Tried modeling and rendering an environment for the first time. It was a fun learning experience.

nice renders mate...the light looks kinda big and the image looks blurry somehow..need more sharpness..but anyways good work

for being a first try...i'm curious to sse your next job!

really nice images, the second one seems in AOmode, but the first none, is it right?, could you tell us more about the illumination?

thanks, Paolo

hi sheep factory, i like both renders, can you talk about the illumination, please ? how you make your walls so white ?

Thanks guys!

The first one is pathtracing render using a free HDRI I downloaded from the net. The second one is direct light with sunlight (new). Both in AO mode.

I used octane database materials for the floor, pillows and the lamp. The rest are flat octane materials. I did some light post work in photoshop with overlayed and multiplied gradient layers other than that its straight out of octane.

Merid the walls are just a white diffuse material. I spend a lot of time playing with exposure/fstop so you should take a look there if you are having problems getting your walls to look white.

Thanks again for the comments.

As a tip, in order to get correct and natural whites, I always use the color balance button. It makes miracles to me, and saves me a lot of time color balancing in photoshop (It´s the rainbow-colored wheel, between the autofocus button and the materials button)
