@tijnkroon Nice job finishing the class. You wrapped up your treasure chest quite well. Overall the materials’ reflectivity is subtle which gives it a more of a diffuse look, kinda like claymation. So to me the wood doesn’t appear laquered and the metal doesn’t read obviously like metal *at first glance*. However as I study it closer I certainly can tell it’s metal and non-laquered wood is plenty reasonable.
Personally I like to see more reflectivity involved mostly because I think reflections make for more interesting renders. BUT this is a subjective preference and not a rule by any means. The only other note I have is that the edge wear and tear is subtle where I would recommend to increase the effect to draw more attention to the lovely geometric details.
In conclusion, all my notes are subjective. You’ve more than accomplished the assignment and you finish the class with another A. Nice work, Tijn!
