this truly is incredible. great textures (i mean that in the sense and feel of the walls and such). good modeling, good character, and composition, though i feel there is a little too much head room and the pans and beams holding them should be raised. (maybe i havent seen the complete scene yet).

the question i keep asking myself though is what does this have to do with 'sport.' I keep thinking.., 'the American iron Chef.'

lm not sure if it benefits from mental ray?? it looks very 'occluded' (if thats the word) soft shadows with no particular light source or direction. (i am aware it is not finished and its early to make such comments).

i like the control of spot lights and light linking and a light given source.

great work wish i could model like that !!
