C4D Test

[Fragma]

Here's a little something I've been working on today. I tried to create a scene which had realistic lighting and reflections, without actually using any lights, or GI. The whole scene is lit through Luminance textures, and the shadows were created with AO. I plan to render out an animated version of this sometime in the next few days. I also think some of the wall textures could do with being tweaked a bit, so I'll do that for the animation. What you guys think?

Thanks, although it was done in Cinema 4D, not PS.

C4D is always good, but there is only so much you can do with one program

That's true, though you can do an extraordinary amount of things with Cinema.

That is very nice. The rendering probably took hours on end.

It took about 5 minutes. When you don't use lighting or GI, it seriously reduces rendering time, which is part of why I took up this challenge. I also optimized my render settings and kept track of my poly usage.

Seriously? That's crazy fast.
