Nice work! Color grading is well done. What were your render times, if you don't mind me asking?

[Jiri.Matys]

Thank you man. Of course it dont mind. But to be honest I am not sure. I think it was around 8h in 3500px for day shots. Night shot was something longer because of fog. But I think now it would be quicker. I used HDR in this scene, but rendered still in VRay 3.6 without adaptive dome light, so it was slower than now in 4.0.

8 hours, ouch! I'll never complain about my 3 hour interiors again

[Jiri.Matys]

As I said, its because HDR. When I render with standard lights, its pretty much same as your time. And I dont have gear like you, my main comp is pretty slow now, only 8core CPU, I will buy 2990WX soon.

[Jiri.Matys]

One more thing, its been rendered only on one computer. My second one, which has 2500 CB. Its not much these days.

Good job! Just proves that it isn't the hardware, it is the person behind the hardware.

Particularly like that second image with the computer in the corner - looks real!
Are you getting the starburst glints off the recessed lights from Vray?

[Jiri.Matys]

Thank you Bobby.

cheerioboy: no, its in post. But now I am not sure what excatly causes this. I added chromatic abberation and bloom/glare, so its probably both of these.

Image two, the scratches on the floor, how did you do that? They look to be caused by the chair rolling back; great attention to detail.

[Jiri.Matys]

Its just some dirt map over the parquettes.

Just for clarification:: my second computer for rendering is two xeons 2630v4 - 2500 cinebench. My main workstration is even worse 5960X - 1500 cinebench. I wanna upgrade my main workstation to Threadripper 2990WX - around 5500 cinebench. Does some of you have this CPU already, is it good?

nice work I liked the night shot in particular
not so common for commercial project to see such mood
