Thank you very much for the suggestions. For me, I hate Photoshop work. I will do anything to avoid it. I don't like compositing a sky because the lighting never matches (how could it?) I've seen some very interesting tests from some here on the subject of clouds with Maxwell SSS which is exciting!
About the reflections in the glass, I usually put an mxi emitting plane in the scene with a tree line for good reflections, but you know how deadlines are... At 1 a.m. on Sunday night I had to say "Enough!"

Cant believe I missed the clock renders! The second clock render is the best! Great modelling too!

Do Like the mood and camera setup of that last render! Keep them coming!

[KurtS]

I agree - the clock is great. Nice design to - quite different from your furniture stuff...!

[Bubbaloo]

Thanks, teabag and kurts!

Here's a little scene I set up for my clock model (the little round thing to the left) :


The bed, lamp, tray/coffee cups, and bedside table are from Intero Visuals, retextured with Maxwell materials by moi.

Very nice Brian. Pillows maybe feel a bit firm, but really nice job on the mood and mats.

Thanks, Brett! You can "feel" the pillows?
I tried to smooth them with turbosmooth, but it didn't help much. I think the hard shadow on the white pillow might be the result of that pesky sunlight/normal map/smoothing bug.

Thanks, Brett! You can "feel" the pillows?

Sure can - man of many talents

That shadow/smoothing issue can be a pain.

Nice work in any case.

cool shot!.. very nice mood.

..but could you sleep with a clock over your head like that ?

Nice render but that white pillow looks very uncomfortable.

[Bubbaloo]

Nice render but that white pillow looks very uncomfortable.

It's not a pillow, it's a brick...

Good mood and image... like other say, maybe work on more comfortable and soft pillows but it's always a difficult work part.

very Good overall

Nailed morning atmosphere and unusual cut...i like it a lot!

[KurtS]

very nice, Buballoo.
The sharp/unpleasant shadow on the white pillow (brick) is happening in Maxwell when you apply bump to a curved surface. Try to use a subtle displacement layer instead of the bump and it will probably disappear.

Here's a rerender of a scorpion model I made a while back. I added a displaced ground beneath him. I'm thinking of adding a plant in there too to give it some color.
