My first Twilight render, or Kt render for that matter.

This is an old model of mine, I once rendered it with Vray. I have not yet got a good grasp over the texture/material editor and need to go through the tutorials again and try get my head around terminologies I'm not accustomed to. Anyway I decided to render this with the lower of the two progressive interior settings, I let it run 70 passes or just over 5 hours (4 hours longer than I would normally tolerate, but then again I exclusively use biased engines)
I think it came out okay for a first attempt, but definitely need to learn better control over materials, lighting and cameras before pushing out anything dazzling.

Well a great model is the start of a great rendering and this is one of those.
I remember your V-ray of this. I am sure after a bit of play you will have another useful tool in your arsenal.

Welcome, Solo :)

It's looking pretty good so far. I think the materials are the thing holding it back. Especially the floor, and most of the architectural surfaces.

For most materials like leather and wood floors and such I apply a base texture and then I generally start with the "plastic" Material Template and tweak things from there if needed.
If I know I will be rendering with Progressive method (and I almost always do for interiors) I use the NK Metals library.

You've been producing KT renders for years, actually :D
I'm eager to see the drool-worthy images you'll produce with Twilight.
