Staircase hall (WIP)

[sirio]

The scene it's almost complete(until client revision ). I'm starting to play a bit with lighting and postproduction. I'm also working on a night shot I'll post later.
What do you think it's better, a warmer or cooler look for the daylight version? Also let me know If you fill additional lighting will help to improve the images.

The night verion:

Warmer is better. When cooler, more attention is focused on what's outside.
There is something strange with night sky. It is so intense blue?

[sirio]

Thanks, I have already corrected the night sky for the final view
I'll definetely go for warmer color for the daylight, I prefer that too.

I've finally completed the job
Some statistics:
-about 30 million real polygons plus render instances
-about 250 area lights including a physical sun/sky, artificial lights and a couple large softbox used as fill light in darker spots
-all modelled by me unsing C4D and FormZ, except for console, armchair, bench and applique(made using laserscan), moulding by dikart.ru
-home made textures and shaders, including some materials from my old shaders bundle, other shader used here will be part of the next bundle based on Vray Standard Material
-average render time a couple hours for a 4K images, I'm not in a hurry so I've also made a couple views without denoiser in about 6h, all of that using a 5000 cinebench point hardware(mixed Mac/PC)
-minor post processing in Photoshop Camera Raw

Here are the final views(I'll post later a few more images), I hope you like it and let me know where to improve
