blueline22,

I've merged your 3 separate, identical topics into this one thread. Please just post a reply to an existing topic if you have more info / images to share rather than starting a fresh (duplicate) one.

Cheers,
Karl

They look pretty good for a start. Interiors are very hard to do well mostly because there is less margin for error and details become exaggerated. The lighting is too harsh overall. The floor boards are way overexposed in the dining room, the gallery lighting is very strange and the light source(s) in the living are mysterious.

To get these working you have to think like a photographer. How do you set the scene? What story are you trying to tell? Are you engaging the audience? Assuming you are going for attractiveness, the spaces need to look like places one wants to be in, eat in, relax in, etc.

Probably just sat through too many of his lectures. 😉 Always entertaining. He makes a point of keeping his material fresh.

Yes, I agree that the lighting is not perfect in any of the renderings. Asides from that are there any good qualities that you see in them?

You have it "staged" pretty well, most of the time I forget or don't have enough time to add the books on shelves or light fixtures on ceilings and stuff like that. Those are little things that could make the difference in a rendering.

You can't really qualify aspects of a rendering if the lighting is uncontrolled.

My advice is to compare these images with photography of similar spaces done by professional photographers who [big free hint] BRING SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHTING. Then reduce and adjust to suit.

My [big free hint] BOOK addresses techniques for interior lighting with LightWorks.
