Focused Critique – Episode 11

Focused critique is the segment where I review your artworks, and suggest ways they could be improved. This session is aimed at helping serious artists improve their skills by highlighting areas that could be improved.
All the artworks are submitted by the artist, who have given me consent to review them.

    I really like your focussed critiques. I like the professionalism of the videos. I think you can consider to have them broadcasted on TV and get some money from that and more viewers.

  • Dylan

    Some awesome renders here, especially the basketballs and the mech. @Andrew Are we allowed to send in multiple different images per month?

  • Zichen Liu

    Great! Im overjoyed to see my render finally being critiqued. : )

    I really like the basketball scene, it looks awsome – the faking of the Indirect lighting and global illumination must have taken ages! Tone down the bumpmapping of the floor a touch to make it perfect. Great work

  • Gabriel Bramböck

    Wow, I love that image with the basketballs! Can´t believe that´s Blender Internal! I think you should really enter the 2.60 Splash Screen Contest with this!

    It would be really cool to have a focused critique follow up episode for each month where the renders are improved by the people that sent them in. The would be cool for the reason that you could see the improvements.

    Great Mech. Would have looked even nicer in a steppe with glaring sun in the background, I think.

    Hi Andrew. I sent an image for FC. I don’t mind if you didn’t choose it, but when i uploaded it the page just keep saying “one moment please” and loading for over an hour. I didn’t want to spam so i never tried again. Could you tell me did you recive it. It’s knight rendered in Cycles. Aslo i seen in comments that some other people had same problem, so maybe some sort of notification?
    Thanks for all your effort!!!
