    I know this might not be thread-worthy and what not, but I like when people point out the errors in my poses and I'm not really recieving that in the post screenshots thread.

    There's a lot of empty space here. Back up and zoom in on the CIA operative :cough:FSB:cough: a bit more. It'll shift the focus towards the guy and away from the woods. DoF's not bad. Always fingerpose both hands; never leave a hand unposed, even if it looks like it doesn't need it. The human hand is almost never in the neutral position. The ground is incredibly bare, needs foliage.

    Not bad, all things considered. Keep practicing.

    Screenshot I was doing during the wait. Thank you Ostriches, made small changes due to your advice.

    Now that's much better. Make sure everyone's feet actually touch the ground, too. When you walk at least one of your feet are on the ground at any time. Also, I reiterate, fingerpose everyone.

    So which colors would you think would help the lighting NOT look forced?

    would work if there was some fog (moisture in the air you know), the trees were lit like the guy and the grass wasn't fullbright


    you should get some other grass props (there's a Resistance & Liberation foliage model pack on garrysmod.org), the HL2 ones are horrible because they don't recieve shadows or light

    Does the R&L foliage actually require the game?
