The bump on the floor looks arse up! Otherwise all to clean, needs dirt maps in there mate!

Hi Richard, thanks mate for dropping by. Would love to mess it up just a little.
Seen some of your great work and you always have a great eye for detail.

you fake, Dspace ... beautyful bed clothes, and lighting of course. again Warhol, you really like him. what about a green jade buddah?

Hi tridem, thanks for the comments, would love to have those jade mats.

Hi guys, thought it's high time to start my first thread!
Just joined a couple of days back and starting to learn more about SU applications, including modelling and renderings.

Hope to learn more from you guys and I've seen loads of amazing post from this forum.

Render with Kerkythea and a couple of insipirations here and there.
Hope you like it and C & C are always welcome!

Congrats to your first post, amazing work!

@ michaliszissiou, nice one..really love it!

............I cook it with the interiors.

Hey Maj, new interiors!
I think the design looks great. I esp like the ceiling.
Reminds me of some project I did.
One interesting thing for me is your switch to Vray, hopefully I can learn more about it in future!

I'm not sure about sunlight for interiors, but you should try the others out.
The 2nd tip is improve your tone map.
Do those adjustments (gammas / exposures) or adjust it in PS or gimp.
Simple but very neccessary.

@Frederik, thanks...I'm indeed a Warhol fan!

@rclub24...cool, I was thinking of something like this, but with snow etc...

@Earthmover, very nice fog test!

And one more for my bedroom wall.

I must have seen some of the renders somewhere.
I'm totally impress by the level of realism. Amazing work!

This is my artist impression of Solo doing the caustic thing..whatever..but only this time the caustic is in the sea.
Special thanks to Solo for making great threads!
Render for half hr.

Hi nevets2001uk, I understand that you're very keen on improvements, but it takes time to learn.
A couple of things, first about the lights, a simple scene as such doesn't require lots of light source, I mean 1 or 2 source would be enough in most cases.
Having too much light source tends to complicate things..eg the shadows, that's what you're getting now.
Try out 1 or 2 light source, but play up a Hdr and I'm sure it will look better.
And about the radius..try not to use like 0.05, start with say 0.5 instead.

Very nice work Sir Fred!

But tridem...it's foul play...a yellow card...for adding the lights!
Just kidding, it's Xmas!
Btw...did you use the cotton material again for the snow?

My contibution.
....would have done something similar to Oli's...but..

Simply amazing work guys!

Just join, so just post....a quickie for the shine..but not the emitter..oops!

EarthMover
Definetly the best Xmas render
