My Dream Office Tweet

[bagel]

My wife and I have always had a romantic attachment to industrial spaces, what with raw brick, exposed beams, concrete and the like. We dream of one day converting an industrial space into a warm and lived in home. Who knows!
Over the last few days I've been setting up shots to render of my dream office (with dream computer included.)

Software: Cinema 4D
Renderer: OR 4
Models: Mostly CGAxis but a few custom, from scratch. I'm still working on that aspect of CG design.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Overall, that's a wonderful render, but that poured epoxy bar-top finish on the floor is a bit distracting in an otherwise very convincing image.

Ah, I think you really nailed down for me what was so off about that floor. epoxy bar-top... something was bugging both my wife and I about it. I'll have another go at the material and see if I can't take it down a notch. Originally, I had bare wood with no finish, but then I thought about that office chair going over that would be a nightmare. I'll have to find a compromise. Thank you for the feedback!

Took another stab at the floor. Scaled it down a little bit and tried to model the same diffuse gloss coating on the floor in my dining room. Better?

Ah, there you go! Nice work.

Looks coolQ
The floor could use a normal/bump map for irregularities
