Not too bad. Music was quite nice. As a demo its pretty much there, but as a wild I felt the lighting and materials really let it down - they're more like mid-2000s realtime than a sexy looking render.

Thanks for the critique. I wanted to do a bit more visually, but I strugled with the net-render, and gave up halfway, since a lot of stuff was not even modeled yet. Also, I decided not to use dynamic lights, to preserve time.
the first half was quite nice but then it looked not so good. music is decent. overall i kinda liked it.

needs better design and colors... but, good work anyway

betasector: it's not just dynamic lights it needs. Ideally it needs some kind of GI / AO to make the lighting pretty, but if that's not practical (probably not if you're in a rush :) then static lighting could be a lot better. Lighting is an essential skill for 3D work by the way - it's just as important as modelling I think. A well lit cube can look better than a badly lit but high quality model.

I'd suggest, say for the screenshot, a rim light (placed behind the objects and just slightly to one side. That would give it more definition. Also, possibly a weak, distant light pointing directly upwards and coloured light brown, set to only light the blue tentacles - this would give you a fake reflected light from the floor.

Both should be set to no shadows of course :)

Strange, AO was turned on... But yeah, lighting should have been taking more than just some lamps. Thanks again :)

Some nice bits cannot compensate the overall visual ugliness

Can't understand how it came last - needs a little polish, but IMO it's only just a little bit off greatness!
