Any feedback on this would be appreciated. I've not long started using Vray 6 and still struggling a bit with photorealism. The model of the dog is straight out of the warehouse.

Thank you.

@Dave-R Yes, I avoid modifying the camera in LO. At least I have a better understanding of this glitch now and can compensate for it. I also need to be more concise with my models and make better use of tags and visibility. I'm also fortunate enough to have Studio here with the massive power of Vray 6, which is a great incentive to be more organised with it's render layer capabilities.

@Dave-R Doh! I thought I was up to date. Just installed 4.4.1 and problem is solved.
Thank you

Brilliant. A real labour of love, lots of detail for under 27 mb!

@L-i-am Thank you. I missed the duplicate pattern on the island. Interesting that you have highlighted some other things I also considered but second guessed myself on. Nearly put a mirror on the wall and the edge of a side table in the foreground, but the dog bed is a feature of the design so can't be obscured.
I think I have a tendency not to over dress the scene but I think a few more of the details you suggest would help.

@Bryan-K Sorry for the late reply, I've been away.
I like the idea of shutters, it would fit well with the style of building. Definitely will put in the edge of a table in the foreground and try the depth of field.
I would have put more gloss on the surfaces but the brief is for flatter, more natural finishes, and the floor represents an actual product. Looks ok in real life but makes getting a good render more difficult.
Thanks for your comments

@Bryan-K Nice. Where can I get one? Also, if there were double yellow lines there, would you still get a ticket? Technically it's not 'on the road,

Excellent render. creative use of assets to make the tyre tracks, although, methinks they start a bit early, the rear tyres haven't been through the puddle yet...unless it reversed up and then left again.
Nothing to do with the quality though, just how my brain works.
