Description
"I knew she was trouble the moment she came through the door. she didn't open it first"
"His eyes followed her across the room. She rolled them back to him"
"She had legs that went on for miles.
It took 3 hours for her to sit"
"It was cold in the city. Someone had left a window open again.... I knew I needed a case. Things were tight. I couldn't get my swimsuit in....."

amazing realism, ek :) i can almost smell the cigarette smoke filling the room. Vote!
YOU NAILED IT SWEETS!!! Well done. It looks great to me. I especially like the smoke from the cigarette. Very nicely done. Nice to quote the chat. People are gonna think we're crazy. Which we're not. Gotta go, nurse says it's time for my meds.
perfect, you deserve a hot20 vote for this. excellent! :)
You are now officially "the Rendergoddess of Rooms" V
hei a perferct crime scene! the light is simply perfect, full of suspance
This is like the opening scene of a 'murder she wrote' crime thriller.....excellently composed with stunning lighting, well done V ;)
This is one of the better "room" pieces I have seen in a while. It is very crisp and clean, yet it still gives the proper mood. Without softening the shadows of the blinds you have still made them look great!
Great Job!
Here's looking at you(and your render)kid! I really like the "noir" feel to this. Lots of detail. Excellent stuff.
That turned out really good. I love your attention to detail and perseverance. And now you know how to render in under a week.
You know, I followed everything except the bit about the swimsuit... Then I saw it was from RenderGods - explained EVERYTHING! LOL! Love the scene. Now you know your next one has to have a body and some blood!
Great results with the lighting Ek - it's turned out brilliantly
Awesome image, congrats on making the hot 20 with it too!
Excellent lighting and mood!!! Beautiful!!!
This is excellent! I love the light through the blinds, great detail! He should keep that gun holstered though...might shoot an eye out, lol :) **
Great lighting!!!!
Nicely done, very nicely done. You have with your visualy as well as with your words created a work of art that is a modern day rendering of old gum shoe stories from the 40's that I find myself enjoying more and more these days. I particuly love the shadows on the wall from the window blines. Please consider a series based on this one. Outsanding work of art
I think you did a great job of selecting your best! This is excellent!
