First Scene

wip
1

This is the first real scene I have ever created using Maya (or any 3D program for that matter) and I would like to know what I could do to make it feel more real and alive. Thanks.

Geocities wont allow me to link to it directly so you'll have to click on the thumbnail to see the picture.

The sparkle on the water and the fountain water where added in photoshop afterwards, but the rest was rendered in maya.

That's a nice start.. I think the fog is bit heavy and is making the scene kindof dull. It would also be nice if the grasss was not a texture map but actualy had some blades in the foreground.

Very nice, great sense of fore/mid/background going on, and composition.

If I were you I'd look more into modeling, texturing, lighting rendering etc. techniques, go through as many tutorials as I could.. cos as it's coming along it can only turn out nicely.
