Hey guys, im gonna start up an animation soon. Its about the troubles of newlyweds . I spent the entire day modeling and texturing (which I dont enjoy doing), so I just wanna get to animating. The outside scene will have rain added, just havent gotten there yet. Crits are more than welcome!

Hey Denny.. it's definitly look interesting, and I am courious what this guy is going to do in the animation.
I sopose this is a early WIP, so I will not comment your modeling and texturing (though, you could consider to already start breaking repetitive tiles on your textures), but I will like to make a note or 2 for the lightning.
The interior scene, imho, should not have this kind of raytrace (sharp) shadows, bouth from the tv screen and standing lamp. The shadow needs to be much blured, or even area blurred (the far the shadow is from the object, the blured shadow it is). You could consider also to put 4 omni's (max user?) for the TV screen , or soften the specular glow for this one.
If you don't use GI (and I'am preaty shoore you don't), you just need to wach out where the light is strongest. For example... you have an omni inside your lamp, and this omni have intensity 1. Look where this omni lights up your scene at strongest intensity, and put there another omni with intensity 0.4 or less and with wider range, and very...very soft (blurred) difuse shadows. Also put some omni's at the middle of all your walls (exclude every omni from his wall, but give them simiular colour) and also turn on wide range (attuenation) with blurred shadow map.
As for the exterior scene... you tell that it is going to rain... so I think that some blueish-gray atmosphere could fit perfect with that.
hey, I appreciate the comments! Unfortunately I gave up on this project, but I will definately take your comments and improve upon my other works. Thanks a bunch!
