TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #3

Surprisingly this is a pretty tough scene for me to get through. I didn't realize it before, but there are a lot of different environments appearing for the first time, and some the only time: clothing store, hotel lobby, hotel room, streets near hotel, restaurant, Jimmy B's. So a lot more work than I originally thought. There is one image I've had a hard time with. The one in the hotel lobby! The lobby I've got is great, but the lighting has been a real PITA. I've rendered it but I'm not happy with it at all. I also rendered two images before I realized that MC's shirt was too dark and boring, so I changed it to the gray & white henley you see in one of the images here and re-rendered. The original shirt would not have shown up well in dark nighttime scenes.

Anyway, there aren't that many more images to do in this scene, and thankfully I've already created Jimmy B's bar, so I should be finishing and ready to move onto the next scene Friday, where Kerren appears. More sexy-time!
