Looks very yummy, great work!

texture of the icing looks fine -- but the cake does not really look like cake -- maybe another texture would look better

The reflections are too deep. It looks like everything is sitting on a 1" deep piece of reflective glass, especially the coaster under the teapot. It shouldn't really have any reflection at all due to its proximity to the tiled counter.

Also, if the counter surface is so mirror reflective, why are the walls not reflecting anything at all?

The light source should be illuminating the top of the teapot, since it is above the pot and cups, but the top of the teapot is very hard to visually make out...

The overall composition of the components is nice, and the sugar bowl looks quite realistic.

The counter is shiney , i wanted it to look like a mirror and the walls are reflecting a little bit. Obviously they have the same texture but its not mirror like. There are two light sources. The pot is fine as is, i used my own pot as a reference and it looks like one single black thing in real life. Hard to see any detail, very neat from a distance. Thanks for the opinion.

Ok, thanks Mircea! Ill change the wall to something more normal and less distracting. Ill see what I can do about the objects. Rendering is new for me, but I have trouble redoing and redoing..cause it takes so long to render! I will try once more, but thats all I have patience for LOL! Thanks for the comments much appreciated!

Ok, Im willing to try anything once! Thanks for that.

Yeh... gloop is right, it's totally discusting...

Great job author...well done

Nice site, thanks for sharing.but i was learing tutorial in only one site which is

http://www.tutorials99.com

New web designer try this.its really useful for you. Professional and top page rank tutorials

OMG.. I totally missed these contests... (I didn't realize that my settings defaulted to only the 2d contests.. I missed out on these contest totally... has been corrected... never let this happen again

ACK... by the way.. My mum and I's favorite soup (gloop) is tomato.. though she makes me add extra milk to make it super creamy... (as a 3D render this is excellent.. as a piece of art.. it's perfection) this would be catastrophic as an entryway image to a restaurant.. it would hard to get people to sit and eat.. they would be to busy staring at the image LOLOL

Excellent!

Does it look blurry to you? Or smudgy? It didn't look like that in the render window! Thank you Ponti55!

Good. Blender is a difficult program and this is a fine beginning. Take it easy with reflections and things will improve for sure.

For being your first render you did a decent job! There's a lot of tweaking that needs to be done though. The glass isn't correct transparent and should refract (look for glass tutorials about that). As for the texturing you should smooth the surfaces and add bump maps.

Thank you dka120. There's still plenty of time left. Hopefully I will be able to learn how to fix it.

This looks great to me, it's your first 3D render and it's very impressive! The reflections are excellent and the materials look good. The cake does look a tad bit blurry, but not enough to worry about. You could do some post work in photoshop if you wanted to.

I made some adjustments to the Ray Transp Refract (IOR) bar, and others, on the cake cover. I also set it to fade to sky color.

nice surreal athmosphere but need more work.

too bright

i have not worked with 3d, however visually and for a first time entry i think this is just FAB! Can not wait to see what you produce in the future.. GL

very nice

Thanks everyone for the kind and constructive comments!
