Wow, awesome model and inspiring scene. Great job.
Im wondering why it's called the plunge?

2 point of criticism.
- I got stuck on the stairs before I realised the walktrough cam is actually a flythrough cam
- If it's for the competition I would replace the music if it's from warcraft 3. You can not submit work of which you do not own the rights.

[ali rahimi shahmirzadi]

Thanks Yorick van Vliet.
About the music are you sure? may act3d guys tell me if i can use that music or not?

[Yorick van Vliet]

It says this in the rules. Offcourse I don't know how strict they will be in enforcing these.

5: Other rules
You may only enter work created by you and the company you created the job for. You must have the copyright to the work so you can grant us permission to use your work and derivatives of your work for promotional purposes.

[Peter Hou]

Impressive graphics, Ali

Regarding the music, I think Yorick is right. Act-3d won't be able to legally use your work for promotional purposes unless you've created the music yourself or licensed it for the demo.

[micha_kobald]

ali the music is great as I told you. But be aware of copyright issues. I ditn't knewn of any issue before. So perhaps you should change the music.

[ali rahimi shahmirzadi]

Ok. Thanks for the help. I change the music. 

[Carsten Schonart]

I like the scene very much.
Depth of field is nice!

Does anyone know what´s the most actual or "best" DOF-solution in Quest? 

[Tom Beddell]

Great modelling, lightmapping and lighting! Reminds me of Azure Temple

Hello Ali,

Great Work! I love your style and your designes!
I have some questions about your work:

Why do u make a ~200 mb big single cgr file?
Why is the project so big at all? Textures?
Could you consider to take a non compressed texture format for the diffuse maps, just because the dxt artefacts are really heavy and distroying the nice lighting.
You are aming for a kind of realism; Did you do the hard edges on the cubic structures consciously, is it a part of your model style?
What do u think about more different materials?.

thx

cheers
