Really really nice. I especially like the first one, because I'm not too sure if I believe the backdrop on the third image and the second one its a bit too blurry for me.

i have to agree, something about the third picture just doesn't look right...

otherwise sweet job! love the material used on the dog




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Nice finished render! Its good to see that here!!!!

I think the third looks off due to shadowing which will further concrete the characters in the scene and the girls pose is off balance.

Just wack a shadow and an AO pass if you dont have allready and fade them in a bit in your comp, not too strong and see if it makes a difference.



Nice stuff dude.

Thanks dude im glad you like it! user added image

You say the shadow is to strong?
Yes I have the shadow render in other layer, and I did compose the shadow in after effects, I lower the opacity to 50% and gaussian blur. so maybe I should lower more the opacity.

For the pose.. she is supose to be walking towars the dog.. so maybe thats why she is looking of balance?

Anyway man, thats a lot for the coments. user added image

hmm the key light source is coming from the camera direction. I think you should make the direction of this light source more clear and then compliment it with a clear bounce color from the floor and some fills.


With the pose, her weight is on her left foot so all her weight should be comfortably over it. Usually the chin is in line with the center of gravity so just adjust her so she is in line with that. And may adjust her spine so she is inclined more towards the dog, and push her right arm back a bit so it is more in-tune with a mid walk pose.

"Gallery Submission" or "Good Enough for the Gallery"

Well I just read for first time I think, that you can ask to be in the simplymaya galery with your finish works.. If they are good enough of course..
So you have to put these words i think.. "Gallery Submission" or "Good Enough for the Gallery" to be consider at least. user added image

So there is.
"Gallery Submission" or "Good Enough for the Gallery"
