How would I make a really gloomy looking atmosphere? I've got a scene with an abandoned laboratory, with lots of high tech, rusting equipment in the middle of the night. How can I make it look really depressing and lifeless?

Thanks

i would sy lighting is the key to this
it has to reflect the scene it cant be too bright
i would try v dim lights an experiment with colours say addin a tint of blue to some of the lights an may b some light fog or something like that

Now at SMU doing BSc 3D Computer Animation so its hard to get on here

As pbman suggested, some fog and maybe some particlles in the air to simulate dust would help it along.

I've had a go at that now, I've got moonlight shining through a window. I'm using ray-traced shadows, and they are very 'hard,' around the edges there is no blure. Is there a way of blurring shadows?

Thanks
