Christmas morning
-
This is my first entry in this competition: http://www.sketchuptexture.com/2013/12/mini-challenge-christmas-2013.html
Took the interior of my current university project (detached house thread in the WIP gallery) for this. My intention was to show the atmosphere in a home on christmas morning when still everyone is asleep.
Rendered with Thea TR1.

Very nice, Carloh...!
The crit I have would be on the material you've used on the floor...
The bump is way too strong...!
Try another floor material or drop the bump strength...
-
Thank you for your comment!
For the floor i wanted to simulate a kind of rough, used parquett floor, so i pushed the bump. But i guess you're right that a little less would be more here
-
Hi Carloh, You have no softshadows on your lamp?
-
Hmm yes there aren't...i enabled them for the point light in the lamp but it looked strange.i guess i'll have to check on it again
-
Used/rough/worn wood floor is not noisy like that, it is usually worn on the edges and it is a bit wavy. Your bump is more suited for rusted metal than worn wood floor !

nice! thanks for the link ely!

Nice image Carloh! really liked the mood and the contrast warm-cold of the lighting... I would use a softer shadow for that lamp...
best

Thanks Victor
I'll make another entry in this competition where i'll change the lighting -
Hi Carloh:
Image has a lovely feel w/the village lights in the background. It definitely feels like Christmas morning. Comments by others give you excellent direction to improve this scene.
Cheers,
Susan -
get those lights on the christmas tree!
-

Much improved!
-
Much better. Would like to see more light on tree. Not tree lights.
Maybe a dull emitter to see more of it. -
WOW !!
That's almost real!
I don't agree with the IOR of the present though, it is too reflective for a paper! -
thank you guys!
i knew someone would notice my laziness on that present paper material...i actually used a metallic car paint material on this because i wanted to finish the render
-
I think it could be easy fixed with some postprocess work. I usually give it some roughness(if your program allows it) if I can't reduce the IOR(reflectivity).
-
Great new image Carloh. Just not massively keen on the tree lights having such a wide flare, perhaps it's just my personal taste, but the eye is instantly drawn towards them. The lamp looks a million times better. Nice work it's almost a photo.
-
Good work Carloh, especially the improvements on the shade. It has the cold/warm and dark/light balance needed in a render.
