Good job @jack07 ! It’s pretty realistic overall. I like the first version a little better because the sunlight’s shadows on the left wall are more interesting to me. I only have a few notes:
- The splotchiness is an artifact of the denoiser, which is what the dark spots are on the toiler. So that’s a significant detractor from realism but it’s a simple fix: more samples.
- Wood floor and vanity could use more reflectivity (higher strength lower roughness value). They look purely diffuse and since a lot of the walls are diffuse the floor is a great opportunity to introduce variety. Besides wood floors are usually reflective to some degree.
- The rug on the floor strikes me as an unusual color scheme: Orange and Black. I know it’s that season and people have relative tastes…but I wouldn’t say it matches that well with the room’s design.
It’s a B+ from me 👍
Your light match is very appealing. I completely agree that bold lighting can do wonders for good and less-good models. The biggest difference I see between yours and the source is the intensity of the cyan lights (stronger in the source) and that there seems to be 2 of them: One from the left (which you have) but also one from the top. It’s a small note though. Worthy of an A overall.
Way to finish strong!
