Thanks Pete, that was the daft wife's fault she liked that one better: now you know why I don't take any notice of her usually!

I hear you, my wife is the same, firstly she is a certified kitchen designer and she insisted on glass kitchen cabinet doors, now we need to stack everything neatly and clean more whenever we get a guest, as they can see everything in our cabinets...daft decision.

Hello fabiorossi, I used a HDR for lighting and it's terrible again! I stopped using them for this very reason, if only shadows and HDR's worked together. I need to stop rushing the PP too!
Thanks John

Hello fabiorossi, I'm using V-ray but I just cannot combine the HDR and SU sun
Thanks John

Redone, 2 new renders, 1 HDR & 1 SU sun. Combined in Photoshop. I give up

that's just my opinion but the shadows are more natural in no-textured sketchup model than lighting in rendered image; however it's a nice model and render

on my experience, you can not light a scene only with hdri, when you add an hdri map the sun should contribute to lighting, hdri makes glasses more real and the shaders looks better; what's about your render engine?

I'm not sure about the setting but a few time ago I used this type of combination and this is the result by v-ray 1.5
