      Nektares, congratulations and thank you for sharing this with us! Texturing and lighting is perfect. The amount of detail it's just outstanding. The more I look at it, the more I like it! How did you place the lights, in order to get this kind of overall illumination? I was tracking the shadows, to guess where the lights are, but....nothing!
      You are a magician! Please, do post more!
      Regards,
      Stefan

          sketchnl, Andrija Posarić, Starling75, thanks a lot for the kind words.😄

          steelers05:
          i think it could be a bit darker indeed, thanks for the crit 😄
          being picky is not a bad thing, we should all strive for excellence 👍

          Broomstick:
          Im using a quad core Q6600, 4gb ram, intel motherboard, 512 MB Nvida 8600GT
          i had a 9800 GX2 of 1gb but i killed it playig crysis at full res 😄 hahaha
          The render took like 1 hour n_n and the model is 75 Mb, with all the details
          and textures, the trick relies on using simple, well textured models on the back
          and hi-poly models on the front. See you can ruin a hi-poly model with
          a bad texture, but make a low-poly model look great with a good texture.
          Light is very important too, and having the exact amout of HsPH and samples so
          your renders don´t take longer than what they should. i used irradiance map
          and light cache for this render, and took me about 8 hours to model.
          i hope this helped clearing your doubts, thanks for the comments!

          Stefan:
          Thank you! im very glad you like it! no rectangular or omni lights on this one.
          It´s all Global Illumination, that´s why its so uniform 😄 the magic is on the
          GI 😛 im just a puny human that loves SketchUp and Vray n_n and yes! i will
          be posting more, thanks for the support 😄 cheers!

            Thank you so much for the reply, you also told me something I needed to know: I am buying a quad core in the near future and wanted to know what kind video card get with it. Now I know, thanks to you. And yes you're spot on on textures: I remember the iclone models from the warehouse.. they look so real and yet they are so low poly it's incredible, really.

            Thanks again for all the information, i hope to be posting something nice myself too in the next few days 😄

              Bromstick: the 8000 series from Nvidia are not bad, but I bought it as a temporary graphics card, 9000 series just got replaced by some new series I can't recall right now, but I suggest you to take a look at the 9000 series, like. a 9800 😄 they should be affordable and have a better performance than the 8000 series, check out the benchmarks and comparisons on some dedicated sites, or ask on the general section what's the best graphic card choice for sketchup, an nvidia 8600 is not bad, but I'm sure you can get something better 😄 good luck!

                    Stunning level of detail there mate, and matched by some very nice material uses!

                    My only comments would be ditch the dirty thongs at the shower entry and the blue towel seems a little out of place with the colour scheme!

                          JHuman, robert111 Thanks and..
                          This are the settings for light, they work on V-ray 1.0
                          but i took some screen shots in case you are using a newer one.
                          Here´s the file:
                          int settings
                          and screenshots:
                          1
                          2
                          3
                          4
                          5
                          6

                          Richard:
                          I tried to balance the general color scheme by adding some cold
                          colors to the bathroom, in details like the towels, so it was not
                          completely warm n_n i can see your point, maybe some orange/yellow
                          towels would have been more pleasant to you 😄 thanks for your comments!

                          olishea:
                          Thank you very much, and well i think i tell you the same i told Richard
                          about the towels 😄, you will do better interiors, if you want to n_n

                          wow 😳 thanks!!

                                  I am still wondering how did you map the texture of the towel?

                                    i used Deep Exploration CAD edition
                                    import max models and save them as
                                    google sketchup, mapped in Deep Exploration,
                                    then i link the texture in SketchUp and voila!

                                      Hehe, thanks, nektares, I´ll try to post more often 😉
                                      Thanks again for explaining your workflow (deep exploration is on my to-do list)
                                      BTW I see you´re using CityEngine?

                                            Hey Robert! unfortunately i have not seen the note camera point plug-in for free
                                            i payed for mine at smustard, i dont remember the cost but it was very cheap n_n.
                                            I suggest you to buy it there if you really need it, but i must say i did not use
                                            it for this render, i prefer using the Zdepth VFB channel with Pshop lens blur.
                                            I made a quick tutorial since i'm in a rush, you see my mom cooked some delicious
                                            food and i have go and eat it ASAP. i hope this helps!

                                            see, you first have to include the Zdepth to export with your render
                                            DOF VFB
                                            that´s how one of those look 😲
                                            Zdepth map
                                            Then when your render is done and you saved it
                                            open the images in Pshop and add the Zdepht map
                                            as a channel, and change its name.remember to
                                            hide it clicking on the eye on the left side
                                            of the channel, that way channel is off but still there 😄
                                            Then just go to Filter > Blur > Lens Blur
                                            tut1
                                            Here´s where you select the Zdepth channel
                                            you have just added as a depthmap.
                                            then just adjust to get the desired effect.
                                            tut2
