Not bad my friend. But I'm not a fan of Ocean ripple as an actual effect it's self I like using it to enhance my effects. Keep working bud, your getting there. Try using C4D's set on screen and erasing parts to get nice effects on your renders.
ok will try that a bit later but i was trying to brake away from using c4ds to make a new style for me :P but if thats wht people liek then i will make another vs of this for yea with it just now smooth some of the ripple out .
Well if you want to create a new style do it up bro. Work at it. Like I said I'll help you out.
just posted v 3 with c4d effects
The flow and background is great.
Ocean ripple isn't though.
Your lighting is extremely off in all versions except the first one. It seems that you placed two soft brushes on the canvas.
Obviously that isn't proper lighting, also, there isn't a discrete and proper light source if you do that.
Good work otherwise man, keep it up :D.
I don't mind ocean ripple so much but i don't like it being quite so close to the render. And as above I would say take the soft brush on the left side away and keep the right side. Bring the whole things brightness up a little and either use the Filter>Render>Lighting Effects or burn and dodge to give it tht little better lighting. I can have a go with tht if u want cos Lighting is probably the only thing i'm actually alright at in sigs lol
right on bro i will mess with it again later :P when i feel up too it that is :)
