Originally posted by mastone I agree with aiko, furthermore i would use a little depth of field, the scaling of your objects also seem a bit off. There's also a handy tool architects use to save on render time and i believe it is called portal light(hypershade-->create mental ray nodes-->mental ray lights. It's basically a plane you align with the window which emanates a specified amount of light.(i'm affraid i don't know how to set it up out off the top of my head). I know that it was a lot quicker then physical sun/sky and such things. And before you go improve your textures, improve the models first right now you have gamequality models. -bevel some edges -the windowframe could use a lot of detailing -pillows of your sofa need to be rounder-->if you make a poly cube set all off the subdivisions to 3, then press 3 on your keyboard with the cube selected, the cube will be a lot smoother now and behaves more like a nurbs surface, which makes it easy to shape your pillow, when your done reshaping go to modify-->convert smooth preview to polygons. Good luck I agree I could have worked more on the models, but I am trying to get my texturing down and mostly lighting. I agree the models are game quality right now and could be a little more realistic on some of them. I am trying hard to create realistic lighting though because i KNOW i CAN MAKE the models more detailed. I did a realistic microphone that I will post, but I am trying to get this realistic lighting and texturing down so I don't diminish my models that I spend time detailing, thats why the scene is not as detailed as you would expect.
