I've started texturing today. Also i removed the banana leafs from the floor. I think the green colour wouldnt fit at all in the final image. I will place some kind of animal skin/fur instead.
Still gonna add some details...

I have to say, if i could have my office in a tree house, that'd be pretty sweet.

Thanks Mike.

So, I've almost finished Texturing, only the trees are left.
They will take a little longer because I'm going to sculpt them in Zbrush and probably also paint them in there.
Here are a few screenshots:

wow.. office on a tree. that would look so nice in real. good.

Yeah would be cool indeed

So finally i have some free time again to continue. Hope it will be enough time to finish my entry. Anyway, i did a first quick render to show you what I'm looking for. Not GI, FG or other fancy stuff, just 3 lights + raytracing. This is the first render, so obviously alot of tweaking is needed. I still can't decide whether I'll use GI or just fake it to save render time.

it's all fun and games until someone cuts your tree down
that last render is really dark but all your other images look mean as

"A Darkness at Sethanon", a book I aspire to model some of the charcters and scenes

My Macbook screen is not calibrated in windows. Now in Mac OS X i see how dark it is...
But anyway, now you now that i want a Night/Dawn scene. But this turned out really dark o.O Maybe I'll do a night and a day scene...

edit: And i just noticed that i forgot to put a gamma correction on the camera, since I'm working linear. Also I'll probably render the final passes in 32-bit so i have enough room for compositing.

Looks....as mentioned....dark ! But seeing your models and textures there is enough power.. Great work so far.

Finally after a few days of testing around night and day scenes, I've come up with a light setup i acutally like.
Plan for today: lots of tweaking and starting the final renders!
