Frances, the only thing I see here that could make a big difference right away would be non-uniform sheen on your materials. Your wood and that... what is it, granite?... dark strip at the top of the image start to read false when the speculars have absolutely nothing breaking them up. Even the most "coated" surface has a touch of variation on its surface. The best way to do this is by weightmapping the "sheen" layer with an inverse on the base layer, so that you're only getting sheen in certain places, or with varying intensities. That will take some of the "perfect" out of the image and give it a bump. Also, the stone tiling could probably use with a lot more bump, or a "convert bump/displacement map to geometry" if Max supports such a thing, like Maya does.

Thanks Stuart. :) The render time for the original is 11.5 hours. I just posted a link to the same render after 27hr10min. 16 hours makes quite a difference. :lol:

u.biq :P I used Vray for the production render, which wasn't of this view at all. It was a cut-away view looking the other way. If I can get bump-mapping and shinyness the way I want them, I'll consider using Maxwell in the future for production. It will depend on the lighting situation though.

Personaly, i find the last rendering too dark in some area (near the cushion). Try to lower the burn setting (0.2 or less) and set the gamma to 2.4, then increase the shutter speed to get the same lighting as before. After doing that, the contrast will be much better (the beta feeling will be back). This process help to calibrate the contrast of the white and the black...i don't know how to explain :oops: . The best is you try and tell me what you think about it.
