Description
This was originally created as a background for a piping class advertisement. It turned out to be a much bigger project than I had originally planned but I think it turned out just fine.

Well done, it has a kind of creepy X-Files environment about it. Great detail with the leaking pipe on the floor and I think the reflection is perfect.
Details like the puff of stream, the pressure gauge, the toolbox and gouges in the floor add to the appeal.
Sweet work Kixum! Awesome texturing.
Very good job
the steam puff is really nice, and i like the attention to detail (water trickle running into the drain and overall complexity of the scene) but the composition is kind of boring. i think you've got a great little environment here, and i think it could look really interesting if it weren't centered and symmetrical. also the light looks kind of even on the floor. cutting it in places would add some tension to the scene. i know i'm making a lot suggestions, but that's only because its good enough to. -pix
I have to agree with pix. The left and right side walls look to be evenly lit to me. Having the amount of lights running down the center of the walkway should produce a considerable amount of darker fade on both sides and even on the center section with fall off. Steam from this size of pipe should be under considerable pressure and when vented, will look like a jet blast. Even a small opening with this size of pipe should produce a small amount of a small jet with a plume dispersing first hi then cooling and falling low with less density. As it heats it will fill that section of the room with light clouds unless the steam is cooled in another way?
The heat and mechanical feel are opposed by the electrical grate. The mind chooses the red wheel then realizes the green is a better choice. In the end the focus is the toolbox ignoring the warning sign as always there.
tr,tr magnifique realisation,bravo
