Well this is my latest pet... the home theater i dream of having some day : )
Keep in mind some of the blocks are the jpg compression, too lazy to recompress it right now. I want feedback on the lighting, composition, and generally everything : ) I know some of the models are simplistic. Where might textures help? Hurt? The floor is actually a carpet texture, should I bring it out more? How about ideas for making the room look more comfortable? End table? Popcorn?
Nice but too dark. The walls could be lighter. I understand that it could work in life and maybe that is what you want but for the picture it is much too dark. There should be light casting from the television. Also I think that since you are going to show two pictures on the wall that obviosuly are being lit from above, show the lights. At least a little bit of them. I like the picture of that hot red head from Fifth Element though. Good choice. The other thing I notice is the color with the three Pictures. The composition and balance are decent but the RED in Akira is very promanent while the La Doce Vita as a muted red cloth which Akira already has as well. If Akira's name was not in the picture then the movement from Akira to Fifth Element and then to La Doce Vita would flow pretty smoothly. At least your eye would not hop to Akira. The frames around the picture should have some color as well, something soft. What about a little table to the side of the couch for drinks and such. Maybe show a remote control lying somewhere to enhance the fact that the tv is not voice operated since it may be hard to have buttons show up from so far away on a black tv. I like the trim on the floor and the design of the tv.
Well, I hope I didn't ream it to bad because it has potential.
Kickin' and Screamin' out of the Womb with a pencil
in hand and now a mouse in my brain.
Been working on it some more...
what still needs work?
looks good, but from an industrial designer point of view, the chairs look uncomfortable... howbout turning it into a sofa?
I really like the general atmosphere of this room. Oh yeah, a popcorn would be good.
the tv should be casting light also, it currently looks like a luminous photo instead.. The shadows shown don't exhibit that bit of detail. I think the clean look of the scene itself is fine and the first, darker shot would be the one I'd add the detail to with respect to the tv casting off light.
Nice, but way to dark.
Maybe use the TV-images together with a spotlight to project the images into the room in that color, giving it some light and a nice "radiosity" effect.
looks Ok!

Actually, for the real ideal home theater, the room should be pitch dark and you should have a neutral dim light behind the tv, shining up on the wall behind it (so your iris doesn't get too used to total darkness, and thus loose track of stuff during high contrast changes on-screen)
So I'm thinking about simulating that somehow, while still having an interesting 3d render... it's tough!
Looks cool, but it's the back light that bugs me.
