Which looks the best?
« on: May 31, 2008, 06:50:41 pm »

I need you opinion on something. Which one of these blocks looks the best. I just want to know what you think because I think I am on to something and after you all vote I will tell you the point of this topic. They are all the same texture and bumpmap except on each block I did something different to it's texture but they all have the same texture pattern. So which one do you think looks the best there is no right or wrong answer, I just want to know what you think.
Which looks the best?
  • The first one
  • The second one
  • The third one

OR
  • I don't know they all look pretty good to me

the third one looks slightly bolder (as in the colours are more saturated, the lines are blacker, etc).  at least i think so.  not sure if that's a good thing or not, it depends what effect you're aiming for.

i'm now very curious to find out what you're up to here, foxy!

Well I am glad that you two are curious about this. The secret to it is not all that great and you may be a little disappointed when I tell you but I found this to be very interesting when I discovered it. So all I can say is that I hope you enjoy the surprise and I really hope you will learn something new.

Third for me as well, I think it has a higher ambient/diffuse value.

I was going to say third as well (to me the lines look straighter more than anything), but then I think I worked out the secret. I'll try not to spoil though.

It is amazing that we all picked the same one though.

My official vote will be they all look similar

I have to assume its a "left brain, right brain" thing, 'cos I can't pick a difference between them.  To my eye, they are all identical, and I cannot pick a preference.

I am not sure, but the second one looks a tiny bit darker if you ask me, number three does look a bit sharp but I vote number 2
