I mainly purchase models from 3dsky. I render mainly interiors so a lot of bedding, sofas, and the occasional rug. Other than that, I am always on the hunt for nice wood materials.

Much better. I don't know what vray has for white balance, but that could help. I also use an all white color for a background image and that helps.

It doesn't have the same materials though.

Here's the skp.

I just quickly rebuilt this. Like others were saying, you need to start with a good model, radius or chamfer the edges. I also set back the dividers a smidge. That helps make things look more realistic. Keep your materials going the right way. I brought it closer to the ground and used an infinte plane with shadow catcher. I am using Thea by the way. I used a basic studio hdri and pressed play.

Has anyone this new demo from Nvidia? Pretty interesting stuff.

Hey all, I finally got around to updating the imagery on my website. It had been over 4 yrs! Of course everything is modeled in Sketch Up and rendered with Thea! Feel free to check it out. C & C always welcome. http://www.breaultdesignstudio.com

I use dropbox to keep all my pcs with the same files.

Looking forward to trying this out! Too much work going on for awhile is going to put a damper on this. Where's the examples of comforters?

I see that Titan z cards are now 1500. Seems like too good of a deal. Any thoughts on why they are trying to blow these out?
