Bathroom with a killer view - concept

Stinkie

(...) I always try to show and achieve "real world" lighting in my renders.

Why would you want to do that? Realism is a means to an end, not an end in itself. (In my opinion, that is. )

looks good what are your glass settings?

Though not very important I think your glass material needs refractive layer. Overall the greatest benefit would come from some warm colored lights coming from behind the camera. I agree with TomDC on the bumps, bevels, towels, and reflection. You should be able to finish this render quicker with your hardware, without losing quality (I think).
good luck

TomDC, I was told that I'm a perfectionist which sometimes does not play out well I will definitely take your advise for future renderings to come.

mystix89, if you would like I could email you the material.

oganocali, I will do the changes and post them as soon as possible. Unfortunately, yesterday I had a small accident while rollerblading. My wrist is swollen, in pain, did not sleep all night and I'm riding on pain killers

Thanks for you time and have a great weekend.
cheers

So here it is a new render with some changes as per CC. I'm still not happy with the towels on the left, looks like news paper

cheers

You could mess them up a little bit, they look like copy and past jobs, play with the mesh a little bit to make them more unique and you will be fine.

I believe that a view, colours and simplicity make the bathroom so calm and serene yes, I'm both plus a phtoographer, web designer, graphic artist, concept designer and so much more... and it's all in one, in me

I'm no architect and I don't (can't) do rendering, but I like it . It wouldn't be my choice for a bathroom in my home, I like warmth and wood and such, but it's nice.

As far as realism, some observations -

how about someplace to hang some towels beside the sinks, and someplace to put the soap

seems like if the mirror was divided and turned into a three (or four) part medicine cabinet-type affair it would provide a lot of storage space for typical bathroom stuff

some throw rugs in front of the tub, sinks, toilet, would make it less sterile and more inviting and provide warmth for the tootsies

I agree with Liam, the towels are folded too perfectly, they don't look real.
