Hey Pure_Morning - lookin' good - like the colors - I'm for darkening the shadows under the bed etc. a bit tho... could give the scene a slightly more real feel to it.

The lighting needs to be sourced - right now it looks like there is no roof and sunlight is shining in - GI_Joe? I'd not necessarily use GI_Joe in this case - but there may be those more experienced with it's uses that can prove me wrong here - you just need a more subtle indoor lighting if it's supposed to feel like an indoor scene.

Nice contrast between the blue tones and the red planes.

yeah i completley agree, I'm gonna hopefully start working on the lighting tomorrow (Sopranos is on tonite and I dont miss the Sopranos for anyone or anything so I've come home early!!!) user added image

I'm really not sure about how to achieve realistic indoor lighting, i need to find a tute.

I'm considering adding more toys to the bedroom, I've done some concept stuff for some robots and stuff. What do you think? I really wanna make this animation as high quality as possible so that I have something nice on my showreel, so I'm open to suggestions user added image

thank you Cyrius, I'm working on other objects in the scene right now, I've got some balls, a robot, a book shelf and and a picture frame (possiblly a guitar too) all on the way.

Ps. New Animation (Environment looks awful but that's due to the GI, it's an animation test and the animation looks ok) it's about 5megs and divx 5

the lightning looks much better now.

to the animation:
-the speed of the planes seems (to me) a bit to low
-and also the propeller is a little bit to slow... and because of this it looks like there were aliens at work to hold your planes in the air....

small update:

Bit more tweaking on the lights, I think that the planes need some more lighting work just to pick them out a bit more, comments?

Abra: thanks for your comments the speed is something I have been a little worried about, I will see what i can do about it user added image

Actually I believe it´s not a glow. They´re over-saturated I think.
Perhaps lower the crayons color saturations?

Scene looks excellent!

I think you're right adl it must be the saturation, the lighting is probably picking them up a bit too much. I will lower their saturation in photoshop. I was trying to capture the look of those old crayons that everyone used to have that are really bright and gaudy.

Did no one notice the name of the crayons?! user added image

Mayolas (instead of Crayolas) user added image

I'll post the results of the curtain's animation later today when I get to uni and see how it came out.

Thanks for the crits guys, it's really good to hear what people think of this cause I think it's the best work I've ever done.
