Very nice!
One thing that disturbs me is the round window ending so close over the
sofa. It looks like the sofa is very very close to the wall - too close
for my taste :)
About the stuff to put on the table: If you're not going for a special
theme, the "standard" thing would be some magazines and a bowl of
fruits, but I must say I like your wine/sunset-idea better. Don't know
about the glares, though, perhaps if they're really subtle.
Greetings,
Florian

Nice :) I think I want to sit on the couch and take in the view. The
room almost reminds me of a waiting room, or perhaps a sitting room at a
lodge in the mountains.
I think someone mentioned this before, but is that backdrop from a
previous rendering of yours?

Oh. on second glance, some constructive criticism:
Just my opinion, do what you will with it: The table seems a bit tall,
perhaps shorten it a bit (5-10cm?)

Oh, I'd be happy if I could create such realistic backdrops! No, it's a
photo. This semester I had a course on Computer Graphics and all kinds of
stuff on how to merge virtual objects and reality, and I've learned that,
depending on what you want to achieve, real life is just plain useful! ;-) I
wanted to create a room with a nice lighting, the backdrop was more or less
exchangeable, so I went for a photo of mine.
Regards,
Tim

Hm, I'll have to test it. In our living room, we have a similiar sofa
(though only the black leather is actually the thing that makes them
similiar), and the table in front of it, though not made of glass (stone,
actually) is just the same height as the sitting height. I'll have a try and
see if it fits, but if it doesn't show up in the next image, I didn't like
it better than the current height. :-)
Regards,
Tim

I've raised the window somewhat, which gives a better impression. As for the
proximity to the wall: I've double-checked, and it's not really touching the
wall, but I've moved it a few centimeters off, just so that you feel
comfortable. :-)

So far, the radiosity did a fine job of creating smooth glows around bright
areas pretty good by itself. I'm considering the glares for specular
highlights and such, but I'm not too sure about it yet. The image is pretty
smooth and nice as it is, and I personally don't like "overglowed-smoothed"
images. It often feels like losing detail to me.

Tim

I was thinking about doing a variations of this image with different
backdrops and lightings.
I'm also considering to release the room (without the furniture) to see if
someone else wants to come up with a way to populate the room. Might be
interesting to see what others come up with.
Regards,
Tim

That would be an interesting experiment!!!

BTW: Very nice room!! You would be the winner in any case ;-)

Yes please.
Sounds like an entertaining project, I'd have a go at it.
You could make the suggestion that people didn't change the camera
position or the room, just the furnishings, textures and lighting (if
they dare fiddle with what is already so pretty).
It could make a good series like Giles Tran's "Variations", but whatever
the end results were like I'm sure people would learn from it.
