I think the candle looks crap. Its a logo for a friends band...He said he wanted a candle and a noose, so I gave him one, can anyone give me any crit by saying whats bad about it, I don't like the name of the band much, but knowing me, I prolly forgot the actual name and put in what I thought it was, well when he's next online I'll ask him.

the center of the candle needs a pretty much white opaque bit, and since its a logo you may aswell meshsmooth everything, and the lighting on the text needs to be brighter or have a better background.

cool thanks, I will meshsmooth (or HyperNURBS is the term I use) them, but kinda ate my render time, and I wanted this up quick for crit.

Lucky, looking through my 3D world Magazines I found a candle light tutorial for Cinema 4D, so I'll use that.
The text uses a glass like shader I made so I'll increase the light intensity of the second light object in the scene

there is too much nothingness, you need to fill the black with somehting, even if its not very visible. as for the candle it needs a lot more detail, like wax dripping down and natural channels of wax flow. also the flame itself should be a lot brighter in the middle and a lot more white and yellow, with it only being red/orange on the outside of the flame.

Hope that helped

@Gir, yeah thanks, I was thinking a dark wooden room with a shadow implying someone was about to hang them selves and the candle is on a wooden table, so some guy is hanging himself in the shed to be discoved by his wife in the morning (Like the guy from feeder did...and now they've gone soft since loosing him)

i think having a noose and a candle is a bit predictable for the name aswell

their latest song should be called Hung up(like hanging up the fun after an argument or breakup but also makes for a good pun)what kind of music is it anyways. If its metal I love them already.

I haven't heard em yet because its Johns new band, his old one the singer and drummer left, its metal, the noose and candle were required by John because it plays the title...it might be an EP name or the band name, the time I spoke to him before that he was having trouble picking names, and he didn't say which it was on MSN

ok i got an idea god knows how you'll model it but oh well ok anywho seeinns though you need to keep the candle and noose its abit hard but anywho enough of the mumbling, why not have a hangmans noose with the platform and everthing and have a rose on the floor with a candle illuminating half of the rose and the noose and the floor and stocks etc.

tis what i would do anywho, hope it helps

its a nice idea, roses are evil to model, I might give it a try, I was thinking of including a background of the inside of a shack and a shadow of a man
