Stunning renders, Mike!
Tell us about how you put the scene together or found inspiration for the design?

Thanks Fletch, you may have guessed that I like a dark and moody render and I submitted one such render to Lightworks competition many moons ago while using a render program called Renditioner. I achieved third place but was never really happy with it. I also did a Christmas eve scene with a tree and all the trimmings with a mirror and a snowman on a balcony looking into the room. I have seen many folk make a better fist of things and taken many views and parts inspiration from just looking around. I think this model comes from Sketchup texture club.

I get a lot of my inspiration comes from the people here and on Sketchucation, hidden little items in a landscape that you only see on second or third glance which I try to do. For example, I went through a faze of using an image on a wall at the periphery of the render or just off to one side, a crazy cat cartoon,

I am attaching one of the many Christmas renders I did with Renditioner V3, it's defunct now as far as Sketchup goes but survives in one of the well known CAD programs out there name of which I forget. Well, I have only had about three hours sleep this week which also affects the render and standard achieved.

I am redoing the render because I thought I had reduced the level of hdri emission but had not so the window should be less of a distraction.. Thanks to Rich O'Brien for noticing what I missed.

I am still determined to get it right on a more permanent basis and screw up less and everyone here contributes to that. When I get it right, a lot of it is down to all of you.

the first two are amaaazing Mike!

I thank you, Sir. The two ceiling lights, left and right have a weird 'stepped' effect on the geometry which Rich pointed out on the Sketchucation forum. I have zero idea what cause this. I tried reducing the offset from the light units themselves to the emitter but it is still following the geometry and 'off set'.

PS. The second two renders are from 2013.

Great stuff

Thanks mate.

I hope to have got to the bottom of the unattached lighting flare.

Thanks mate.
