Ockham's razor- It's that simple

Nice work. Windows and room in general look great.

here's the light rig

ah ha! I figured out why the lighting is giving me a hard time

I like those windows a lot too! Nice place to curl up and read a book. :-)

I need to move the shadow casting lights to the center row (straight up). The rotate the whole thing to point at the sun. I flagged it because if you squint real hard you can see the bottom of a certain body part through her t-shirt, and I don't want to corupt any young minds.

I think people are getting way too paranoid about this nudity thing when you have to set the nudity flag for a fully clothed character. There's more nudity in a G rated Disney movie than I see in this scene.

Fazzel, I've inadvertantly caused problems in the forum before, with images that some people felt were inappropriate. I would rather set the flag and have those people pass by, than have someone complain. I've been working on this picture for a while now, and some of the renders show more. I didn't bother to examine this version to see if it was warranted, and just figured better safe than sorry. In no way was this intended to imply that I felt there was any paranoia about nudity in the forum. And before anyone complaines that I used the nudity flag when there was none, to get more attention or what not, "are you new? this is the most clothing I've put on a figure in a long time." xenic101 www.rendergods.com

Lol, yeah Xenic, knowing you, I would've expected a *NVIAWSWAB.;-) *naked Vicky in a window seat with a book

i have to say, the scene's excellent, but i hope you're gonna go further with the chick :) drac

This is great! But I'd set her a little lower on the seat. Maybe up the render quality a touch..? 0.02p

And in my final hours - I would cling rather to the tattooed hand of kindness - than the unblemished hand of hate...

Love the light and the general look, but: she's out of scale. No window seat I know of makes people look so small. Especially the cushions. But I may be wwrong. I'd also crop the pic so the wall on the right disappears. That is, the dark grey flat area just draws the eye from the subject cause it's so different from the rest of the pic. And I'd add a bit more light to her face. Yeah, lower her a bit.

Ah, another thing. Shadows on the seat lean to the left, while those on the floor are straight.

I'm not really qualified to comment, (but s*ddit, I'll try..) As I first viewed this my eye scannned the (very impressive) windows, hovered for a while over the figure, thought "drat! Not nude - ignore it" (but then remembered that this is a WIP), then followed the line back left to the rock.... ROCK?? What's a rock doing there?? Aahhh.., it's not a rock, it's a cushion... (but it took me a second or 2 to realise that...) But it needs the shadows darkened under it...:-) Afterwards I saw the unfinished bit on the right, but expect that that will be sorted later.. Also, the "rock" behind the figure should also have more shadow below it (there's always a dark shadow under cushions, they project it themselves, part of cushion culture, vol 3, section 2.:-)) ) Cheers, Diolma (And I expect you were going to address that anyway..)
