hi, i just finished this sceene… its pretty simple but it’s also one of those renders in wich i don’t know what else to do to make it better…
so… come on, hehe finish me (please) 
cause that’s the only way i’ll keep learning
Re: simple stairs…
It’s a very nice render!
Perhaps the bamboo colour is a bit bland. And it might add a bit more life with more leaves on the bamboo.
The floor is maybe a bit too reflective. I think the stairs would look better if the wood protruded out of the base a bit so that there is a bit more depth. Right now, with the the step running flush with the white render, it looks like the steps could have been painted on. Stepping the steps out ( 
) could give a sense of how it was constructed too :-).
Re: simple stairs…
hi stevebo.
you’re right about the wood… it does look like it is just painted, and also about the bamboo… i actually used a bamboo texture but it isn’t even visible…
i wanted to make the sceene look like if it was taken by a camera with a flash.
thank you for your comment… i’ll see what i can do to improve it 
Re: simple stairs…
This is great, but where is the picture? ;D
Re: simple stairs…
wow hahaha, don’t know where it went…
i’ll look for it later and upload it again
Re: simple stairs…
Brilliant work, mate!
You asked for it:
You said you wanted to make it look like the picture was taken using a photoflash. How about putting a spotlight next to the camera to achieve those typical cast shadows?
Here’s what I mean:
haha, that was the first reasonable image I found to express myself…
You can hardly see the cast shadows, since the light source is so close to the lens, but they’re there!
Keep up the good work!
Cheers,

Re: simple stairs…
Yes - I think some experimenting with various light sources would help it further. Something to give the lighting more variation.
Re: simple stairs…
Interesting staircase.8). To much light from 2nd floor.
