Another Internal Render

Very nice image Oliver!
Podium is your friend.

Just one little crit if I may: the legs on those chairs look very heavy.
Otherwise, this is a great work!

I must say I agree with Richard that using too much bloom can screw up a render.
Often people use it to cover up flaws or a lack of color bleeding .
In this case, you don't need it.

Oliver, I'm impress, You are really the podium master for me...
I like the grain and the mood of your composition.
Congratulation, Fred.

I would post the file but it's very big. I'll make a reduced version with good layering. I'd be interested to see which app could render it the best.

I know you can get better, more realistic results with other renderers but I don't have the time to learn anything else at the moment. Podium is very very fast. In that its totally integrated in sketchup and the workflow is very simple. This render only takes 10 minutes with sunlight and all omnis/bumps/reflections at full quality/anti-alias. I am sure the twilight render would look more real, but 90% of the time I do not require anything remotely photoreal. Sometimes you can give a client too much too early, thats my problem anyway. I would love to be a vray or vue guru but i dont have the time unfortunately. Some vray renders are just breathtaking.

Thanks Biebel for your comments, your renders have inspired me to up my game. Yes the chairs do look heavyweight dont they, kinda like big toy chairs!! I agree they are too shiny but nothing that cant be sorted out.

Brodie thanks for the link, i had problems accessing it too but I'll keep checking it out.

cheers fymoro, i put a lot of effort into the details! but theres always room for more!
