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?

Looks great! Wrong furniture grain directions always standout to me. The material for the frame on the coffee table should be rotated 90. I guess if it was veneer it wouldn't matter.

Very nice render, Thea seems to be giving people some nice results. Think I may have to give it a try at some point.

Thea is great! GPU rendering has really made my work so much easier and most importantly more profitable.

Thanks for the kind words. Cotty, the rug is a model I found in the Thea forums. I am pretty sure it was a bath mat and I just copied and rotated/flipped a bunch of them and stuck them together. I just stuck them on a separate layer and rendered that region and added it post pro. I did model the bed, but it is clients design.

Here are a couple of interior shots I completed recently. Rendered with Thea presto mc. Original size 3300 x 2550

Thank you very much! I can't wait to give this a go!

I am also using pano2vr. Works great.

I got the models for the rug and mattress at : http://www.sketchuptexture.com/

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Dazza, the lighting is just a bunch of ies downlights and a hemispherical "studio" ibl.

Thanks Jeff!

Here is a bedroom scene I just finished for a local furniture manufacturer. This was the first chance I have had to really test out the presto engine in a setting, since most of the work I do is strictly hdri lit product shots. Everything worked great! Rendered at 3300 x 1980 using Presto mc for 1h20min with a gtx680 4gig card. C & C always welcome.
