A quick picture of my scrapper Xialynia done in paint shop pro 7. This is a child version of her, let me know what you think ^^

I am trying to do an anaimation based on Xialynia and if anyone is familiar with 3ds max , HELP i can't get the background to look right. Either it's too flat or too realistic any advice welcome.

Mediaminer.org

And if this doesnt work just go to www.mediaminer.org and look at the artwork of Xialynia

73x75 pixels?

A little small, no? But from what I can see, it looks nice.

Have you got a simple plane/map as a background? or did you model stuff as a BG?
A screenshot would help to see.

EDIT: ok bigger now :P

Not bad at all. You got the base colours in.. Now you need shadows..

lol im having a bad day, i had 3 images on my memory key of xialynia and the one i uploaded was the one without shading ><. theres shading now :P.

yes the background is modelled if rather badly and i will post a screenshot maybe later cos its on another computer. I have spent these last days running around spending 3 hours playing coh, 3 hours doing 3ds max tutorial in hope of getting the background right and so forth

Well I don't know exactly how far into it you've gotten, but the most efficent way to create a BG in Max would be to model anything that's in the foreground and middleground and then add a plane with a map on it for the background...

I want to see the screenie though

ok i have the screenshots. number one is done by painting over the 3ds max models in paint shop pro and it looks really flat.
Background 01

number 2 is a screenshot from 3ds max where models have been textured as falloff- no paint program manipulation
background 2

and finally the third is the same as number two but with paint shop pro manipulation.

background 3

basically i want the image of xialynia that i first posted to have this as a background and for it to fit and not look weird.

I drew another picture of Xialynia, this time she is older. It is just a sketch i did while bored
