I like this a lot but I think you should really tone down the crystal glow and bring it more like the concept, I think that would help the scene a lot!
This challenge turned out so awesome, too bad I coudn't participate, I love how the crystals are turning out, but Sushifish's one has to be my favorite one heh.
Here is where I am atm. Mostly untextured and unlit. @JamesArk - Cool! Lighting starts to look good, looks like the light is eminating from the crystal! Don´t forget to let some of that sunlight in, it is bright outside.
All these look great guys. I started the centrepiece a couple weeks back as a quick portfolio piece. Here's what I ended up with... View more, including sculpts on my portfolio: http://andrewpottage.com/work/crystal/
Haha, I have to admit I laughed out loud at the fact that you chose to point out the chandelier, which could conceivably be anchored by something out of sight, but seem to be completely fine with the giant blue crystal that's just suspended in midair. :D
That Crystal be looking good! "JamesArk" Are you doing all kinds of shader stuff for it or is just paint? Overall good work! Here is my progress on the pillars. I have other assets going but the textures are still in progress. Mostly trim sheets. Keep it up everyone!
