Hi there,
a potential new Customer wants to replace their catalogue Photos with
3D Images. I took a random photo from their recent catalogue an
tried to recreate it in 3D. Modeling and shading was made in one day.
The rendering took less than an hour in screen resolution.
comments welcome,
cheers,

That looks really good. They are very close! I think it will be a lot harder though when you don’t have photo’s to replicate, and you have to create virtual sets on your own. For instance, would you have know to add those reflective caustics from the sink on the wall? Will they have a creative director or set designer that will help you create the right look?
without the photo as a reference, i am guessing you would get a lot of resistance to the caustics from the sink in a rendering. …at least from my experience, someone would fixate on that, an tell you that they feel it is wrong, even though it is right.

the renderings are great. I got a similar project and it’s not so easy to get photorealistic images without a reference. 
but I curious about your results.
best regards

very well done. Of course its not an exact match, but pretty close. Your shadows seem a tad too sharp, which could be easily fixed.
Very good for 1 day work. Don’t tell your client that it took only one day, He’ll pay less 
I had the idea to replicate a picture as a case study, but just for fun… maybe in this forum section soon
That looks pretty damn good. Sure not an exact match like Percy said but impressive nonetheless
Nice work in this short time! Better then reallity…
I whould just soften the shadows a little.
