I added a carpet texture (credit goes to the maxwell materials forum) Added another render, hopefully this will invoke a comment or two. I still have texture stretching on my curtains, I will work on finding a maya tool that can script it so that the UVs become more under control.

Few details to work out: sofa creases, magazine and book textures, picture frame textures, rug, there is some texture stretching on the curtains

I really don't enjoy how the uploader reduces the quality of the image. Especially in a forum that relies on quality of image so highly. Really poor. I will be manually uploading all my images over again and here on forward. The attachment function is easy to use and creates a nice thumbnail, but it's a total fail.

No crits from me, that's a great render, I really like it.

I work on 3D about once a week in my free time, I work in 2D for a living so I don't get a lot of practice with this 3D stuff lately. I did work in 3D for about 2 years but was laid off and decided I didn't want to chase contract jobs and look for new work every few months, so I work in a print shop as a more steady income. Anyway, here is my study of an IKEA room layout that I've modified and added a few things here and there. I need suggestions on what program or what technique to get nice creases in my couch leather. Also need any good ideas or the like for making a shag rug, thick fibers and really shaggy and soft looking for under the coffee table. Here is a quick shot of a part of the room that I rendered off today, I will post my earlier ones a bit later on so you can see my progress. Just using a skylight right now with no roof so the light can flow into the room for quick easy lighting while I am working on the models. Small update... I spent a bunch of time trying a few things to make a shag rug and I think I have a decent method set up, but with such a high poly count I will have to leave the rug for the very last part of the project.

Amazing render, where do you find references or inspiration for your work? Not even crits, just minor suggestions, 1. The plates on display leaning in the corner look like they are void of a holder and look as if they are a half second away from sliding off the edge and smashing on the floor. (unless they are there and I just cannot see them) Should look something like this: http://media.photobucket.com/image/plate%20display%20stand/psphotos_bucket/100_8337.jpg 2. I would have a slightly darker and more brown soil texture in the planter, but that's just me. A++

The space was largely due to a hardware limitation, the single core 2.8ghz I had to work with was painful to design in after a certain poly point, struggling to even open maya at some points. Now I've got an upgraded machine and I'm looking for inspiration for a next project that will far surpass the quality of this, I wanted to do a final quick animation to finally put this project to rest before moving onto the next.

Short animation of a kitchen interior scene I made in Maya. I'm not in the architecture industry, I just did this in my spare time, for fun, using reference images from an ikea showroom layout. Not very exciting to watch, but I wanted to advance past a single frame render into something a bit more lively
