Snowy winter scene

Updates on what I have already done. I tweaked the lighting, it isnt finished yet since the candle light hasnt been installed yet.

Im still looking for ways to make quick background trees, and foreground christmas trees both in lowpoly and highpoly.

Then I still need around 50meters of barbed wire.

Some snow fall - but I got that handled.

The test render is already uploaded, it has global illumination already. Any comments, tips, suggestions on how to make it feel more christmasy (ofcourse taking into consideration that I have not created the trees with candles yet)? Any would be appreciated.

With 5 days till Dec21st, the day before my deadline… this is what I have so far.

Everything here is directly modelled - except for the sky and bricks.

Does this scene feel wintery and christmas already?

Any tips besides the candle lights on how to make it feel alot more like Christmas?

With all respect, and the best intentions… I don’t see anything… It’s way to dark. I can’t see bricks, nor snow. I see some dim lights in a dark background and some barely visible poles in the foreground stuck in the ground. I am sure that it will look great once you work on the lighting. Winter nights are really not that dark as the snow reflects a lot of light. I’d introduce a moon and light it brighter without loosing the character of the scene.
Good luck with it!

PS:Maybe google for ‘winter night’ and look at some examples popping up. Then transfer the lighting you like the most to your scene.

That is still a WIP . I did mention in previous posts that the lights are still being worked out. The final image will be PSed and then uploaded to deviant art. I will give the link. It should be done before deadline by the 20th.

This is the newest one. Comments, tips?
