WIP: Smelly Stuff (Brazil 1.0 Test)

[soundwav_]

Looks good... maybe a bit dark, but looks good.

The image looks good, although I think it may be a little too dark. Also, the texture on the bottle looks stretched.

Swiss Army cologne, eh? Does this mean... it's all like multi-purpose, and can also be used as hairspray and bug killer, and the bottom of the can is a cookie cutter? ;)

Seems like they're too black... if you're going for something really realistic, that is. As a simple shot, I like the effect, but if you want more realism you'll have to work on the environment and reflections.

I think you need to work on your materials before you worry about your renders.....
The black material looks like 0% diffuse and is basically a black hole sucking in any light during the render and doesnt really look anything realistic....

I agree, the black is far too dark, and the red on the top of the can is too saturated.

Try using a black and white gradient set to spherical environment mapping as your environment. Increase the output slightly ( 1.5 - 2.0 ). Although it is simple, this can produce some pleasing reflections, which might "liven" up the cans.
In a scene like this, environment and reflections are very important.
