have them, and you have the same problem with those shadows as well.

No I don't ¬_¬
I've made them darker and it's ok now.
I said.

I also don't like the look of just overlaying random shadows everywhere without having something on the screen to give the shadow off...

Eh, the idea is that it looks like there's a higher up canopy above the rest of the trees casting those shadows down onto the ones you can see in the forest.

Or at least, that was my idea of it.
Either way, it looks better with them than without.

Omigod Pineconn is planning on submitting a screenshot for SotW 3. O_O

Yeah, I'm doing the same in my quest. Although my entire pallete is darker, not just the shadows, so it really feels big and dark and canopyey.
(and the woods of the future are even darker )

[Revfan9]

Well if you wanted it to be a forest with a canopy over it, then wouldn't you want it to look darker? Why would that much light penetrate the Canopy?

[Joe123]

Because I like it nice and light and colourful!
Psht!

It looks good.

[Pineconn]

Uh oh, we have a competition. Every vote counts! As if I didn't expect that these two screenshots would go down to the wire...

And don't forget that we're accepting submissions for SotW 3 (and 4 and 5 and 6...). Just send 'em in to the member known as "SotW".

WHERE'S SOTW 3?!?!

I mean... forget that. Congrats Revfan.
