boi dat's good

Ahhh thanks boi!

damn I love these

I'm glad you've been liking these! Ok then I'll be looking into gathering more subject material for future studies ;]

These are all super cool! Really great work!

For other games, (I recommended one of these on twitter already I think,) but here's a couple of games that I remember having beautiful backgrounds in them!

The Talos Principle. It's a puzzle exploration game, and the level design is really beautiful in some places (I need to go back through and get more screenshots of the different areas):

Shadow Warrior 2, a run and gun shooter with some absurd built in camera functions that let you take screenshots like this (The game itself has fun gameplay, but a lot of problematic characters and jokes):
I spent a lot of time in the screenshot tool so here's a gallery: https://imgur.com/a/GK6oo

Talos principle doesn't have a color palette which has really enticed me that much. Though regarding puzzle games, The Witness has enticed me a ton.

Shadow warrior 2 looks like it has a great palette though

Shadow Warrior 2's art direction and palette is surprisingly astounding for the type of game that its attached to! Almost worth picking up on sale just to run around using the photo mode taking pictures.

I sympathize with your brownness overload, that's one of the big reasons why I liked Oblivion better than Skyrim: a more varied color pallet.

Non-brown games are super hard to find. The Witness is a great one for its refreshing palette.

Yeeee, Witcher is the best for finding random beautiful scenes when you least expect it! I love the urban environment in it too

Ohhhh yeah urban environments can be great. I should try those out too.

I'm a huge fan of landscapes, so to see these sort of pieces coming from you is a real pleasure. Commenting on all 4 pieces as a whole, your cloud work and lighting is superb. You really did capture a glimpse of nature in these, good work.

Oh thanks so much man! Each one did take a couple of hours or so, so I'm glad people are enjoying them here. :]

it would seem you have a talent for such things...

Horizon: Zero Dawn has some really pretty landscapes. Unfortunately, it's PS4 exclusive, but screenshots or videos might still be useful.

Wow I really dig to your environment studies!
Anyway, I found Assassin's Creed's environment renders are excellent!

Oh yeah some of the assassin's creed environments are great, especially the interiors of some of the buildings which seem to utilize radiosity a ton.

yess. and the recenr ones even use more realistic lightings.

I'd love to go fishing here :)

Careful not to catch a drowner!

Amazing piece ! that reminds of Witcher 3 environment :D

Toussaint :D

:) <3

Zelda: Breath of the wild is a stunning game to do environment studies from!

...and the weeds, just happy_little_weeds everywhere!

Boo, want more details, boo swish boooooo >:V

Y'know, for all the negative feedback the game received, No Man's Sky could be a great game for studies and art inspiration. It's rather slow-paced and meditative, has a screenshot mode, and renders beautiful scenery in a wide range of colors, if you're in the mood for something a little different.

That actually sounds pretty interesting but I don’t know if I could get myself to make such a purchase knowing what the game is like xD

It's actually pretty good, as long as you know what to expect. I bought it back when it was released and played it for some 20 hours or so and eventually lost interest as there wasn't enough unique content and gameplay depth. They've added several major content patches since then, such as planetary vehicles and base building. I wouldn't recommend buying it at full price, but if you can pick it up at a discount it might be worth it, if only for the atmosphere and art direction.

That looks nice... "Some happy little trees that live along the river go here..."
