yeah putting some maybe grey or white blocks behind the skull eyes, nose, etc would make it look a lot better. id use a little jungle foliage and those old overgrown trees along with the other landscaping you have. but what an awesome building. looks awesome
moving on in the park, heading through Marvel Island, you leave one world of comics and enter the brighter world of comics. Entering Toon Lagoon, the first thing you see is the towering structure of Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls, the first attraction to drop its riders 20 feet under water level. Comments welcome:
that is one bright thing. i had to blink a few times before i could compltly see it. looks preety good. the colors are so random but in some way that adds to the section of the park. one thing i thougt could be improved is the sloped water at the bottom of the sction looks a little out of place. looks good
It's not completely my taste, but concerning the theme you have to work with... it's pretty hard. Really change the color on the waterfalls to normal water though.
Your texture is too gritty to communicate the animated idea. You need smoother walls and ideally smoother roofs. The colors are off the wall but work within the theme, but the texture hurts it. If you think about cartoons, they're very cleanly inked. You don't have rough edges or anything like that.
Worst screen you've showed so far. In no way, shape or form does it communicate cartoons, Dudley Do-Rght, The Rocky & Bullwinkle show or anything I think that ride should represent. Disappointing compared to some of your other screens
Your only problem with this screeny is textures as said before. The quarter tile texture would have been PERFECT for the theme, yet for some reason you chose rougher textures that destroy the cartooniness created by the colors. That said, if you were to change most if not all of the walls and roofs to plain quarter block texture with a bit of simplistic variation in texture if any, you'd have yourself an amazing bit of work. The screen is beatiful aside from the textures, but they REALLY take away from the atmosphere.

i must.... disagree
i think it very well captures, not necessarily cartoony, but the actual ride. Im sure alot of people here have gone on that ride including myself and i think it looks alot like what i remember. It might be too bland with smooth walls and that is not what the ride is about. Some of the textures might not be right yet, (like some of the wooden textures), but the walls definately shouldnt be without some texture.
one thing though, definately change the color of the sloping water to regular water color
I'll admit, its an interesting screen, however two biggies.
landscaping - I'm not sure if the jagged wood-walls are supposed to tie into the theme somehow, but they are pretty ugly. If that is truly meant to be earth surrounding the ride, then why not try to make it look more natural? ....just a thought.
foliage - It just feels rushed and not really thought out. This goes both for the selection and placement.
Otherwise, this screen is very nice. I like the wacky colors and the ride looks really well done. Keep it up, but don't get too involved in this.
Man there is tons going on in that screen from what i see. Im happy you changed your first screen to this one. I like it, nice idea. But however, i feel there is something missing.
about the new screen, i think it rocks. I still would have loved just a little texture but it looks really cool, dont stress over it
only one thing --> foliage >_< maybe make it more canadian with some spruces and fir trees (i live in the canadian rockies and see em EVERY frickin day)

As for the screens...it's nice. Perhaps too many changes of colour and it just doesn't give off the DDRF atmosphere that is present in IOA.
