Any suggestions to improve photo realism. I used pmc with daylight setting...is this correct.
I need to apply more materials (computer screen etc.)

To start with you can change the lighting to an interior lighting...Now it looks like a exterior sunlightbeam for an interior scene and that is kind of strange
Secondly i only see colors and no textures used (besides the floor) and the screen is unreal white.
Maybe you can study some photography of interior and try to improve from an example you linger for to realize.
Start from there and show us your next step for comments to improve.

Thanks rappet for the feedback.
You have hit the nail on the head as the counter looks like it is outside in the carpark,
not in the shopping centre. I will try setting up a studio with walls, ceiling and lighting, as I have done in the past with Maxwell.
I am a little disappointed in the image, as it seems time consuming to model in AutoCAD, export to 3dmax ( I do have 3dmax plug-in but am a novice), export to octane.
I can achieve acceptable image (nowhere near octane quality) by rendering within AutoCAD or Revit. Bring on the plug-in to AutoCAd and Revit
I use these images as a "catalogue" of fixtures and fittings to relay concept to shopfitters (a picture is worth a thousand words)
I normally put a rider on documents stating that colours and textures are indicative only, and normally I supply a physical finishes board.
I take on board your comment re the materials...i have a long way to go.

Further to this (probably for another post) I have been looking at getting an extra graphics card, as my Quadro600 (96 cudas) struggles with Octane.
Being an old B..., and not up to the latest tech, it took a while to discover that none of my computers (I have 10+) motherboards support 2 gpu's
Being a hoarder of computers, I still have the first one I bought in 1986 (NEC Powermate SX) cost me AUD $16,000 with Licensed AutoCAD and DRCauto
paid extra $1000 for maths co-processor chip as this (from memory) was required to run AutoCAD 14
Puts me in a dilemma as my "old" cad machine does have GTX260 (192 cudas) with 750w supply ....do I use it for Octane, and then either upgrade the card or my system
My "old" cad machine is a Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz 8 GB of ram
My current cad machine is i7 [email protected] GHz 12 GB ram

sorry about the waffle, its been a long day
Once again, I thank you for your time to respond to my post
