Hey guys. I post here with an enviroment i'm creating for a movie for my friend. Pretty much it'll take place in this room:

I'd like some ideas of what to add to the room. I plan on adding a comp (labtop) and a chair.

I'm going for sorta of a "hacking" room like in the beginning of the Matrix where Trinity is hacking. Not the same room, but idea as that.

Like i said, any ideas, suggestions, critisims would be extremely helpful for this room.

Thanks in advance.

In addition to the chair and computer I think it needs a little more lighting contrast to give it a little more dramatic feel. The lighting right now looks very even -- not something generally seen in basements (is this a basement?) or hacking rooms (dunno -- never seen a hacking room).

Anyway, my 2c

For the dramatic feel, I'd rather add a visible spotlight, coming from one of the sidewalls, or from above and focusing on the chair.
Rendering with radiosity activated should give a nice effect. It also seems, from what I can see that the texture on the wall is a little too big. Maybe add more detail in the scene, such as some pipes, spider web in a corner, a box, you know, things that you can usually find in a basement.

nice but I think the pipes need a good rusty bump map on them.

give them some old feel.

with that said this is looking very promising.

You should align the tile material with the lose tiles...:thumbsup:

Thanks for all the comments guys!

Iladi: I'm not too sure how to use radiosity nor do i know what it does. A small brief explanation if ya could? ;) I also added a spotlight but i'm having trouble getting it to work like i want to.

Kotayus: I was too lazy to add the extra 2 legs, can you believe it? too lazy...=|

celezionka: How I would i really go about making lighting more "uneven"? I know what you're saying, but lighting to me is something i'm FAR from mastering. :surprised:

Here's 2 new updates:

And now with an extra omni added:

I'm still working on the lighting and texture work still.

Also, anyone know how i could add "steam" or "fog" without having to leave c4d?

Comments please!:rolleyes:

hehe, i like it with more light. As far as steam goes, i did this is pyrocluster a while back:

I think it simulates the whole smoke/steam thing well...could lower the birth/death of the particles to make it more transparent, not so "puffy"

I still think the tile material should be lined up with the lose tiles... :hmm:

And I liked the other material better, but meaby it's just the light.

I knew this was gonna happen. people always always say the lighting sucks when there is low light.

as a result the whole image gets washed out.

dude if I were you I would go back to the old light setup.

maybe try using some of that anti light stuff to darken it up a bit.

and that light should probibly not be visible. I mean when is the last time you saw a light like that in real life?

Kotayus: How do you make that smoke? I fooled around with pyrocluster and for some reason it never rendered.

JIII: I got carried away with the visible lighting. :shrug:

Here's a small update on the basement: Comments are welcome, i'd like to get this down. Thanks!
