Great image, except for the closed gate at the top of the steps...Not very welcoming! Really nice work on the stone and brick sides.

Thanks for your comments MossyB. Actually i want to have a uniqueness in my work, so only i brought the old damaged door in between this modern compound wall and welcome mat.....

Superb render....How did you bring the natural look of the mat...?

Hi redgreenblue i applied a cloth modifier to a box with higher number of segments and simulated the animation and then converted the box into editable poly and then applied a shell modifier to give some thickness.The texture was hand painted in photoshop.

nicely done

nice work but its like carpet more then mat.

Nice Job Congrats on your Win

Nice, except for the too dark shadow in the center.
The textures and perspective are very well done.

Thanks @MossyB, the dark shadow in the center is actually dirt not shadow

Nice mat. I'm sure this mat is special for a dog No cat allowed unless they can bark lol

lolz nice work, i guess thats a very social dog ^^

Nice Congrats

Good stuff here.

Change the wooden material on the door, and also change the projection method. Add a rim to the mat and displacement to the bricks. Also try making the bike yourself if its in your scene. Those are just my suggestions to make this a better entry.

Nice Congrats

The heavy shading on the sides, with the center lighter makes the "Welcome" hard to read, and is somewhat contrary to the fact that generally, mats are dirtier in the center from foot traffic. Your light source is not clearly defined, as it looks like it is coming from the lower left, when logic would dictate it should be from the upper right, as a porch light.
The "dirt" is too light, and looks like dandruff.

The textures are beautiful, and the rendering itself is quite good. It is just a few visual inconsistencies that are impeding you.

Thanks for the detailed response MossyB. I don't agree with everything you said, for example the center is usually lighter because it is more worn and frayed. However I will take into consideration some of your points and make some changes. Thank You.

I love the texture and the panels on the door. Great work. I agree that the lighting is a bit weird, it almost looks as if the mat is glowing, but all-in-all it's not too bad imo.

p.s. - I'm not a big fan of the wall geometry going through each other. It would be nice if it were the inside of a cube, rather than 3 planes that intersect.

Amazing, nice work with textures, good luck!

Secretsather, the new entry also is now a cube rather than 3 planes.

I preffer the textures the white door and the original mat but the floor and the wall looks more reallistic in the new entry. Both are great.

The lettering is a bit hard to read. What does is say in front of "members?" Is this supposed to be made out of cat hair? The fibers on it are a bit too fine to be rubber. also, having the floor white, with only a bit of colors peeking out from under the mat is visually confusing, since the rest of the floor shows no color.

Really nice job on the hole cut into the ceramic tile. The chips are a nice touch.

Agreed, ceramic looks nice. Flower pot (I'm assuming) would look better round.

nice work on the small door....

xD love the idea! i just cant read the bottom text :S
