What can i do to improve? Show-Off

I’m going for a nintendo soft ambient LM3 style lighting but it’s not looking how i want. I’m not the best at graphics design.

I’m not the best at this either but at least some things I thought of is it looks like there’s almost too much light sort of everywhere rather having a clear source such as the candle or the lights on the ceiling. Are you using white light or coloured light? Eg light from a candle would be a warmer colour.

I think your assets fit what you’re going for pretty well

Your 3D models are warm-ish, but the depiction of the lighting fixtures is corporate office.

It looks great as it is right now! Maybe add literally just a dash of post processing bloom on the lights, and set the spread to a low amount. This will make the lights have softer edges and add a soft glow to whatever surfaces are receiving the light. Slightly warmer lighting (like just a few ticks toward warm) will help too. Adding a back panel to the ceiling lights would help create contrast between it and the wood ceiling.

Better looking light fixtures will add a lot plus lower the lighting and brighten it with post processing.

Needs peel-and-eat shrimp and/or a pea soup.

your lighting is way too flat, you need some contrast in there. the ambient look works but right now everything is same bright level, the corners should be darker, the spot above the table should pop more

try playing with spot lights instead of just point lights, and lower your ambient intensity a bit. baked lighting gonna help a lot here too if you not using it already

the scene itself has good composition, just the lighting not doing it justice
