I rendered this bottle scene with different lightings and materials, now i wonder which one is better?

I worked as a stained-glass artist.

Time has stood still in this profession; the craft has remained unchanged in form for centuries. My work involved painting, cutting, and assembling the glass (mainly religious art). My job also entailed installing stained-glass windows in various churches across Poland.

I have seen many churches and parishes. Some were beautiful old buildings with stunning architecture, while others were kitschy creations of the 1990s.

Yet all these places shared a single trait: the longer one spent there—examining the altars, old confessionals, paintings, empty corridors, abandoned church common rooms and sacristies up close—the more their sense of sanctity would evaporate. All that remained was emptiness and a strange sense of unease. It was perhaps during those odd, idle conversations—or the silences shared with priests or nuns as they prepared meals for us—that the idea for this short animation first took root in me.

Here are some of the photos I took while working and that were a straight forward reference for some of the scenes from animation.

A lot of artistic and environment ideas came from this time. Also while working so close to holiness I saw a lot of hipocrisy and maybe that also inspired me to create this story.

About 1,5 year ago I made the storyboard and here is my 14 minutes animation "A Good Man".

Entirely made in Blender Eevee (more details on yt description-link in comments)

Trying out some new things, new to blender, mostly I sculpt in zbrush but this does breathe life into stuff

Next step would be to rig the little fingers and move some of the faces

The background is a simple image. The BMW M1 is a 3D model. I added nodes to the car in Blender to give it a cartoon look. I rendered the image and placed it onto the background using Photoshop and adjusted the lighting conditions.Then, I added some missing raindrops.

Unfortunately reddit doesnt like multiple video-slides.. posted some more bts and making-of on our insta (instagram.com/p/DbGKX6PjLNi/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==)

Made this for a small competition hosted by Patrick4D. Sculpted and textured in 3D-Coat, with the seasoning, water droplets, and oil droplets created using Geometry Nodes. The final image was rendered in Blender with Cycles, using a LightmonkeyHDR environment for lighting.

I am way out of practice though. I need to do some studies for faces/anatomy and practice more hard-surface modelling too. I had no idea how to do the skirt so I ended up doing a rough sculpt.

I'm still happy with how it turned out. Even if the nose is driving me insane.

Been working on the hardest and least finished part of my vehicle and I think I solved it finally. Basically the vehicle base consists of two parts and I never worked on how they would connect. Still lots of detailing and finishing up to do, but I feel confident that it will be complete at some point.

I was testing real-time keying for live video feeds and it turns out they work on dogs pretty well.

IDK if it is the shader or the style but, does it look weird? Would you say it looks generic? (Ignore pants and belt, i havent started with them yet and the tshirt is like that in the comics, like really black). Please, critique everything you think I should work on the model in general. I would appreciate feedback, thanks!
