Original Kowloon Alley WIP

This scene was also created in the previous semester. We each had to create an alleyway. I was very disappointed with how this image turned out. The lighting is not very good. The scene is supposed to be in Hong Kong, yet it looks like it's in the middle of a desert. Not only that, there's nothing on the ground!

I spent too much time making the geometry look good really close up, but I was unable to render this scene with my smoothed objects due to large texture files and a ridiculous poly count. One last thing, I couldn't figure out how to fix the ambient occlusion from rendering too dark. I have since discovered that changing the "max distance" parameter to "5" solves this problem.

Here you go, but be sure to check out the new render above or on the Gallery page!
