I tried hard on this one. Well, I try hard on all of them, but this one has a lot going one. The hard part was the 10 hours render time!

[MarkoStojkovic]

Looking great!
But why the render took 10 hours?

[glorybound]

I don’t know. That’ll be my job this evening, to find out.

[francomanko]

nice render, i bet its the green lighting behind the bottles

[glorybound]

Yeah, I am looking into it. The lights are V-Ray disk lights, so they shouldn't slow things down. I am thinking maybe the glass material on the glasses.

[Morne]

probably the frosted windows. that will do it everytime

[jackieteh]

if you have evermotion model in your scene, check their material first, hope this help.

[glorybound]

I don’t thing I do. I did disable displacement, but that didn’t help. I’ll figure it out.

Take a close look at he materials on the bottles. If they are the models I think they are, the materials are very complex, great if you are doing a close up, a render killer otherwise.

[glorybound]

I changed the lights on the shelves from the V-Ray disk to one long V-Ray plane per shelf and I changed the glass on the overhead doors from the frosted glass to a normal glass. My render time is now around 1 1/2 hours. I am not sure which one did the trick, but it's irrelevant now. I guess if I wanted an even faster render time I will check out the bottle materials, however, I am happy with 1 1/2 hours.

[glorybound]

I reworked the lighting.

[MarkoStojkovic]

It's much better now. I like gentle lighting mood.
Somebody just spent all night there and realized it's morning.

[glorybound]

Thanks. I lightened up the darks a little.

What is causing that red reflection on the tiled far wall? Looks a bit odd.

[M.Max]

I loved the night shot !
really cool atmosphere and colors
