Stil Scene: BLUE

[Pengy]

Hello all: 1st time being able to post something in the showcase forum. Thanks to a ton of help from the great forum users You can check out the w.i.p. here http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4673 Some great advice on how to get realistic looking glass. I used a mixture of materials and maps. Any crits or questions please ask.

I really like the image. Great lighting and materials. Nearly photorealistic. Here are my suggestions, take 'em or leave them, what you've got is nearly perfect anyways.

 

Composition:

• Something else on the table near the back, maybe show a little 'wall' that marks the back of the bar
  
• Move the smoke from the cigarette a bit, it seems runs into a white spot on the table
  
• The shotglass looks a bit small to me. May just be the position
  

Materials:

• Make the edges of the cigarette box frayed a bit (maybe some white edges)
  
• Make the paper frayed, and yellow the color a bit. Maybe make the frayed edges black for the burnt look
  

Great job.

Hi, looks good but the shotglass looks a little thick at the rim. Maybe move the hat a little to the left too.

Hey guys thanks for the suggestions to answer a couple things, the shot glass I used for a reference is actually that thick in the rim it's part of the reason I picked it because along with the hawk outline on the side I thought it was quite unique. I positioned the derby the way I did to show the refraction in the JD bottle. As I said in the wip thread the scene is supposed to be in a lonely motel room but it seems I failed in getting that across. Thanks again

nice scene, the booze bottle seems stumpy to me...
