Re: Pwnisher NEW 3D Render Challenge w/ INSANE Prizes! | Chasm's Call
Well, it's a bit of both isn't it ?
On one hand, I don't think Pwnisher has any single cynic bone in his body and his challenges manage to carry the old school feel of otherwise long gone exciting community efforts (Vertex, Dominance War...) - and the inspiring results speak for themselves.
On the other hand, the end product is still free advertising for a bunch of sponsors, and many views for monetized Youtube channels (Pwnisher and Corridor). So even though they don't directly exploit the files (the contestants only provide final rendered shots, not source files) and the top entries do receive some form of compensation, all parties certainly have to be careful when drafting their license agreements for how the work is allowed to be used - not just for this specific challenge, but in general.
All that said, best of luck to everyone entering the challenge !

Re: How can I make these textures read as more realistic?
I feel like the lighting is a big enemy at this stage-- I'd recommend bringing it into Unreal and mocking up the lighting, and seeing how things look then.
I think the wall is probably too bumpy, and I'm used to lace tablecloths having borders around them, where yours just kind of tiles and cuts off sharply.
My other issues are, the vase and the curtains, just because of their lack of proper transparency/translucency.
Another thing would be, to pay attention to the construction of the table. I'd expect the tabletop to either be a central sheet of veneer, with trim around the edges (in which case, the grain would follow the tabletop border), or a solid thin slab (in which case, you'd see end-grain on the thinner side of the tabletop, and otherwise it'd go straight lengthwise)--- here're a couple of photos, because it's hard to explain. The first has the trim around it, the second image is showing the end grain of a single beveled slab.
The last photo is showing oak end grain, which is what your table looks like it would be made out of.
In general I always recommend 3D artists really take a look at furniture and how it's constructed. It helps a lot.
Edit:: I forgot to say, it looks good! I don't think it's far off, at all.

This is my entry in progress - a quantum agi that's chosen the aspect of Janus - representing the dual state of the majarona fermion. Does not support Khan or moobs. Dreams of world peace. Does not care about scarves. There's also a little guy with a hard hat.

Re: Pwnisher NEW 3D Render Challenge w/ INSANE Prizes! | Chasm's Call
I sifted through the youtube comments, and lol... you actually asked. I haven't been able to figure out if you've been trolling us this entire time Nikhi but I think this actually gives it away that you need to step outside and touch some grass. How you haven't gotten banned is beyond me. You're frequently taking over and derailing threads with the most ridiculous replies. I'm not really complaining so much because the wack stuff you write is so entertaining. I have a scarf that looks like that and if I got a batshit insane comment on it like yours, I'd ignore you too.

Re: Pwnisher NEW 3D Render Challenge w/ INSANE Prizes! | Chasm's Call
No offence, but you seem to have some kind of neuroses about "what will the public think of ________?" You're doing the same thing as you did in the other threads you made or hijacked; suggesting that because some idiot could interpret something a certain way, it shouldn't be done. But unfortunately, in this and every other case, it's you. You're the guy.
Nobody is looking at this guy wearing a scarf and reading it as a political statement except you. It simply isn't that deep. You're just choosing to look at these things from the angle you want to and projecting your feelings onto everyone else.
