Escape Cabin

Description:

Where I am at: I feel like the floor is there, maybe just a touch to glossy. The door jamb is either to much displacement and a little to reflective. Need to still add stuff like plates and things on the table. Window mullions! Considering swapping out the chairs.

 

Lighting is a mixture on HDRI and mr Directional outside, mr Light Portals at all openings. the lights over the table are set to 20 watt incandescent. And, I have an omni in the room to the left for fireplace glow.

 

I feel like I am struggling to get this to feel photo-realistic. I would really appreciate feedback, comments, criticism. I am also happy to share rendering settings if it will help the conversation.
