A work in progress I've been playing around with for the past few days... and thanks to fymoro for sharing his awesome models.

160 passes, Easy 09. C & C are most welcome.

great image!
perhaps the bump on the floor is just a bit strong... the joints look great but the surface of the tile seems quite bumpy... could be perfect, I am not sure.

the material on the couch seems like it could use more study... perhaps Generic>Flat may be a good start for it? not sure really what material you want it to look like... is it velvet? is it leather?

most importantly is to get a good IES light for the downlight. There are several available around here, and thousands free on the web.

Nice composition and image, I'm agree with Fletch...

Try this IES attached here...

Thanks for the comments. I agree that the bump is a little much on the floor, I was worried more about the joints and the surface itself became too bumpy. I was going for a leather material for the couch and chair, but i toned it down a little and am going for a red fabric material now. Thanks fymoro for the ies, i replaced the lights and made some material changes and am rerendering the image now.

Any idea where I can find a nice bump map for a fabric?

I re-rendered with the ies lights, I think it is definitely an improvement. I also made some other small adjustments and did the PP a little differently. I also adjusted the couch/chair material a little but it is barely noticeable. Looks like I'll have to try again.

201 Passes, let it render on Easy 09 for almost 18 hours

It's better now, wait to see more, (sofa texture, wall texture etc...)

I think it's a beautiful render, I think many people don't comment because they would have a hard time critiquing, or don't feel they are capable of doing an image of equal quality... dont' worry, it's a great image! I can tell the difference with the couch material. The bump/specular map for the floor is still needing some more study I think. Try the Procelain template at shininess of bewteen 2500-5000... and a good specular map. I've had great luck with it, and I know Fymoro has as well. (even he went to 6000 shininess.)

Yes it is a good looking render
