Lighting Challenge #15: Film Noir

IMPORTANT EDIT: THIS IS AN OLD CHALLENGE. 
Please enjoy reading through this thread as an archive, but it is closed to new posts. You can still download the old models and also post your entry in order to ask for feedback here









This challenge is completed, but you can still download this scene files and try lighting it yourself:

Great challenge.... Good luck everyone

A note about file formats: We need more file formats supported.

Giorgio Luciano (jojo1975) has volunteered to make a 3D Studio Max version. We need vokunteers to make versions Softimage XSI, Lightwave, Cinema 4D, Blender, any other programs that are popular. Just PM me if you can do this, and I'll host the version you make.

Even if a program can import some of the file formats that are already available for download, often a native-format version helps draw-in more participants who have that brand of software, and that provides a chance to organize or group the objects better than the way they are imported.

and the high res:




comment and critics are always welcome...

Nice done so far. Maybe a bit to bumpy and a bit to dirty. It looks like its not in 1950, more like a picture photographed from a old gas stadion in the 90's.

what a fun challenge here's my first post on this challenge .

@guivAg
Thx again for your comments and ideas.

Nice Entry. Good scary mood. The painted character silhouette looks a bit displaced in the pictures. a real character with rimlighting and reflecting shiny knife blade will give the picture a bit more depth and character in my opinion. if u dont want to replace it, take a look at the shoulder and head. looks weird.

This is my first challange and my first post, it is just a what I have so far I am not sure about the compisition so any thoughts would be welcomed.
