Shadowy Room

[nulogiks]

Hello everyone, this is a project i have been working on for a while during my free time. Its my very first scene that i v created all from scratch and i plan to use it on a portafolio im working on atm. It was done in maya, rendered in M ray. took about 15 mins to render. any insight on where I can improve it is highly appreciated.

More ambient light (more candles?) at the edges of the room to give hint of the bookshelves details. Otherwise, a very good start!

Thanks for the response, i will work a lil more on the lightning to get that extra detail out. I was also thinking of making the metal where the crystal ball stands more shining, something along the chrome look.

Sure, good idea! Maybe you can add a slight self-glow to the crystal ball, or add some other sort of atmospheric light...
