not a car

[MrOrange]

so, its 4:28am and im in commons at school. workin on my maya materials project that is due by the end of the day tommorow

and i have a long way to go

trying to re-create an interior from a photograph

I havnt posted here in a while cause i havent worked on any cars in a while, but i figured some people might have some comments on this.

the first image is the photo... but if you couldnt tell then ... second...yeah.. render

shadows need work.... and that stupid glow beneath the chairs.

The painting should be slightly larger, and get rid of the pilar on it
The rest looks good, sofar

i like it ... i dont see whats wrong with the shadows ... but if you say so!

[revelli]

i dont like the ground, it is too reflective
you need to add more light, try to use ambient lights

[MrOrange]

thanks for your input

heres a little update....still needs work .. ugh

[evilhoodlem]

there is WAY too much specular decay on the ground on the lower right hand of the ground, also the chairs need to be lit up more. it doesn't make sence, if there is soo much light coming through the windows and the chairs to be so dark. also that piller as you can see in the picture is more of a daul metal, like more grainy. And last thing i can notice which is kinda small. is the texture you used on the steps, they should not be going all the same way, they should be turning with each steps. I'm sorry if all this came out harsh. it wasn't ment to. Oh last thing as for the lighting, i have never used maya, so i don't know exacty how you would do this, but in softimage, we have something called "associative lighting" which tells what light can light up each things...that could help ya too

ummm.... light linking, i think maybe maya calls it, if thats the same thing

Thanks for your input, i had to turn in the project last night, this is what it looked like.

It's a bit more lit around the chairs, but yeah the specular is still pretty harsh. And i was gettin pissed cause the renderer kept showing up with these large black spots, that i have never seen before, you can see them along the ceiling.

They'd be in a different place each render. Just wierd assed artifacts.

Thanks ya'lll, i've closed up shop on this one though.

yea i like the one alot better, i like the windows, but the specular is harsh like you said, but besides that it came out pretty well
