The Duel 2

Well the scene is a bit different I'll agree there. This being completely rendered in Studio I can't add realistic flames to the candles. As for the carpet. . . I'm not sure why it looks like it is floating. When I tried to lower it, it seemed to go through the floor. Could be a prob with the model. I will try different angles and lighting to get a more real feel for the scene.

The guy on the left looks like Kai, last of the Brunnen G. ;-) The detail is incredible!

Looks like it getting better. It feels more 3d now. The colored lights are giving the scene a cold feel but it is also beautiful. The carpets on places appear to be floating. I'm not sure what you can do about that. The character poses seem quite natural. Nice work. I did not ever think of studio as a renderer. It's nice to see some of what it can do.

Personally, I liked the other camera setting more - it was more dramatic and here it looks more like a theatrical performance. This is - for me - further emphasized by the blue light. I feel myself sitting in the audience. Why not lighting up the candles and the lamps already there? Might prove to be tricky, though. I feel the blue person is the nice and the red the bad one. The poses and expression in their faces seem to support my feeling.
