Really? well your skills are still strong.

I did 247 paid renders (big and small, one client commissioned 137) and about 300 playtime/test renders last year.

that is indeed a good hobby. you play.. you enjoy and make money.

Great image, I really like the lamp shade material. Did you model the pillows in sketchup? I've only attempted pillows a couple of times in sketchup and have gotten ok results.
pillows were imported 3ds.

Very nice render, it’s clear that you are completely master of this great engine (V-Ray).

But, since we're talking about an image that is close to perfection, i would like to expose some constructive criticism:

The window on the left, in my opinion should be brighter, like the one that sees in the mirror.
So even the black shiny sphere on the window sill, should have a much light and brighter reflection (being in front of the window).

Finally (and this is perhaps the most important point), in my opinion there is something that does not return correctly with the lighting:
It seems that the main light source comes from above instead of directly from the windows and lamps.
Just look at the shadows under the cushions, under the picture frames and under the window sill.
They are all shades of light coming directly from above, as if the ceiling had a light source stronger than those visible in the scene (this becomes very obvious lightening the image with photoshop).
But if so, the higher parts of the walls should be brighter than that.
In addition, the table (taking the light from the window), should throw its shadow on the pillow to the right of the image. but this does not happen!

Perhaps this depends on your own research in this picture to illuminate the scene with different light sources.
It may be that you used a fill light, but you forgot to eliminate shadows.

Or maybe it's me that i did not understand much.

However this is just my opinion, and all in all i think that the image in question is really very impressive, although there are some points that i believe must be resolved, to obtain a realistic and proper lighting of the scene.

STUNNING WORK! Mate!

Wow everything is balanced well, I'd probably like to see the downlight in the recess throwing a bit more light just to drag the eye to the interest there.

BTW mate is the finish to the window shelf right? It looks to be the same as what I would imagine as paper on the walls!

Well done mate, makes me want to be in the room and soak it up! Exactly what you were trying to project I'm sure!

hi richard,

coming from a great maxwell rendere like is humbling. but im happy with your comment.

you are absolutley right in increasing that light. i actually gave that IES a bit more of multiplier to get the effect lighting on that niche to be highlighted but i end up overburned on the floor. im actually having a dilemna if it s the wall color or if it is the IES data. but my suspect would be the green color.

I wanted to achieved a wall paper effect on the wall. Matte finish.
