Hi all! This is my first submission to the Finished Work section of the site. It was a modeling, texturing, and more specifically lighting exercise for school made. Vertex paint was used to blend the textures and break the tiling effect so I never had to paint on a UV map. Textures were made by combining images in Photoshop. The scene was rendered using Max's default scanline renderer (with light tracer) at double the resolution, no anti-aliasing, then scaled down. The lighting is a directional light and a few bounce lights using area shadows as well as a subtle glow lens effect around the door for the daylight scene. You can view the original reference photo on my website.
I modeled and textured in a hurry due to other school assignments, but the main idea was to light this scene properly, hopefully I managed to do it right. It is what took the most time, and I would have liked to work more on it but school is closed for the vacations.
Crits appreciated, especially about the lighting. Thank you for viewing the artwork!
