Time To Kill A song performed by a heavy rock/metal band called Overkill is the story behind this pic.... In prison that is all you have is...... Time To Kill. The perspective is from inside one jail cell looking out towards the others. I did all the modeling in Bryce 5 with booleans. I am not that good at modeling but this is a challenge on top of a challenge for me. It is good practice for me. I have much to do with it yet. But I needed someone elses opinion as I have been looking at it far too long. lol This is where you come in. This is a Work In Progress so please critique it well... Let me have it. And thanks to all that will give a good honest critique. 8) ~Swade~

Good start. Just add some prisoners. Maybe a guard making rounds.

Great start. I am assuming the point of view is looking out from the lower bunk, in which case it needs a matress and either a post on the lower corner or a chain running back to the wall at an angle.(Looks like all the bunks do...they look a bit like book shelves without more support IMO) I agree with tjohn, it needs prisoners or some other point of focus...it captures a cold, sterile feeling very well so far though. I look forward to the finished product.

How do the prisoners get in and out of their cells? Maybe model some doors? Great start!

Hm, I disagree with Tjohn and Claymor... the emptiness of the place is just what impressed me most when I saw this picture. Personally, I'd leave the prisoners out. Like this is disquieting and desolate, conveys a very strong feeling.

If you add prisoners, you need the relatively small things that prisoners would have or do in their cells. Pictures, scrawlings on the walls, things like that. Really grundge it up. Or leave it cold and sterile... I think the image needs to be at one extreme or the other.

Swade, Yeah just open the doors as though they escaped or something and leave something to indicate what happened Like a knife through a clock or something... come to think of it ... maybe your idea is better.

Make it darker inside with some light shining through the windows, giving it more of an 'eerie' feel - at least, that's what I'd do. Otherwise, very good job thus far.
