@procyonlotor Whew that light match is brilliant, John! I saw that source image on artstation the other day and had to look at the maximized version to look closer at the subsurface scatter. You nailed the equivalent look. Great job. A+ from me.
Your arch viz leaves me conflicted. You’ve done so much good in terms of photorealism. The stainless steal looks amazing with reflection breakup that looks believable but not grimy. Also the subtle reflection breakup of the green paint (on the ceiling beam above the light fixture) – that’s a wonderful touch; wonderful attention to detail. Lighting looks good too.
However some colors and material choices confuse me. Perhaps it’s just because I’ve never seen this color scheme before, but the blood red crimson wall and hunter green trim seem like particularly uncommon choices. It’s a little jarring for me. Also the stark white matte cabinets feel unfinished/unpainted next to the bold red and green. Combine that with the honey oak countertops and chairs and it just feels unmatched. Also the stone floor is very interesting but I think would be more interesting with some subtle reflectivity + bump to it.
Since I’m mostly critiquing subjective things like paint colors and material choices, you’ve still earned an B+ from me. It’s the best stainless steel I’ve seen in this kitchen scene.
