This is a museum setting scene that I shaded and lit for a class that I'm currently taking. Suggestions or criticism would be greatly appreciated.

We are presented with grave words and values
almost from the cradle: "good" and "evil" this gift
is called. For its sake we are forgiven for living.

Its missing some of the fundamental stuff like shadows and the lighting itself could use some work since it doesn't really set a mood or flatter any of the objects. The problem with the shaders in my opinion is that the bump may be a bit too high on a lot of the objects and I have a hard time figuring out what exactly the materials are supposed to be, for example I can't tell if the floor has rubber tiles or ceramic tiles. Not trying to be harsh, just honest critique. It won't happen overnight, keep at it. user added image

yeah - as gecT said, the main problem at the moment is that all of the materials look the same - everything is too shiny. try working on a spec map and concentrating on what objects would be shiny and reflective and which objects are not.

also - your textures just look way too clean and without any sign of wear - especially in a museum where there is likely to be dust and grime.

last - i'd lose the da vinci painting - it's too obvious and too well known - and it would be unlikely that a painting of that size would be hung in such a tight corridor and never with (what looks like) direct sunlight coming from windows on the opposite walls.

Yeah, pretty much what everyone is saying, your lighting is a little bit off...

I think you should place some indoor lights in there, and maybe not so much of the outside sunlight. Like arran said, the painting doesn't quite fit in a tight corridor with sunlight shining directly on it.

Everything else is good. Adjust the lighting, etc, and it will be alot better.
