Title: Another Gloomy Day
Name: Matthew Baker
Country: USA
Software: 3ds max, mental ray, Photoshop

I got this idea from all the rain we were having. kind of felt nostalgic reminding me of my home town in Oregon, so I started to create a simple yet gloomy interior scene. I added the white glow coming from the window because it gave a sense of nothingness. nothing to do, nothing to think about. just another gloomy day...
I spent about a day using 3ds max 9 , mental ray, and Photoshop on the whole thing. It took about 4 hours to render. for such a gloomy scene I had a bit of fun. I used a daylight system and some basic arch and design materials because I wanted to keep it simple.
I hope I captured the mood right

Yes... so... gloomy... I think the mood is very much there and there is nothing like real life inspiration to get the artist's mind going. I have one suggestion though. I think the textures could use a little dirtying up and a little unevenness. As it stands now, the textures seem too clean. But well done for a day's work!
