Here is my version of our first arch project. I didnt like the matrix room and I wanted to see more shadows from the sun and sky so I made some slight changes. I couldnt find images which looked real so I modeled a new outside environment. I used a fluid simulation script for the clouds and the ocean is Maya Ocean under dynamics.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Looks very good.
Most of it looks very realistic

The background is a bit distracting. Mostly I think you just need some depth of field. Some separation. The grass plants look like they are growing out of the water at first glance. This is mainly because they are in the same field of focus, but ... 200 yards apart in reality? The water draws and holds the eye, a lot.

The sofa is very cool, and nice reflections on the wall and lighting on the floor. The flowers are cool .. but the wilting maybe a little over stated. Could just be that I know it's 3D so im nitpicking. Hardest thing about criticizing 3D images is trying to forget they are 3d

I like what you did with the matrix room. What did you use to create the clouds?

I didnt even think about depth to field. I will render it and see if it looks better. I was going to mess with the maya ocean to try and make it more realistic but I think your suggestion is better.

Warren I used a free script. Here is a link http://vimeo.com/34375300. They turn out awesome but the render times are insane.

Thx, I'll check out the link

A great suggestion. I have added the image with depth of field.
