Cosy little corner

Nice image. A few things that I noticed:
The hinges look cut into the door. Typically not standard.
The hinges should be taller.
The handle looks a bit long.
The base molding need a radius at the top and there should be a bit of a transition to the floor.Cool image though.

You missed something. Take a closer peek at the wall socket.

wow if u wanted critisizm you came to the right place eh, my turn
:the 2 hinges looked better, also skirting needs a gloss to it (highlight glossiness in vray - dunno what its called in these silly unbiased renderers 
) and a nice crappy office carpet texture and bump would do well here, is that a dry wall or brick - frame width is still abit wierd. cool image though, very sterile

Sigh. I know. And here I am going out of my way trying to make something pretty. Am I respected for my unselfish desire to add a spark of beauty to this dark world we live in? For my attempts to bring joy and warmth to the hearts of my brethren, and er, sisthern? No, sir, not in the least.
But that's okay. Your all entitled to your opinions. Even if they're hurtful. And mean.
Pulling yer leg.

Will you people reach a consensus already?

It is glossy - unintentionally, though. The lighting's ... dull. Intentionally, that one.

I consciously chose not to use any texture maps. Tried it, though. Took away from the image - made it less sterile. Couldn't have that - 'cause I'm European, and I'm arty, and I was trying to make a really impressive point about the human condition, or something in that very same vein, or at least, obviously, of similar magnitude and importance.

I know. They were surprisingly thin in real life. Quite possibly not this thin, but close enough - at least according to my memory of them. Everything was thin in that place. Not a straight wall in there either.

Stinkie, When I first went out on my own, the contractor and I agreed how to build a no jamb door way. Well, the building moved "a little" and some of the invisible jambs opened up. Good thing that he was in on the design, as he fixed it with out cost to the owner. Today, all of my jambs have conventional trims:-)The craft of architecture still exist because of building traditions.

I don't think you should make it any more real than it is. It's got this clean minimal look right now, trying to make it more photographic will just detract from it.
And I like the two buildings image you posted earlier - for the same reason. The image is striking as is, making it more photoreal would seem to be a mistake.

I've actually considered going back to school and studying architecture a few years back. I didn't, as I quickly realised I could never let practical matters prevail over design-related ones. I'd be a sculptor first, and an architect second. Didn't seem like a good idea.
As for this place I used to live in, architects should visit it. It's a regular house of horrors. There's this door downstairs, and I never quite figured out what was behind it. So I asked the guy who came around to 'repair' stuff occasionally. He said: oh, that's where the elevator was supposed to go. Now, when I imagined the building in 3D, I saw that elevator would've gone straight through ... my entrance hall. How far were they thinking ahead?

Hey! Someone liked that one! Can I get you anything? Pizza? Callgirls?

I believe that it was Lou Kahn who said that while a sculpture could build a cannon with square wheels in order to express the futility of war, an Architect's design would consist of round ones. As I recall he also asked a brick what it wanted to be, and that was an arch, from which came the buildings of Dacca. No limitations on creativity, or art. Just find the right school, or person to study under.

looking good, stinkie...love the clean lines. the only thing that bugs me is the color of the door...and it probably wouldnt if it wasnt the default color in sketchup....haha.... i now cringe whenever i see that color in any model!

lol. Comes to show how people's tastes differ: I actually made a 'real' Vray mat out of that color (so I could add reflection, as the default mat renders diffuse). Love that color!

I see your point, I think. Still, architecture would be the wrong choice for me. I am interested in architectural forms for reasons that are solely artistic. Also, at the end of the day, there's simply not that many clients who'd allow their architect to push it as far as, say, Gregor Schneider does. Believe me, I pondered upon this prior to my studies, as well as afterwards, and while I deeply love architecture, there is simply no way I could be content being an architect.
