I know, but if you're making a game like the real world (Except monsters, goo, etc.) you should have realistic lights and light rays, right?
@zandro: just look at this:

.. Outside..?

RE: Screenshot criticism thread - Rapture - 08-01-2013
That would be a scene that really needs spotlight shadows.
RE: Screenshot criticism thread - Kman - 08-01-2013
i dunno where i would really put any where it would make a major difference though???
there really isn't a whole lot in the way of the light other than a few small objects and i don't really want to extend the light cause the whole idea behind it was it was supposed to be a really small light source so the darkness around it would feel more oppressive

@zandro: just look at this:
That's without lights and particles, just billboardsSpoiler below!
You can have bright billboards that stick out like a sore thumb that don't look crappy like the example you just posted. For example, what Zan posted. What you posted was unfair; when the alpha is lowered, it's less apparent that the billboards you placed clip through the window. It's all about how you place and scale them. Your point is moot because all of this is up to opinion; personally, I think bright billboards work perfectly for Zan's work because of the contrast it creates between the brown and orange tones of the rest of the room. If it was realistic, it would be too uniform, and thus defeat what he was (probably) shooting for.
RE: Screenshot criticism thread - Kman - 08-01-2013
added some stuff in front of the light and put in a shadowcaster and smoothed out the lighting a lot. i get what you're saying about smoothing the light to make it look more natural and i usually do do that it's just a lot of the time i just don't remember to do it so thanks for pointing that out
gonna keep the color scheme the same though since my whole idea behind that was that it's supposed to look very bleak and harsh to make it feel unwelcoming and i think the contrast between pure white light and pitch black really helps to capture that

Anyone know if there's a way to get a vignette effect like some games have?
RE: Screenshot criticism thread - FlawlessHappiness - 08-04-2013
Because of my current internetconnection i only saw the first picture... Definetly enough... Am-am-amazing, IMO.
Love it. Would love to play it too! It looks like something that needs to be played.
