Artwork Focused Critiques

This is my first actual scene. I planned on rendering the final in Luxrender, but it proved too hard on my computer… so, the final with textures was rendered in the blender internal renderer.

I would like some help with the textures, its always been my weak spot, and im not at all happy with them right now. I didnt texture everything in the last image, i kind of got frustrated with it towards the end.

Textured and rendered in blender (keep in mind, not everything is textured)

Looking good. Consider using bump maps as that might help you out some. The lighting looks good in the second image. The floor needs some work, either by modeling a tiled floor or using a tile texture of some sort.

How do i go about using bump maps? is that the same thing as adding geometry under the influence panel?

Start here. It’s a thread on the forum:

The thread explains it for Blender 2.49 and below.

Is the book shelf in another room or a hallway? The top of the book shelf comes to the same level as the cupboards, it looks slightly out of proportion or out of place. Adjusting the hight might fix it. Looks good though.
