Here's a render I let cook over the weekend, still much to do!
As always, give me your comments so I can improve it!!

Thanks, devista.
You're right, the bg needs more tweaking.

C'mon, people.
Negative comments are better than no comments.

The wood could be just a little bit more reflective. Are you using glass for the display? It would be faster using AGS, you would only lose the refraction lines at the edges of the glass plates, if that's ok.

Finally, a little post processing can help, original at bottom:

Looking very good Brian - the outside is still looking weird though. It's greyed out - looks like a darkened LDR image. Case is looking great though.

Thanks, guys!
Mihai, I used AGS at first, but it did not look realistic enough for me.
Believe it or not, the edge refractions make a big difference!

Agree with the outside image lacking contrast and brightness at the moment. Nice work so far!

[Bubbaloo]

Thanks, uh, Hyperballad???

A few changes:

Lookin' sweet.

I think your background image needs to be somewhat out of focus, since the lense looks wide and is focussing on the interior....
......also maybe tonemap it a bit, looks a little washed out to my eyes.

The floor tiles look superb.

looking great Brian - but I agree with Stuart that the outside shot still needs some work. It looks greyed out and flat, and the light coming in from the window would suggest a brighter sky, and probably a later day/warmer one. It's holding back what would otherwise be extremely high realism IMO.

Thanks for the suggestions!
Here I tried to adjust the bg photo.
Any better?

[simmsimaging]

I think it's better.

Here's a very quick/rough idea of where I think it could go. It might be a bit on the contrasty side, but it was done fast

These are looking awesome, mate! Loving the reflections on that floor.
