Very sharp, nice one dood.

Have been playing around with the lighting and have posted the result for comparison

[Bryan K]

Excellent!

Thanks Mike and Bryan, I have finished the experiment with a morning shot as the boys have pulled an all nighter
And Bryan I somehow think we use the same render engine;)

Really liked the atmospherics in your first rendered version, many will identify with the 'all nighter' I'm sure. The damaged plaster on the wall is a nice touch as well. Can I suggest the addition of a desk lamp for task lighting and slightly less light emission from the screens?

very nice

[Mike Amos]

I think I would go with the first still, it just works better for me.

Thanks guys, I am surprised at the response to the first one, it is my least favourite.....interesting thanks for the feedback guys

[Daniel]

Nice images, L. One thing missing in the first image are reflections of the interior on the windows. Also, for added realism, if it's an all-nighter their desk should have coffee cups, coke cans, and candy wrappers on it .

Hi Danial, I have added sugar hits in spite of a "clear desk" policy
There are other issues with this render but am suffering from renderers fatigue

[Bryan K]

Wow!

Hi all, this is my last shot at this model render:)

[db11]

Nice! Brings back memories of similar nights...

[Mike Amos]

Agreed, the setting may be different but the atmosphere definitely. You could slice that and put it in a sandwich.

Thanks very much guys It took a lot of patients but definitely was a learning curve for me I genuinely think rendering is an art, and the more I learn the more I realise I know very little

The last image turned out great and is an obvious evolution from the previous images.

Thanks Bryan, nice to hear that all that tweaking wasn't for nothing It feels hard to justify sometimes

It's always worth it. The first image was damn good but the final image is excellent.
