@notcastanza nice job finishing strong, Ben! I really like the golden illumination coming from the inside the chest. It’s a good way to foreshadow the treasure inside.
I have a couple suggestions to offer:
- The point lamp inside is noticeable as a distinct small point of light. Therefore it reads more like a tiny flashlight than a chest full of shiny gold. To fix this you can just move the lamp further down into the bottom of the chest and possibly increase the strength.
- Overall the image is pretty dark. This is reasonable if the focus is mostly aimed at the golden glow however it hides a lot of great detail that you put into the model and texture:

- At this particular camera angle I can’t tell what the wood floor is. We’re just seeing the ends of the wood boards and it’s probably better to hide the floor if it’s not going to be more obvious.
I hope those are helpful notes. It’s a B+ from me this week. Congrats on finishing the class strong, Ben!
