A Kitchen

[Psy]

It's a work in progress, need to add some more furniture into it mainly and tweak it some more. Also, so no one screams, I opted for glossy paint for the ceiling, which is why the cupboards are semi-reflected in it.

Specular bloom was added in Photoshop 7.

C&C away!

looks great but i think the reflections are a bit to strong.

[Psy]

I went off what I have in my house, freshly waxed and polished floors with 4 coats of polyurethane really do look practically like mirrors.

[Spinoza]

i have such floors too but mine are a bit more used then.

i only think that too much reflection make a image look more like CG.

Looks good,the light spilling in from the hall is nice a few crits (mostly subjective):



I would expect a bit of warp in a stainless panel that size.

Wood finishes are a little too eclectic or I would expect more color in the scene. ie. colored walls , some interesting tile and flatware.

needs some baseboard

I would expect the space between the uppers to align to the sink.

Maybe reduce the GI that the uppers are bleeding onto the ceiling.

[Psy]

there is some baseboard, its rather dark. unless your meaning moulding running along the floors edges?

[RErender]

yep, that's what i meant, along the floor

The terminology you're after is "skirting" at the floor/wall junction.

Excellent image Psy. Here are my comments:

* The stainless steel counter could do with a little specular grain/scratches.
At the moment it's just looking like blurred chrome.

* Out of the differnt types of timber on your cupboards, I'd say the "beech"
coloured one looks the best. The cupboards up above seem too red.

* I love the lighting. Perhaps the next step is to some IES downlights above the stainless counter. Or perhaps a hanging tracklight.

* Please, please run me through your setup. How many lights? Settings?
Render times?

Great work Psy.

after i fix all the things that everyone is pointing out, i'll write a tute.

oh, and sunny. just 1 direct light. I strongly feel that natural light is the best way to go, and its better for the body. I like my vitamin D.

[Ahmosality]

go forward

[sunny]

Wow Psy. I'm surprised it's only 1 direct light. Can't wait to
see you tut on the scene.

Sunny.
