ha ha this was so long ago im not sure i can remember!
i have improved since this image, so ill give some advice from my current knowledge. the vray sun is very good to use, but if you are going to use it, you make have to resort to a vray camera (with expose control) or turn down intensity
i usually down the intensity to about 0.003 for an exterior render, or to 0.04 for interior renders
then in vray environment settings (in render panel) put a nice blue in the colour slot, dont bother with vray sky if you have turned down intensity
for my GI i use irrandiance map for primary bounces and quasi monte carlo (or brute force) in secondary
there is no one lighting setting that can be used for every scene, you have to keep fiddling until you get it right for that scene
hope that helps a bit

Wow. I really like the lighting here. I like the softness on the wall and in the reflection of the ball. You did a really nice job.

cheers
took me so long to get the lighting to semi work!
ive been thinking of revisiting this one, its probably a bit too dark in places
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True I think that the center frame is alittle dark. But overall I like the contrast of darker and lighter parts. Lighting is definitely one part I really need to work on.

yeah lighting takes so long to get
i still dont think ive fully got it yet

Well I think you have a pretty good concept so far. Just keep tweaking it and I'm sure you'll find something you are happy with.

lightning a bit dark (hint: don't use push button render technique)
paintings are dark and blurry
the wood on the paintings are reflecting as much as the glass
floor needs wood texture it looks plastic
there are some weird spots on the walls
just some constructive crit

whats push button technique? ive never seen or heard about that
yeah im planning on retaking photos of the pictures (at the time i had no camera, so i had to use my laptop webcam lol)
where are the wood frames reflecting?
the floor is actually cork tiles which are varnished, if you compare it to a photo (im thinking of uploading it soon) its is almost exactly the same
and as for the weird spots, i need to up the render settings to remove the noise, not looking forward to that i used moderate settings and this took 6 hours, high settings will likely take a few days

the frame on the far side wall is reflecting
whats push button technique?....dont just render with default settings on vray or mental ray, you need to play with some illumination settings and push it right up
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh trust me i have fiddled SHIT LOADS
you couldnt see anything originally, it took me days of work just on the lighting to get this far
and the piture frame is actually a thin metal bar around it. the dark area is part of the picture (covered with glass)

Lighting looks great. Maybe a little more noise on the sphere to match the background? And soften the shadow ever so slightly more.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

i should rerender it some time

This's probably best one in your gallery recently. Looks different from other.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah its pretty much the only semi finished thing recently, everything else is only half set up
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Fantastically realistic lighting, and material on the sphere too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah the sphere there was to show it IS cg (i dont own one last time i checked)
you would not believe how long it took to set the lighting up though!

cool. looks pretty good! what kind of lighting setup did u use?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
im using vray, and usind its global illumination system, and a vray sun.
vray basically makes everything look good once u learn a bit about it.
but it did take me a while to get the lighting right coz it can stuff up

i use maya. so Vray isn't really supported all too well
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah i suppose, mental ray is just fiddly to set up, vray is push a button and u get a photreal cube (almost) but it still has all the customisation.
but vray would mean relearning, so if u can use mental well stick with it! im just lazy!

i've tried vray a few times... it was awesome. but i used it in 3ds max, and i epically fail at 3ds max D: i like vray.. but shame 3ds max is a fag to me >:[

rly? i hate maya, it has all these 'smart tabs' its kinda like the new microsoft word i hate that i prefer 2003 word.
bit off topic lol
max just has it all summed up in a modifier list.
but, there is a new version of vray that i have heard of that is compatible with maya (or so i hear)
