hi everyone,

I would appreciate any C & C on how to improve this image

Thanks

Hi Steve.
Two things I notice are too large of an area shadow setting and displacement is needed on that tile floor. Looks like a nice naturally lit corridor, so perhaps you could try it without the downlights. Let the light bounce

It also looks like Matt set up your camera

hey man, great. Lighting is very good - but I agree with aaron about this IES light effect and floor. Maybe setting other shader to rocks too...

[MHenry]

IMO - I think you should only use the natural light source, skylights, to light your seen and turn off the artificial lights (save them for a night shot).
It seems a little overkill.

good work steve, i agree about the downlights

[shelsby]

gr8 improvement...loockin really sweet! still u should pay some atention to how the floor reaches another surface..(sorry..can t realy xplaint it in english...)

[Candelero]

Really great improve ! Keep up !

Hope you don't mind, I did some tiny touches in PS over the image, trying to increase the "depth feeling| of the atrium.


Not sure, whether it is better ot not - up to you. Just my POV.

drunkard-cam RULEZ! looks great, steve!

you're not running 1.5 yet, are you? I think this would be neat to see with the new sun/sky and some camera exposure. Right now, those skylights are HOT!
