This is looking great, George! Good work.

The two major problems that stand out to my eye:
The floor shininess should be increased, and the couch and pillow models need a lot of work.

Hi George,

I am impressed, how can you setup the scene like this ? Following only a picture...
1-About the sofa, and the pillow I am agree with flech, find a bettre model.
2-The tiling seems strange to my eyes, maybe too big, and increase the shineness at 140000 yes yes 140000...
3-The ies file is not really nice, change with the one attached here

I have done a small PP as I do for my render, Topaz denoise, contrast, etc...

Good start...

[George.Selim]

Thanks Fletch and Fymoro
Youer comments are highky appreciated, I am re-rendering now incorporating your comments with a lil bit of colour adjustment.
Fymoro, thanks for the PP try you did, I really like it and wish to know what you did exactelly.

Thanks a lot once again for passing by.

Fymoro,

Frankly this is my first experience wit IES file! I tried to open it using PP but it came out to be blank white can you please advice how to open it and use it

[fymoro]

The ies I attached is in a rar file open it, and you will find "0018.ies" go to your model and into the spotlight you put, load the file, and try it...

[George.Selim]

Thanks Fymoro,

You know, when i sow your SU file I thought you were using light emmitter, it took me many hours trying and finally decided to use spot light, now I understand.

Thanks a bunch

Hi fellows,
Here is my last practice using ies, thanks to Fred, I forgot to apply ies to some of the sopts lol I need comments to improve more please
Thx

[Fletch]

Very impressive.

It is very difficult to critique such a nice image.

Some tiny things...
I would perhaps use a warmer color for the cover lighting on the ceiling, and the rough wood texture on the right... I think it may be some wood panels I know of, but then I am not sure. It is perhaps too repetitive as a texture. Lastly, the reflection/shine on the floor attracts my eye, but not in an attractive way, however I am not sure why. For the floor, you may want to use a real photo of a real material you are trying to match, and work from that.

Thanks Fletch for your comments, frankly I use the attache granite texture but not sure why it didnt show?!
I used refraction (1.1) and shiness (14000) any suggestions
