I've been rendering all day long and i think it's finally time to wrap things up. This is probably going to be the final entry which i will submit shortly. If you have any more suggestions now would be a good time to post them user added image

I would suggest lighting up the composition in photoshop a bit, or render with a higher light value.

Thanks Simon. Best of luck to you too. Your entry is at least as good if not more so. You're a great artist and you've made some amazing progress for someone that has been using maya for such a short time. user added image

Thanks you guys, you make me blush :blush:
Matt, are you referring to those bars i put around the thingy that makes the connection between the table and the wall? (boy i sure do know a lot of english words *laughing*... hmm why isn't there a laugh emoticon?). Because if you are, i never thought anyone would ever notice them *laughing again*. You have a sharpshooters eye user added image. They remind me of the cable you added to your scene in the battle arena. They're really high detail and almost invisible.

Thanks again everyone.

great final entry and I like the extra effort to add the new bits into a new scene. The extra light definately brings the detail out user added image

Good luck and a happy new year! user added image

Congrats on your win cris007!! I was going to post in the challenge winners thread, but sadly it has been closed due to a few disgruntled members. Very poor sportsmanship if I must say. This should be a reminder to us all that nobody know's how the judging will go. People should just have fun in these competitions. The experience gained is the best prize anyone can gain from these challenges. Congratulations again on your win, job well done!user added image
