Thanks. That is one heck of a compliment.

Nice work mate
Just a thought though, if the woman is holding and looking at a phone could you make the screen an emitter give it a good bit of power above the standard 35 that would put a bit of glow on her face and give the composition depth, it may take a bit of experimentation to get it right (If you are not able to make the phone scrreen because it is mapped together just make a face about 2mm above it and make that the emitter) Perhaps put a little stand-by led on the tv, and perhaps a bit of shine on the ceramic stuff? That would send an already good render to the next level

Good stuff ! Really like these type of renders that are "moody".

Eventually yes. Good suggestions.

I spent 36 hours tweaking the settings on this render and the final pass took 3 hours. I'm gonna take a break.

I also have other very pressing problems right now. I may be homeless next week.

That is awfull news Bryan, I have no idea of your situation but hope the situation gets resolved in your favour.

I know about the tweaking, it exhausts me as well. And like you I need to step away from it for a while

Good luck with everything

[Bryan K]

Thanks L i am.

[Mike Amos]

Bryan, been where you are and it is highly stressful. I hope you can sort things out and stay in your home or get something better. Either way we are here to help if we can. Don't be a stranger and let us know please.

Nice work Bryan I have often considered how much time on the subtleties in the final stage of a project. But it is always worth it ) And the skills improve with every painfull one
