Looking at your SBS, really nice detail.

Good work here, author, especially nice details on the cup lids, straw shape and creamer packets.

i think the cup material is a bit thick, it wont be really pleasant to drink from a cup with such a thick border and the ear seems a bit small other then that it looks good

I thought i allready commented but it seems not there so ill retype it. The material of the cup is too thick to really enjoy drinking from, the ear of the cup sems a bit small to me ) good render though, looks good to me

My mom had these glass mugs, I forget what they're called. Had a nice floral pattern etched into them. I have a set now. But she always made our hot chocolate in them. That's what this reminds me of. Because I've never seen anyone else drink hot drinks out of a clear, glass cup before other than me and my mom. Nice render.

I love how you did the beans. It almost looks like I could reach in and pluck one up.

I like Your creativity, you used in it.

Your concept of the coffee beans 'crawling' up the handle and side of the cup is very odd, and the sbs leaves out a lot of info. IMHO, the beans are all very dark and out of focus, while the cup seems to be fairly sharp. No real definition between the surface that the cup and beans are on, and the wall behind. Also, there's a bright highlight on the cup, so I'm wondering why the beans are not lit as well. Interesting start, but could use some tweaks.

Sorry to disagree, author, but look at the light spot that you have low on the cup - and the beans that are right up against it - very big difference in the sharpness of the two, I'd say they have basically the same DOF. So again, if there is a light right there, why aren't at least those few beans up against the cup where the light is, also lit up?

Look again at the beans that are on the bottom surface/table, right in the horizontal center, the area is extremely dark, so much so that it is difficult to distinguish between the beans. I may not know how the 3D programs work, but I'm not blind, either. And even in a studio setup, a little definition would add visual interest, and a touch of reality. To say 'bean done' may mean something to those who work with these programs, but for those of us who check out these entries and do not, it leaves a lot of questions. I calls 'em like I sees 'em.

This is too blurry pearlie is right with her obsevations.

nice work... looks like the set u was put on a black to white gradient, like i use in my table top studio set up to give the impression of infinity... well done and congratulations on 3rd place.

Congrats

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.
