Hi,

I just dug up some old source files I did for a project (Les Mis :)). 
This is supposed to be the Paris sewer.  This particular rendering is
not the best, but it works.  The sewer extends beyond this viewpoint
into 15 other points, but at about 24 hours render time each it would
take too long.

The blocks were hand positioned once, and then run through by a
#declare, appropiatley translated.

Yann

The render time is probably so long because of the superellipsoids...it 
might go faster if you used a CSG of spheres, cylinders, and boxes...or 
an isosurface.
Using isosurfaces would also allow you to make more irregularly shaped 
blocks.

Also, you might want to make a visible source for that light...right 
now, it seems to be coming from nowhere. Maybe a flashlight poking up 
through the...er, sludge. Or make it look like it is lit up by a 
flashlight held by the viewer. A hint: use radiosity so the flashlight 
illuminates indirectly. MegaPOV can really help in this.

It is prob. just me but I think the crand on the foreground textures is a bit
too much.

I actualy did have a flashlight once (spotlight with a nice umbra). 
Didn't always illuminate correctly though.  The light in this frame is
supposed to simulate sunlight from the grate above.

Looks like it.  The scary part its an internal POV texture (Granite
something or another).  Anyway want the (big) source?

I think the lighting looks pretty realistic, just the water looks very plain and
regular.  There would be probably some waste and dirt swimming on it...

As already mentioned, the blocks could be more irregular, also in placement.  

I much like the arrangement of this scene.

it looks to uniform to me, and a bit 'grainy?'

apart from that, looking good - especially the texturing
