Re: Not quite an animation, but still...

A few things bother me one is the untextured fan, the blankness of the window, the texturing on the shelves, the bed frame, and the desk, in fact its the wood texture. You should have used some UVW Mapping Correction, and another problem I spotted was the Music note wallpaper rim, it is a pure white;
3d scenes look fake for 2 reasons
-Bad modeling
-Bad texturing
Models look great and so does most of the texturing it is just that your scene needs some dirt, while lighting creates realism it is truly in the dirt. Create a dirt map and blend it into your textures, no need to re render the entire scene once you do this, simple render the top, save just than and paste it onto the old one.

Another thing is the bed frame model itself, the balls seem to just be pasted on top of it. Granted there is bed frames like this it just looks strange.

In the long run great job, and I absolutely love your cloth texture used on the chair and on the bed. Perhaps you could send it to me or tell me how you made it.

One more thing that bothers me about your scene is the fact that there is no wires, none for the computer none for the stereo none for the lamp while they are not vital they are a very nice thing to add to create a much more real scene, also throw in an outlet or too.

Another thing I wish to ask is about this assignment. Is it for a class, if so what exactly was the assignment, or was it a forum challenge? I've done forum challenges and told my parents it was for school so they would get off my back.
Sorry long and hypocritical post.
