Something done as part of a design project we've been working on (now on hold), but also submitted for one of the Render of the Month challenges.

Nice! I very much like the light bounce from the wall, Mark. Good composition!

Thanks Forester,

It was all a bit of a rush at the time. I too like the composition but feel we could have pushed the realism a bit further, knowing what Maxwell is capable of. One thing we learnt from the process was not to use a low quality IBL - the one used was off one of those holiday web booking sites which was only a few hundred kB in size but had the right location for the project! I was impressed though, with Maxwell's ability to still "pull out" subtle lighting from the image which was the only light source for the render.
....enjoy your Christmas

Wishing you the very best for the New Year, Mark!
