simplified the model and fiddled the textures and lights. C&C needed. I still can't see whats missing.

Is the model floating above the table top? On the left and right corners there's a darker shadow underneath....oh, and if you can't think of anything it needs, maybe it doesn't need anything...:)

Thanks, Zhann. The dark 'shadows' are the feet, but they're too small and round to be clearly visible as such. I'll just fix that and see how it looks. I'm also adding a pic to the world sphere. Not going for HDRI, just want something to reflect other than white.

That's much more lego-like. :) It's really coming together. I need to say one thing, it may just be me but the shadows on the wall are distracting from the main focus of the image. Maybe if they were a little more blurred it would draw the eye as much? I agree with taking off the feet. It will look better just sitting flat I think. When you say it needs something, I think I know what you are talking about. There is a sort of empty space to the left on the wall. You could either put the bottom half of a framed picture there or maybe it would help to rotate the camera around a bit. Try moving your POV a little and see if that will take up some of the empty space. I don't think it needs anything else in the image because it may take away from your focus. It's almost there! :)

Thanks for the advice guys. Unfortunately, I read it when I got home from work today. Have an idea for something to break up the wall over there, but I'm on a 300Mhz, 64MB 'puter- no chance of re-rendering the wall in time. Actually, thought to double check the deadline (maybe I have another day) and it's 10PM not midnight like I thought. Cool, four minutes to resize and convert the last render. After I uploaded, the top of the page said it was 20:03 CST, just realized that's only 8PM, thought it said EST. I hate mondays. Looking at the shadows has me thinking of relighting the scene to get much softer shadows from the room lights. Ah, for a faster computer and a 30 hour day. Damia, I completly missed the giant empty space on the wall. There was a horrible stripe of the world sphere's texture running down that side. Thought it was a gap at the end of the wall, enlarged the wall, hid the wall, hid the world sphere, enlarged the wall again. It took me about an hour of fighting with it to realize the world sphere was to small and was in the scene. Bryster, every ?candle garden? I've seen, has white or cream candles. You know, neutral, relaxing colors. Mine are sand colored. Yes, thats a real lego color, since the star wars sets came out, along with sand red, sand green, and a bunch of other new colors. Doesn't seem right though, 25 years of collecting lego and suddenly the colors change.

xenic: Ah oops! Missed the point. I hadn't realised you were making a Candle Garden. Still, red would look pretty cool ;-) don'tya think........?
