update

I'd like feedback on the new render. I changed a lot and am looking for advice on composition and lighting mostly. Any feedback about anything would be nice though. Ignore the white spec on the glass that is in shadow, I'm still trying to figure out why that's happening.



Current Mission Statements



Lighting : To make the plane pop out but not seem unatural. contrast the orange/red of the plane with the cooler colors surrounding, hoping for a sorta troubled feel colors play a role in that


Composition : Utilize lines of the model to lead the eye to something worth looking at. also: Thinking about adding a little bit of Depth of Field to remove some of the weight of the mass of paint bottles.



Modeling : Break the left wing to be focal point, finish various blades for the x-acto(easy). stand for the plane.


Textures: Create a sense of realism

Overall: Make a piece the New York Times reporter would be interested in.

Test Post

Update from the "midterm"

Welcome

Hey there, fallows. Here is a run-down of how to utilize this space.

To save on time and confusion:

When you post, please add your name as a label, so we can easily sort through the information.
While writing your post you can click on the "Labels" option (picture on right) and it will let you add labels. You might also add a label  to decribe what has changed in the update like "texture" or "modeling, texture, color, lighting, Jedi". Try to maintain the same naming convention as others so the list of labels on the right side of this blog doesn't get huge.

There should also be a list of previously used labels that you can click on to add.

Originally I was planning to have a page for everyone, but there is a max of 20 pages.

Happy posting!
