Hey guys,

I´m working on this living room scene, but would like your feedback and suggestions. Would you consider this presentable to a client, or does it need more work?

Thanks for your help.

I like the natural light setting, it really sells the mood of the image.
Maybe a little blur to the background plate (outside view) would help to give an illusion of depth and elevation.

i agree, the enviroment outside the window looks too flat, almost like a painting. Maybe a little more exposure on post can fix it.
The design is really cool, but the image is kind of noisy. I would also check the texture/mapping of the stones on the fireplace, i think they are stretched.
Dont get me wrong, is looking nice , but there is room for improvement without much hassle.
keep it up!

Hi guys,

thank you so much for your suggestions. I'm completely new to the 3d world. I have made some changes to the image, but i can't get the outside view plane to get blurry? How do i do that best?

Here is the new image...let me know what you think

Hi Ben,
you can blur and adjust the exposure in your image editor or if you are using HDR image, you can adjust the exposure value in Vray where you load your bitmap.
I think with your first render, the background image is too blue compare to your interior lighting, so I'd add more exposure to the background image to make it more white.

With your 2nd render, I think it changed the mood to a more evening look as suppose to the late mid-afternoon look in your first render, and it does look slightly more photographic compare to your first render, but the amount of light that gets into the interior doesn't seem to match the exposure of your background plate too well, but I can't exactly pinpoint why ... something just look off ... maybe the sun direction is off considering how light the sky where the tree is(?)

hope this helps a bit
