Take a look, As the Soft light Strokes the Nearby table and bounces from the bottom base of the candle. its still not fully complete needs alot of work done to it still need some silk cloth to be added to it a few roses perhaps and some jewerly
Veyr impressive work. There are some bad antialaising artifacts along the base of the lamp shade and the baseboard trim. Did you have your OSA set high enough? Try rendering the image at 2 times the size and scaling down in Photoshop or GIMP. Usually gets rid of that pretty well.
Also, it seems that the lamp, table and candle stick are not producing any shadows. Maybe just the angle of the incoming light, but they don’t seem to be there.
Great texture work on the table and the lamp. Looks great.
heres a update of my Scene i added some more colour to it the bump mapping on the table is slightly better and the spec has been decreased slightly the table is meant to have quite a Grainy and varnished look, and the shadow to the candle is further up.
In my opinion, the first picture is way better, especially lightning-wise. The specularity of the table is good, it gives the impression of long ago varnished surface which has gone a bit dull and broken and the varnish is worn out quite a lot. In other words, it looks old. Very nice effect I say.
On the other picture, the colours are too bright, and there’s a bit too much objects on the table. Lightning is quite aggressive, and the shadows too deep for the overall brightness of the image. The lamp gets too little light, and it might be better if there was no shadows cast on the table or the objects because of windows.
