kitchen for portfolio

[pixelplume]

Well i have finally gone back to dress up some renders for my portfolio. I have stared at this particular image far too long. C & C please. Thanks in advance.

It gives me the impression that I am looking at a miniture model. The perspective needs to be fixed on the image outside the window..........it becomes a distraction to the view.

nice model, but the whole thing seems a bit "computery". The plates and counter could do with some more reflection. The plant in the top right seems "flat". Maybe add some speculars.

I'd use the camera correction modifier straighten up the verticals and also the marble tile texture needs some work. It's obviously one big marble texture on top of many tiles, Also too much bump there. Maybe try improving the image background behind the window as well. Too blurred and flat looking and also way too dark so it doesn't match up with the sunlight streaming in. Overall I think there should be more daylight coming in and less artificial light - until I noticed the sunlight I almost thought it's an evening shot.

Just my two cents.

Really nice work. Modeling, lighting and for the most part the materials look good. I agree with the comments concerning the material tweeks (reflection leves raised), camera correction modifier (straighten out your verticle lines) and the exterior environment.

Images look great but the grid image one the window looks big and very pixelated. is the grid actually that size or can you scale it down?
the bluriness of alpha map really shows up on next to the bricks. nice bricks! displacement map?

nice bricks! displacement map?

yup it's good old displacement.

the whole thing seems a bit "computery"

I agree with that as well...I just got lost in tweaking too many things and it got out of control.

Thanks for all the good feedback so far. Hopefully I will get to it this week and send an updated image.
