it looks too evenly lit throughout and there's what seems to be a distinct lack of shadows... i know there are shadows of the pole and pillar, but they're not very noticeable, which makes it look odd and somehow washed out. i believe this scene would look great if you were to work on the lighting... but i don't think just adding simple ambient occlusion would help that much

And maybe a layer on the wood to make it more "woody" and less uniform.

Your right neostrider it was to evenly lit.So I added some hard lighting.It came out great.Thanks for the help.Originally posted by NeoStrider
the texturing is really nice along the furnace piping along the top, the rest seems just a little bland, but i don't think it's really a texturing issue, i think it's a lighting issue.

I actually like the wood and I did darken the scene and added harsher light which really made the scene stand out thank for the advice.Originally posted by jm82792
Darker with some light fog would help

(oh also, i like the peeling paint texture on the back wall... reminds me of my un-waterproofed basement walls lol)

I wanted it to feel like a harsh light is coming in.:pOriginally posted by GecT
yeah its an improvement. though it doesnt feel very "furnace roomy" looks like theres a huge window flooding in harsh white light. i'm no expert but i dont think you fiddle w/ the shadow lightness until you've blocked out your lighting situation. a light w/ a tiny bit of warmth, and dark shadows w/ a teeny tiny bit of softness would help. then you can start w/ the gi and all that other good stuff.

i think that in a cellar type environment even with a strong light source coming through a door, the shadows would almost be pitch black...
otherwise look up some global illumination tutorials, add some slight depth of feild and some light fog would be a must in an environment that would be so full of dust!
keep up the good work..

it looks like you've applied the textures without doing much further work on it. for example the wooden pillar looks like it just has a wooden texture added to it. i'd imagine in a dank cellar the wood would have much more variation with dirt at the bottom and top and maybe some other marks.
the brown rusted doors on the right look like they have a 'clean' rusted texture - there should be grime and dirt at the edges and again more variation in the specular maps and bump.
hope i don't sound too harsh - keep at it banksta!

I'm going to move this to the WIP thread while you try different things. When you get it right, then re-post it back to the Finished Work thread.
