Drivenslush: Does it have to be snow or can it be floating petals.. hearts etc.. like the ones that have at halmark.. (It's okay if it's just snow, but I think if we could make other things flying around it would add to the mix).. asking ahead of time so I don't get a spanking later.. hehehe

spaceranger: @Drivenslush-To be safe I'll have to check with the other mods so please wait till I can confirm this but I think we could allow the alternate types you mention as long as the result is similar to the standard snow globe effect. ( 5 years and 963 days ago )

Drivenslush: Thanks Rein

I get ideas and I know they seldom mesh with others and it's better to be safe than sorry.. THANKS!

spaceranger: @Drivenslush-The others Mods agree to your suggestion Ernie, we will allow the alternate types of snow globes you mentioned as long as the result is similar to the standard snow globe effect. ( 5 years and 962 days ago )

skyangel: Is Animation allowed? ( 5 years and 958 days ago )

Contest Moderator: @skyangel-You could add some animation such as the snow flakes falling but keep it simple please, the contest goal is primarily the design of the globe. ( 5 years and 957 days ago )

Shaima11: Pinterest images while works? ( 5 years and 956 days ago )

spaceranger: @Shaima11-Pinterest is an image hosting site, and can't be used. Images on this site are posted by people who found them on the internet and post them on Pinterest who does little to check the original owners rights unless complaints are made. Since no usage terms are shown you can't use the images. ( 5 years and 955 days ago )

skyangel says:

Lovely work. Very well done.
A suggestion for improvement is to give the wooden floor the same perspective as the base of the globe. Two different perspectives make it look like the globe is not sitting correctly on the floor.

author says:

I lowered the snow ball a little and I changed the perspective to match the base of globe. I hope I did well. Thanks for comment.

Much better.

Drivenslush says:

Just use perspective on the wooden planks and it will ground the whole thing. Right now you are getting a floating effect from the parallel lines. It looks more like a wooden fence and not a wooden floor. It's still a great chop. Good Luck.

On a side note, we used to get that type of snow globe at the Gift Gallery and they had a switch on them and they would activate themselves. I would hold them perfectly still in my hands, flip the switch on the bottom and they'd swirl like crazy. SOLD A TON OF THEM. hehehe

author says:

Thanks Ernest. I appreciate your advise.

spaceranger says:

The perspective of the table is still way off. Perspective isn't that difficult to learn, there are many tutorials you can find on line about perspective.
Here are a couple from youtube that are very basic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgeMDL-gXDQ
and this one about cylinders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMRhuUQREMQ

Thanks Rein. I appreciate your help, saved links to check perspectives in youtube and pixabay.
