I like the render.
The clip could be a tad bit bigger along with the counterpart above it were it holds it, make it slightly fatter. But it still looks cool. Can we get a wire frame and a poly count (accurate) if possible? Higuy, ill decrease the tint stuff in the cubemap parts, make it darker abit.
It looks fine to me lmao. Maybe not super detailed, but perfectly reasonable for halo 1 :SOriginally Posted by SnaFuBAR
handy tip
if you want anything to be even remotely accurate, base it off the real thing, not cod's dodgy interpretation
So, after following Snaf's advice, I have this; a slightly lengthened and deeper backdrop, light moved more the the side and a new navbar.
E: does it look better with or without the film frames?

Well... What is the focus point, the screen or the logo? Right now the logo is winning my attenion over the display screen, but that may change when pictures are displayed. It's stylish, but I think the screen should have a border of some kind.... just makes my eye drag to the corner of the logo and not to the main thing, a border might help and also make it look less cluttered. Another thing is maybe move the screen a bit further down, and lengthen the logo across the top half left section its at and make the tripod longer.
edit- move tripod further over, make it higher, then extend logo more, maybe having a nav bar extend into border for screen?
Without the film frames is best - just makes sure they're equally distanced from each other.
Of course it's distracting when there's no content on the website. The photos are pretty much gunna fill up that backdrop. Additionally, I think a border would ruin the whole look of the backdrop. I don't think I should move the logo any further. I want to make it look like part of the website, not some addition off to the side.
Fixed. I was lazy with the other image, because all I did was hide the film layer, now the text is properly distributed. (No point uploading another pic)
There's only two things that bug me:
1) How the light is yellow-white, and the screen is bright white. I've always felt they don't go well together, and I would personally either make the light white (which doesn't help with colour variety), or more likely make the light a complementing colour like an orange--something you could use in the content area and still have it look good. If you went with the complementing colour, the whole light stand might have to be orange for example, or else it may look silly. This site's source theme is a good example.
2) The light stand needs a proper hard shadow.
edit: film frames for sure
D: so many conflicting ideas. The reason I gave the logo a yellow glow was so that it was sort of like a studio light. I just tried an orange glow, it looks really weird. I also tried giving the stand a hard shadow, looked out of context because, everything is softly lit, as if by a softbox. I still can't decide between the film frames or lack thereof.
I want to keep the colors very muted, as they're not to distract or conflict with the colors of the photos that will be shown. I was thinking for the gallery to use something along the lines of this: http://www.airtightinteractive.com/projects/autoviewer/
For the lazy, here's an example of what this flash gallery can look like (the distortion is just for effect, it's not actually there in the actual flash gallery, I don't know why the maker is making it look like that)
Or maybe this
