Mtn House interiors

Updates. Per client - revised stone, added fire, revised wall texture, revised flooring.

Continuing to benefit from Chad Stevens help (thanks!) - Changed De-Noiser from default to Mild. Added bump to some of the textures.

hope I'm not making this too long of a thread.

Every update is increasing in quality. I much prefer the new floor you added as well, it suits the rest of the interior far better than the previous. Don't worry about thread length, if length was a problem most of the best threads would never exist.

Cheers.

I like how this one has progressed!

I like how far this has come as well and is greatly improved from the first posts, the only things jumping out at me are the fire that is looking like a cardboard cutout stuck in there and maybe adding a self Illumination to it might make it more believable. The second which bothers me from the first post down is your "fill" light. it looks and feels like an amateur photographer has the on camera flash pointed to the ceiling to attempt to bounce more light around the room and gives it an unnatural feel to the lighting. I would be tempted to either turn it down further and increase the colour temp to something a little warmer or turn it off completely and if you need more light in the scene then slow down the shutter speed on the camera to lighten it. Theses are just personal opinions and as you said earlier as long as the client loves it then that's what counts, over all great job.

Thank you Warifus.

Dave, your comments are very helpful and valuable to me. Yeah I got frustrated with the fire/flames and have struggled in the past with getting decent looking flames in fireplaces. I tired a lot of this and that but it always looked poor and then I gave up. I like the idea of adding some self illumination and I'm going to try that. sort of reluctant to mess with that fill light now that I have overall sign off from client but your comments are well taken. Next time I will strive to be more careful with fill lighting. Thank you!

Yea if the client signed off already then just run with it Im also a photographer and although I have and do use my studio lights I prefer to shoot without them whenever I can.
