L i am, thank you for the suggestions and help. However, I figured out my problem. Or should I say remembered. It's been so long since I last used Raylectron that I forgot something important about lighting... ...emitters cannot be grouped with anything. Yep, that's all it was. I am somewhat embarrassed. Thanks again for responding and your help. I will be posting the updated renders of the living room and bedroom in the Gallery.

Update. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Here are the changes made: Random rotated the bushes and heights Changed the color of the floor lamp's shades. Brought the gamma down a little bit and most important: Fixed the ceiling wall lights. I remembered that emitters in Raylectron cannot be grouped in order to work. (DOH!) The shelving shadows look far better now. After fixing the ceiling lights, it rendered twice as fast. Done in 2 hours. Here's is the finished render. I will now re-render the bedroom scene from last week. [image: FYGM_tradlivingroomrender2.jpg]

@nlipovac said: Nice composition. Waiting for render. Thanks. It will be finished tomorrow.

All SU major point releases (ie. SU2016 / SU2017 / SU2018 / SU2019 / SU2020) run independent from each other and can be installed on the same machine without the one influencing the other. I doubt that any versions of SU, apart from the current release, is available for purchase. You could communicate with SU though, but the cost won't be less than the current version if they were to meet you halfway. Don't go subscription, perpetual licence only - IMHO anyway.

Render is finished and posted in main gallery.

Thanks duanekemp. But I've shelved this one for a while. Lost the vision for now.

Changed seats. The anti-grav pods are the circular disks on the bottom. [image: noeI_antigravpertransport10.jpg]

Fascinating stuff and worth keeping an eye on. Lots to find out yet.

Else you have the truely free amazing PConPlanner!

Thanks Mike. The problem is I'm out of work again and facing serious problems. sigh This has not been a good year for me.

Thanks. It was definitely worth adding that little extra.

Thanks everyone!

@mike amos said: I like a lot, nicely populated, a great scene. Thanks!

Agreed, that is an improvement but I like the first too. Not easy merging all those components but you do the scene justice. It also seems that my typing brain cell is on the whoopee juice too.

Thanks Daniel! I liked the first terminal better as well, but decided to try to stay closer to the original design.

@chedda said: This is useful Bryan: http://macmave.blogspot.com/2012/09/free-over-clouds-hdri-map.html Link is no longer valid. Goes to dead website. Dang it! That would have been perfect! Thanks anyway.

And that's it for the airship for now. Moving on to the scene it was made for in a new thread.
