      garystan, just want to reinforce I'm in no way knocking your efforts. By gosh your trying and asking questions and that's how you get better. Was a little bored last night so threw together an example model to try and better express some of the things I was saying. Have no idea the exact dimensions of your room so just sort of tried to get reasonably close. Just put representations of the 3 main elements. Killed the color as it was a little distracting from what I was trying to show. The piano is a concert grand and very close to real world dimensions. Lowered eye height and set F.O.V.to 45 degrees. My point is don't be afraid to experiment ... keep up your efforts 👍

        Horizont of outside exterior is always tricky.

        I usually set a 360° pano as background, so I don't have to worry about the horizont. It always matches. wherever your viewpoint is.

        Here's an example (Have a look at exterior):

                            Thanks for your advice guys.  I did a  re-do (for the Xth time) of Piano Room.  I think I got it this time.

                  Do you mean a  360 degree panoramic background ?  Could you explain more about this ?   And how do I go about setting up a 360 degree background. Where do I find it ?  Sorry about all the questions.  But, this does sound interesting.

                It depends on the render engine.

                I am using twilight render. I could explain it for this app.

                  Please do. I have Twilight and would like to know more about how to do that. I will then have to try to find some suitable images to use in a 360 environment.

                    The backgroundimage should be an equirectangular panorama in aspect ratio 1:2 like these: https://www.flickr.com/photos/gadl/sets/72157604695660345/

                    In twilight choose the backgroundsettings, take spherical background. Decide if the sun is on or of.

                        Thanks for sharing this link. I downloaded one just to try it out and it is very interesting. Just wish I could find some that would work well with my car washes. Especially cities or neighborhoods in the US.

                        Would love to find a source of US oriented images like these.
