Very nice render!

Thank you once again Richard!! Umm yes I agree with you on chairs, maybe a bit too heavy handed with the PS work, they look a bit rough around the edges. Easily correctable

Thank you both. Already have your plugin installed TIG, very useful plugin- did not realise you could specify not to purge materials. iminy-billy-bob - Thank you, applying the material, makes perfect sense now.

Hiya I think you need to synchronize materials under Plugins>VRay>Debugging>Force sync for all materials. I have this set to a shortcut because it's buried in sub-menus Cheers Corey

Thank you David & Ken. Lee - Not quite finished yet, keeps getting postponed by paid work. PM me your email address and I'll send you the visopt when finished.

you might also want to upgrade to the official 2.0 release.

Looks good. I would tweak the floorboards. For me are too bold and close to vinyl floor. PS. Sorry thegreek87 - I'm a carpenter by trade...I love wood - OK, you can ignore me... Regards

Hi Tig, works a treat : )...no more having to wait for a report to generate. I am forever in your debt, if you ever need any modelling or rendering done, send me a message. cheers

nice render! just put a lttle less bump on all your mats, the chairs and table for example look way too rough.

this is really an excellent render. i can see a different style from your render. the setting and sharpness is great.

I think what is missing in the renders are the little details. Things like: Wall power outlets Wall light switches Other items to make the spaces look "lived in". These are the types of things commonly missed. When people do remember the little items it is what makes a render realistic. The best advice is research home magazines and really look at the pictures and see all the small details and not just the space overall. The last image for example only has 5 items in the shot: A painting lamp table sofa chair things you could add: Magazines or books rug plants The other things is don't always take the obvious direction of the light. Here you chose the light to come through the windows because they are in the scene. What about placing the light coming through a window behind the camera? Not as obvious and can add more realism.

The main idea is that the eye is drawn to the highest contrast points that help to distinguish the most important parts of the image. You could also replace the vignette with a drop shadow from a trees and also add some trees in the reflection to balance out the image.
