another approach. plz suggest which one is better

@nirmalya007 - I like the first one’s ambience better - seems like a more real level of bounced light - the second seems unnaturally dark outside the godrays.

That said, I really like the composition and deliberate shadow on the floor.

I’d suggest looking at adding godrays from the right hand window might be neccessary? Even if they were 10-20% less lit, which could be explained by the angle of the glass reflecting some, but not all the light.

Don
have a great day

As this is a lighting challenge, I thought I’d show someone having a challenge with their lighting :slight_smile:

Hope that isn’t considered nsfw!

This is the first time I’ve used Mental Ray, it’s been quite a learning curve but definitely worth the ride so far.

Hi guys! Finally this week I’m having some time to retouch my entrie in this challenge. So here it is. I’ve changed the position of the objects a little bit, for better compositing, changed the position of the lights for better decay (fallof), and added a spotlight to increase the overall contrast in the image and draw more atention to the center of it.
Still wan’t to detaile the objects a little more, and make the scene a little bit messier.
Thank you guys for all the help with comments and inspirations. I wouldn’t have achieve this result without feedback. :thumbsup:

Hello Asinn , I love your render and the idea is very original!, if you want to try, I put a light to mark the edge of the dummy from the left blue or cold for further underscores the figures!
I congratulate you as well and is beautiful!

Very impressive asinn! Shaders feel very detailed, full of nuances. And the contrast in the colors of light is very nice too…

The flare is a little intense for my personal taste, but that is it.

Congrats!

sorry for repost, but it didn’t show up due to moderation required for first posts, and I’d really like some feedback before week’s end.

#294

:hmm: late !!! I would give a try next time…

@nirmalya007,good work!! I like the first one than the second. If i have to suggest, having something painted on the canvas rather than keeping it blank can make the image more dramatic. Also, by making the objects on the table (near to the camera) less obvious, i think the attention goes to the middle of the image , adding to the dramatization. 

@gustavoeb, the first image, to me, looks more appealing. The sharpness of the satin cloth draws my attention towards it. But only thing, the right hand side of the image seems kind of empty due to the fact that the canvas is nearly 30% of the image and has less composition on it. I believe a simple drawing or painting will make the image look better.
