Still life: my first piece

I admit its not a brilliant peace of art, but I’m proud of it, my first finished project…
Well, actually it’s not finished, cause I’m asking you to give me some tips, like how to make the sigaret smoke more realistic or how to get that weird reflection out of the glass…

I would really appreciate it…

Here it is:

oops, I see the cross is not touching the book…it’s floating…
Darn…

It’s a nice work, i like the compostion.

you need to make some work on the models (mostly on the gun, to make it a little more sharper), the smoke of the ciggertte can use some more random particles, and the money can be more real if you fold it a bit, and add a few more plane, that it will look like you can see more then one bill.

keep up the blendering, and have a nice day.

You suck, all “I’m just starting out” and make a better work than my first finished project, grr… Just Kidding! :smiley: I do say though the finger loop around the trigger needs dome sub-surfing, if you don’t know how, select the object, go into Edit button where you can select Set Smooth or Set Solid and click the Modifiers button and click subsurf, play around with that until it is smoother. Great Work especially your first! For the glass’s reflection try turning down the Fresnel bar just below the mirror bar. You also might want to take the bullets, line them up with the barrel and scale them up until they fit because the sense of size seems off a bit. Keep up the good work!
