Hello everyone. I just started throwing things together this morning and 
this is what came out. It's open to interpretation, so I'll leave that 
up to you.

The house's construction is basic CSG. The wallpaper is a turbulent 
cyindrical pattern repeated and mirrored. For the floor and molding I 
used a really small bumps normal with fresnel reflection. High AA 
settings attempt to reduce the grainyness. The shadow of a man is an 
image I made in GIMP, which was then placed onto a box.

Radiosity couln't handle the reflections (as usual), so the molding has 
a very mottled appearance. I didn't want to raise the quality settings 
and add more time to the render.

Questions and comments always welcome.

-Samuel Benge

Awesome! As an unmarried man, I can say this without getting hit: for some,
this would be a glorious day, not a tragedy! :-) The man has one helluva
hair-cut. Did he beat her, perhaps? Just like all great art, this one is a
thinker!!!

Fantastic floor texture, and very good lighting!

I didn't acutally realize that was the shadow of a man in the doorway 
before I read the text, though. It would be more obvious if you placed 
him more to the middle of the doorway, I think. If you want it to be 
obvious, that is.

I like that!  Could you explain slower, or provide a snippet of code, 
please?

Actually, it makes it look rather like scuff-marks -- perhaps that's a 
technique that could be employed intentionally.

Very nice, all the way around, as usual!

there is a nice feel to that. the only thing that sticks out to me is the
molding at the base of the walls looks too thick and lacks some detail that
you might find in molding. some kind of prism object scaled the length of
the wall might look good.

I really agree -- the sublety makes this image special. I think making
things more "obvious" would actually ruin the image.
