That's one awesome screenshot. It's perfect to me. Not too bright and not too dark. And the chair is in a perfect position. Love your work.

Shush. It's okay. Don't cry now.(Joke)
I can't even make that if you ask me.

I love the layout and the angle you took the screenshot from. Gorgeous! It could use some (more) decals, dust, or particles to break up the floor/wall patterns. Also, your billboards are very bright (and white!), turn down the alpha or make them darker. If your light source isn't white, you might want to change the colour of the billboards to match your light source as well. Nice use of fog in the distance and lighting!

They make stuff better than I do as well Smile It's just a lot of practice and patience!

The 2nd one needs some welder on some walls. The 1st one looks fine to me.
The second one's light is too yellow. Make it more white. That's how the billboards look.
You might want to place something on the shelves.
Oh okay thanks.
OK, here's my first run at using some of the elements of HPL I'm not too familiar with yet. I tried to use each thing I hadn't used yet without making it look like I just shoved it all in a room. Billboards for lighting and scratches on a door, fog areas, boxlights and particle effects. I tried to put some neat touches in the area. The door laying inside showing something burst in and not out, the light by the bed still on showing it happened recently, and one other small touch that's (in my opinion) pretty clever (probably not lol)

I do have 2 questions: When editing light colors, what's the A for? I get RGB but I dunno what A does except making my light vanish if I turn it all the way down. Also, which light billboard is best for light coming in a window? I'm using bb_white_Halo right now.

Oh, and how do you guys put your images into your posts? When I upload an attachment the "insert into post" button doesn't do anything, or should I use a 3rd party site like imageshack or photobucket?
