Quite rich--a lot of work. The bar, the sofa (I'd like to go to that place). Great atmosphere created!

Yeah, I'd like to go to that place as well.

Great job!

Very cool images and presentations.

Thanx! I use V-Ray for the renders.

These are so great! Love them...

Only issue I'm seeing though is the segmentation on that curved part..

I hope mine look that good one day. 👍

i don't know if this is the right place to ask, but i'll give it a shot.

i'm using sketchup 8 and the maxwell render plugin for it. i wanted to create spots like the ones in this interior shots. the thing is, that i don't know how to create such light cones with it. when i place an emitter they only bring diffuse light. do i have to build the spot like in reality with a reflector insinde to create a lightcone? or is it simply not possible to do that with the "cheap" plugin for sketchup and i would have to get the full render suite?

sorry for my noobish questions, i'm kinda new to the material.

Hello Carloh,
I have used emmisive material (to light up the lamp (halogen) and used IES files to create the light effect in most of these renders. Have a look at the IES files here:

I also found this tutorial, maybe it help...I am not familiar with Maxwell:

Good luck.

oh nice 😄 and the furniture is modeled by you only? i really liked the wooden woven chair, the weaves 👍 ..they are modeled or transparent texture?

I got the chair from 'Archive 3D' website. You can download there models and import them in SketchUp. I added the textures myself afterwards.
This website is also very good for plant / tree files: http://plants.swtexture.com/

Sawadee Jeri. I was wondering if the middle render with the very dark sky was meant to be a night view.
I borrowed the image and played with it to enhance the night view effect.

Night View

Thanx for your comment. I used IDX Renditioner for this render which not really creates photo realistic renders. I agree on the 3D cartoon part hehe...I added some colored lights to create a 'different' effect (purple reflections in this case).

Great to hear guys! I really tried not to make a 'show room' type of space....and it came across I ques. I hope people 'feel at home' looking at the images and can imagine themselves watching tv or making breakfast in the kitchen.
