RE: Screenshot criticism thread

Pretty nice so far, but you'll need to work a bit more on the lighting. There are a lot of unnatural shadows around the torch. Place a pointlight and a boxlight lighten the room up.

Unnatural shadows? Explain please.
Of course I'm already using a pointlight, boxlight and spotlight.

The torch on the picture is a torch surrounded by a ball of light. This is not how light works in the real world.
The light will light up more of the room, but fade more and more until it's black.

Trying is the first step to success.

The dark shadows. A light doesn't just stop somewhere in mid air. It goes on till it reaches a wall. I'm talking about the pure dark spots on the left and right of the screen

The billboard's color is too strong. It must be faint. Add some light dust. Again, it must be faint.

It's also pretty dark.. You should add more point- and spotlights.

Yes sir!

Edit: The problem is that I allways have a hard time using pointlights! :p

Then learn it! Use them more often, if they're hard to use! Smile The more you use them, the more you'll get used to the way they work, and how you're supposed to use them
