Poliform Pouf + Tripod Lamp

[StompinTom]

Here is what I did today.

I'm still learning the ropes with Vray and getting to know what does what, so I spent some time today exploring material and light setups in a scene. These two furniture pieces are just background elements in the scene but I came up with a few test renderings of them that seemed nice enough to stand on their own. So the modeling isn't all that special, but I was going for the slick black-leather-and-chrome feel of the space.

Materials could use tweaking, especially the floor and the leather. Comments/crits/tips welcome!

Nice test and nice mood in the images, I think the grey-tone of the image turns out well.
The leather texturing is very good but I think the texture of the "sunshield" isn't that convincing, it's a bit too blurry, not "fine" enough.
I don't know what the material is for it but perhaps you could try some other things.

Good point, I'll have to tweak the sunshade a bit. Maybe not for this project but for future ones as I need to move on, but I rushed the material on it

I like 6-zentub2-detail3 - interesting light =)

I really like the first one, apart from the 3D content, it is simply a good graphical composition. Reminded me of my drawing lessons at faculty of architecture when we were taking still life images of "randomly" arranged real objects of different functions.
So.. well composed and elegant scene.

Nice work.

Could you point me to where you learnt to do such great leather ? I'm still struggling with that.

The lighting is very nice.

The leather is just a tileable leather texture with very fine bump. It's mostly the bump + soft reflection of it that make it look like leather in my experiments. The bump naturally breaks up and diffuses the reflections so that it still appears shiny.
