Grand Lobby

[glorybound]

Here is a lobby that I am working on, and I thought I would post early.

Good and clean. Much natural light getting into it? Have you got Detail enhancement or AO turned on in this render too?

[glorybound]

Just a simple default gray with a dirt map.

as john says, I'd flood the room with bluish light coming from those windows. if they are in fact windows..

[Kr0no]

This is a good start! Looking forward your render!

[mikeh]

very nice. You make the figurines or pick them up from a site like turbosquid?

I purchased the plaster above the fireplace, from Turbosquid. When I went looking for the figures, and saw the prices on Turbosquid, I looked elsewhere. I found tons of things, including the figures, on archive3d.net

I tried to use the rooms entrance to frame the space and the fireplace fell nicely into the bottom left 3rd. I think I am going to try some natural light, leaving the fixtures off. I had to crank the lights way up to get nice illumination, which makes the lights get blown out.

really like this one, even though I think it may not be descriptive enough to give a proper feeling of the space. very intriguing framing though. I like the lighting too, and I think some cold light coming from the left would create some nice contrast. I'd leave the fixtures on though, even if toned down a bit.

very nice - and some soot on wall behind the flame and a used look down the fire?

I'm having a heck of a time getting my lights balanced, but I think it is coming along nicely. I have blue coming in, on the sides, from the outside. I have the fireplace with a nice orange glow, which is the strongest light source in the scene. The artificial lights were the most difficult , because I wanted it bright enough to light the room, but not to bright that they are blown out. Anyway, I'll post tomorrow, if all goes well.

[glorybound]

anybody willing to take a look at my scene? Everything seems tight, with nothing out-of-wack, but it's not rendering.

Here are my render settings



and here are my materials

[glorybound]

and my lights



if you would like, I can post my scene. This has to go out tomorrow!

[glorybound]

when I say that it doesn't render, I mean the initial buckets just sit there for hours.

Here is the scene $25.00 Paypal for anyone who can help before 5:00pm
