        I might give the more realistic way a try, bit it seems that I can't download the tutorial 😞

        @HFM

          Tutorial is a flash movie. You dont have to download it. Check you flash plug-in of you browser. Also the other Photoshop tutorials of this guy are very handy for us.

              I don't have much constructive advice on how to render it better, though you could look at kerkythea which I've been using to design my own house remodel for rendering and it works great.

              I will say, I understand Juan's comment about 'open room' -- Is their a utility reason for the room being so sparse? Without much context it's hard to say. But from a completely laymans point of view (I'm not a designer or architect) the room 'feels' like it's missing something from the middle of it. Those people that can look over the railing down into the room, if the room is empty they just see a checkered floor. You could add a raised planting space (not even sure what it's called) -- by the space it looks like it could fit a 4'x8' type area that even offers a small ledge to sit, even if it was only 18" or high or so it would help break up the room flow.

              P-

                Hi

                Next version

                • tried to create more difference in the room by using more contrast on the shadows
                  (added a VRay spotlight, might be to bright still)
                • played around with the aquarel technique
                • changed the people to the more simple ones
                • lowered the red color on the floor.

                Next
                I consider removeing the pickture in the back of the sofa - it takes to much attension

                Other tips ?

                ps. the floor is existing.

                  Render 03
                  Added a new version where I added som photo-people, and some furniture in the room.
                  But I think it's hard to make the photopeople to become a part of the room, they seem to crisp 😞

                  Actualy I like the aquarel look better.

                    Jorgensen, how bright is your wall colour? I asume it is a pure white (RGB colours at 255, 255, 255).

                    such a bright material does not exist in the real world. you should consider setting down the brightness of the colour a bit (for example: a white sheet of paper has RGB 220, 220, 220).

                    if you have a perfectly white wall, light rays will not loose any of their strength when reflected - and with the raytracing method the rays will bounce from surface to surface until they have lost all energy (that is how indirect lighting works). if they don't loose any energy, they will bounce forever. πŸ˜•

                    I don't know how close Vray sticks to real light behaviour (for it is an biased render enigne). I recently started using Indigo (an unbiased renderer) and if you use a completely white colour it will look unrealistic.

                    - please correct me, if it is a different matter with Vray -

                      I agree if your using Vray try to stay away from using pure white (rgb 255,255,255). It bleed too much and does not show well. (rgb 240,240,240) works well for most things white. Also make sure you have "clamp output" checked in the color output rollout. This will help whites being too white or bleeding too much.

                      As far as the image I am not sure about the plant materials. They do not fit for me in this image. Especially the once hanging. Overall I think the image is getting better. If the space is the main focal point try to not over populate it with other content. It is a fine balance between "enough" additional content and "too much".
