Hi All,

This is my first post in quite a while, so I feel kind of left out and
out-classed as it seems the entire news-group has surpassed me. Anyway, I
decided to restart my brain's POV-lobe and attempt some texturing and a fair
amount of realism in the image.

This is my attempt at redecorating my mom's kitchen for her (get these
images to do double-duty). The scale is accurate. The stone texture is
generated from one of the POV standard stones, but with a bump-map I grabbed
from www.thesimsresource.com and overlayed with a "dust" texture to break it
up a little. The floor was grabbed at the same place. The wallpaper she
picked from a wall and flooring website, it too has the dust applied to it.

The lighting design, which is not evident yet (but it is present), consists
of five variable track lights and three fixed position "sphere" lamps. I did
lighting design for live theatre for five years, so I attempted to model the
behavior of the light and spill as accurately as I could and am very pleased
with the results thus far.

If many of you think that the JPEG compression is too high (trying to
conserve space on the news server), I will upload a nice PNG or something to
a website.

Applause and praise is preferred, but I always need a lot of really nasty
muckery to get me ticked off enough to become motivated and angry.

Thanks,
D.J.
