      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...! πŸ‘

        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... πŸ˜‰

        Cheers

          Thank you for your comment! πŸ˜„

          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 πŸ‘

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

                        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

                                  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! πŸ˜„

                                      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.
