Description
This is my entry into the February Challenge, and my second Vue project overall. It took 5 hours and 23 minutes to render, has 100 objects and 15 lights. I made the tomb, coffin, candle holders, sword and torch in Wings3D. The woman and clothes are standard issue Poser 4. I was not real happy with the final lighting, but after messing around with it over and over finally accepted it as "good enough". And I definitely need to learn more on how to apply procedural textures in Vue. Slight post work on her dress with PaintShop Pro. Things I'd like to have done better: textures on the beams and candle holders, and better fog. Would love to know how to make swirling mists flow out of the two fonts. Critiques are welcome.

I think it looks pretty good! You've definitely got a spooky atmosphere going.

I think you did OK with your lighting and materials. Don't sweat it, though, it only comes with practice.Good modeling, too. You can sort of get a "swirling mist" with the volumetric smoke materials applied to stretched spheres, but the density and the lighting has to be just right.

As Mike mentioned, practice will deliver. You've got a great beginning, just keep going! :)
