I REALLY like it! Lots of filthy pipes, a rusty locker, nice texture on the walls, &c! One thing however......where's the boiler??! :-)

Great job!!

Looks really good, only thing I can comment on is the repeating pipe texture. Other than that, good job!

Looks good,
The pipe texture seems a bit bright and is distracting from the rest of the scene. Other than that its great user added image

Love the textures, and all the rest really.

Wondered, when you model a bend in a pipe like that, how do you so it? Is it extruded or wedged, or do you use a deformer?

Anyway, great render.

cheers,

gubar.

Not a bad try at all.
Modelling is excellent, cant see any tesselation problems, the detail is all there nicely but there are a few things that could make this nice image more appealing:

It needs a little more sense of depth and darkness, try an ambient occlusoin pass along with some more detailed diffuse and specular map corrosponding with the rust nicely.

Differenciate the textures a little more the floor and walls feel a little simmilar, get some reds into the rust and some muddy and dull cracks into the walls, damp into the celing.
Other things that would help is volumetric lighting an maybe bring some of the details closer to foreground, it seems a little flat and exclusively mid-ground.
