This is really impressive and very realistic. How do you take a SU model into Blender? One of the main areas I'm finding SU lacks is texturing and I'd like to learnt to use Blender for this.

That would surely be "Top Gun"

Thanks for the tips dspace. Here's a new render I made over the weekend of the TV stand with my basic TV model included. I used simply the Sun and an emitter as the light sources in the room. I have a HDRi sky however I've rendered this furniture inside the flat model I'm building to replicate our flat so it's only lighting it through the window spaces at the moment.

I'll try a studio style render of this furniture at some point for fun.

Wow! Great renders. I'm not overly keen on the post processing of the second render but the first one is fantastic.

Impressive work. The leather chairs in particular look very realistic and lighting has the right mood for the environment.

Thanks very much. It's the most realistic thing I've been able to produce to date.

Here's the next item of furniture I've built which is our sideboard unit. It's a bit noisy as I stoppped the render early due to the textures being too repetative. I've modified them and will run a new render soon.

These are fantastic and very realistic. I must try a spherical render like this somewhen.

This is my first post on the forum after a bit of lurking. I've been using SU and Kerkythea for a few months and have undertaken a project to model our flat. This is partly for practice and partly because we are renovating it so having the option to visualise the changes is handy.

This week I've started modelling some of the furniture for the room including our solid oak TV stand. All modelling and texture mapping (as best you can in SU) was done in SU. Rendering was done in KT with my own materials.
