Just practicing some more interiors rendering :), practiced some lighting for this one, critics and comments and tips to improve please, thxs…
hmmm. Where is your lighting coming from? The furniture has no shadows on the floor…
hmmmm thats actually a good point, i used a night hdri and my multiplyer is pretty high, second to that i placed a rectangular light as well…i wonder if thats whats causing super soft shadows…how would you set your interior lighting andybot? 
I really like using the spotlights - and since your lighting is indicated by the lights in the ceiling - that is where I would start. The nice thing with spotlights is that you can set the cone angle, penumbra angle, and radius - which all help cast gentle shadows around the furniture. I have examples in some of my renderings on my website. I’ll post some links when I have a chance.
thanks, that makes sence, i will update the scene with spot lights
perhaps look for a better leather material. Make the groove of the floor a bit smaller.
Newgate, I have an example for you showing how I use spotlights for interior rendering, see this image: http://orbandesign.andyorban.com/gallery2010/custom%20residence/images/large/\_0044630741.jpg
My spotlight settings are the following (with a fairly wide spread - you can decrease the cone angle to 0.6 or 0.8 for a narrower beam):
Physical camera is on
Intensity: 2100 - Lumious Power
Decay: Inverse square
Penumbra falloff: linear
Cone angle: 1.6
Penumbra angle: 0.4
Shadow radius: 5.0
shadow subdivs: 12 (you can use higher for smoother shadows)
I also have a rectangular light just below the ceiling that is hidden (and hidden from reflection) to give some more general illumination.
@nomer: i always had a bit of touble with the leather material, i end up producing alot of noise, but now is as good time to make a good one, thanks for d advice nomer, i’ll try to pull a rich leather on this.
@andybot: thanks a million, i will play with the setting today hopefully i can get the right settings for my scene..that was an amazing render by the way
Thanks, glad you like!
I’ll be curious to see how you come along with the spotlights.
Nice renders Newgate, what I would say though is everything seems a little too shinny and reflective.
