Hi All,
this is my fist work with octane.
Unfortunately the time was short... needed a bit more cooking
PT, 2h for each image.

Not bad...just the background picture does not look well proportioned to me, on the 2nd image the window outside looks too big or close..
overall.. a good set

Very good start, Magog

can you reduce the roughness of the water, now it's seems like gel

two things I would have done dif. otherwise very good.
Put a bump or normal map, or something on the floor to stop it from turning to one big reflection where you're supposed to have grout. (perhaps even making the Mesh deform or having dif. materials assigned to that grout if nothing else... time consuming as that would be)
Water isn't usually so flat in its reflective properties, I'd suggest making it a specular material (looks like it's a rough glossy material with some transparency maybe?)

Thanks guys.
A lot of mistakes, I know..
..a bit of inexperience with octane, first job, and then the time was really little!!!

Hey,
Have you tried rendering with pathtracing ? It will give a much better result than directlighting...
