Hi,

I´m working on this for some time now in Lightwave+octane. I already created a few interiors with octane but it´s one of the first exteriors, so every help or critic is welcome.

a few questions:

For the sky I´m using a backdrop image, but I think it´s a roundabout way. Also, the backdrop image will not shown in the reflections of glass or water. Is there a better way to include a skyplane or skydome to the scene?

Rendering this image already took about 2.5 hours with 1 geforce titan, but it still looks noisy. What kind of lights should I use to render a bit faster?

If you have any tip how to increase the renderspeed, please let me know.
