Better?

The lighting over here needs a lot of work, check out this awesome video, keep in mind that you should enable annotations. I can't really say anything about detailing since the picture is too dark. Good luck with improving mate Tongue

It's good, but not done yet.

Try placing pointlights where you think it seems natural. Play with the colors, but keep them low. We're talking about 0.1 or 0.2.
Not higher.

You need some yellow pointlights at the lamps.
Blue pointlights at the window.
Green one at the green lamp.

Just try and see what happens when you place them

Trying is the first step to success.

RE: Screenshot criticism thread

to get an idea of how far light actually travels, light a candle in your room at night. while a candle in Amnesia only lights up a 2 foot radius by default, a single candle can potentially light a whole room, albeit dimly. using that logic, that single green lamp should, by virtue of how bright it looks in that picture, light up the entire end of that hallway with a faint green hue, until it meets the blue of the moonlight.

Is the lighting unrealistic or need any changes at the billboards?
Imgur is experiencing some problems right now for me so you might not see the image right now.

I think that now the lights just seems to be too bright, maybe if you scale a little bit down they will look better Smile

RE: Screenshot criticism thread

yeah, you should just use one pointlight near the lamp with a large radius and a low value. but you've got the right idea for sure!

So it goes...

If any lamps look off balance, they're supposed to be (not installed correctly and falling).

Different Angle...

I was really bored when I done this...

That's a lot of lamps... You might want to remove just a few of those on the pillars

Aside from the previously mentioned superfluous lamps, I really like the shape of the room.

Just some criticism on the color scheme, brightness and creativity aspect of the corner of this room. Changing the walls to be a bit more white soon.

Throw me some ideas to help make it a little bit more like a teenage girl's room who's personality revolves around horror aspects (not MLP.. Tongue) too if possible.

Edit: The window is not facing the moon, therefore the brightness may/may not be a little off, but I do not need billboards.
