Wood is good.
Ore, crystals, and other stuff – to hell with it!!!! Seriously, it's as if all of this is found already in the form of ingots or cut gems.... Crystals...and why are they even red??? This applies to previous installments as well...and they strongly resemble rubies, which are not crystals at all, but rather precious stones!! Crystals are rock formations formed from a liquid substance over millennia. That is, water drips, and beautiful things are formed from the sediment:D And precious stones are millions and billions of years of compressed rock or volcanic lava, which hardens under the pressure of the lithosphere and acquires the value for which they are all so greedily mined. Question: What the heck are crystals even needed for???!!!! Maybe to make drinking glasses out of them, like crystal....in general, this has always interested me.
Ore. Here we see a pickaxe sticking out of iron bricks filtered from rock. Nonsense.
Gold is just AMAZING!!!!!:D :D Imagine: you're walking through the forest - and suddenly!!! you notice a light in the dark thicket!!! You run up and see a wonderful sight - bars of 995 gold with the emblem of the Russian gold fund sticking out from under a bush!!!:D :D
In short, only wood pleased me....and the stakes holding the logs, and the axe in them...in general, it's good, even if it's angular. I wonder, are the resource models also three-dimensional, or were they just made in 3D Max and then screenshot? :D Why not just draw them beautifully???!! Maybe these are just prototypes?
Wood is really without complaints. Gold - why not in ingots, do you think coins or sand would be better? Crystals - and why not red, at least for recognizability (by the way, I don't know of any precious stone that wasn't a crystal before being cut, and the definition of crystals is really messed up), with stones it's really strange, how to even describe it, even if they are beautiful, but I don't understand crystal clusters being used as precious stones. Ore is a bit rough, but it will do, at least you won't confuse it with anything. Sulfur is actually quite similar to the real thing, but this is one of those cases where realism can go to hell. Mercury seems to be okay, a closed, opaque vessel, although the color of the vessel should really be changed.;)
