Please let me know whether or not you like my design.
Thanks for the kind words. It is my original design, I really do not know how I achieved that :) But I like that too. I achieved floor with procedural brick texture and a wood image texture. Simply, I could strengthen the glossy value, that would be better. It is an outdoor scene. I found out that the original sun lamp creates much more realistic effect.
If the ground represents a brick or block surface, then realistically the individual bricks should be surrounded by at least slight indentations. The blocks can still be glossy, but the bonding material needs to be matt.
I agree, I was just thinking it was ok on a preview, But came out like that at the end :(
If you do an image search for ceramic paving tiles and scroll through the pages, you notice that the grout lines, even if sealed, are slightly indented.
Perhaps you could try a bump texture as used for the coin in this video: http://vimeo.com/44842239.
It looks like a very good plastic colour and specularity, you got those levels perfect :)
Simple lines and colourful. I like that it has a high back. Is it your own original design? Nice sheen. Going by what looks like a printed floor design, is it an indoor scene?
