Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

also - the walls look a little empty - might be nice to get some art deco looking lamps on them and maybe add some other details as well.
you should also stagger the heights of the seats - you don't really get seats all on the same level in a cinema.
as for populating the theater you could maybe use instances? or just put a really crappy film on the screen - so that it doesn't matter that it looks so deserted.
last, let's get some trash in there - lots of it - i've never gone to a cinema that didn't have a shed load of trash on the floor!

your other WIP is a room at night and Mirek didn't like how it was so dark, and now you got movie theatre which looks like it has too much light! :p
you could use the billboard strategy... just texture on the backs of people to some poly planes and duplicate them over
when i made a crowd for an earlier project i just made a real low poly sphere with a real low poly cylinder for the body and lofted some arms so the cowd was holding up their arms cheering.
you could just make some spheres and modify another to make it look like hair
arran posted just as i was typing my reply :p
come to think of it, why is the floor horizontal? someone who's tall and in front of me will be blocking my view!
you need a door at the front too, one that says exit, because don't theatres have to have at least two exits incase of a fire? one at front and back?
i dunno...

The next point is, I think the the seat at the left and right corner in the front have a too low range of viewing the movie. So the movie wall must be a little bit larger.

All the ones where I live do. And a bunch of wall sconces too.Originally posted by Chirone
speakers? do movie theatres have speakers visible? i can't remember....
As for the ceiling, you might want to break it up and add some angles, as the acoustics of flat surfaces, well they suck. That is partially why the floors are angled too, although it helps with the viewability of the theater.
Lights on the edges of the aisles might be good too.
Keep at it man!
Peace, love and Anarchy~~~~~~~
