nice modelling and texturing work.

My only suggestion would be maybe to work in a cloth feel to the canopys and parasoles. They look quite rigid as they are.

Also the lighting looks a little neutral, maybe add a more obvious 'kick' of light reflection from the sun. This also maybe the reason why the church in the background looks fake against the backdrop. Not much sence of light direction.

Very nice job with modelling and texturing though, looks like a stage set for a great performance, nice work and good luck with your short.

Great job on the modeling. I expecially like the grainy effect you have with the depth of field.. Nice work.

There's nothing normal about normals. In FACT i think the are abnormal.

laurie,

hehehe...ok...anyway thanks again...soon i'll play more with the photons...i been wanting that effect since the first test render i did...but i cant really get it right...i have been compromising on the render times..maybe thats why i didnt achieved what i have been looking for...anyway...update this one soon...

antiant,

thanks man...the first image didnt really have the DOF turned on..i just edited it on photosho...but on the secong image..i turned it on..and it took me almost 45 mins(an hour tops) to render a frame..tsk tsk..anyway.hope to hear more from you soon

cheers

I know... the thing is once you start to add like final gather, global illumination, motion blur etc, you render time for one frame starts at like two hours. And then it's out of the question to render a movie, unless you wanna wait for a year or so or have a render farm...
