wow, this is awesome!

I really like the modeling here, nice work. I'm interested in the render engine you used? It looks like mental ray? Or perhaps Vray sun? But really good modeling

Nice work author.Good luck.

thnx......
well I have used mental ray with day light and sky light

A lot of work here and definitely not in vain.. very nice image and textures. (And a good SBS too). I would love to see some trees or street view or something behind the fence, but it's just a minor detail really... add a flower to the vase(s) and a candle or bulb inside the lamps and I'm all sold. (Well, I am already..) Great job, author..

Great work author...well done

nicely done ! good luck

This is done very well.... good work!

Some pretty nice modeling but to me it looks as tho you have used the same texture for 85% of the image?

thanks warlock......
well in flower pot i did some variation in texture and, the light poll,fence and tiny models are textured with default max texture..... but rest of the texture are painted.....

Congrats for your first place!

Congrats for 1st

Congrats nice work

Congrats!!!

I'm repeating myself here.. but 90% of the pictures need a proper background.. and this is one of them. Make a nice, clean and colorful chessboard and this will look so much better. You can also show your skills with the board.The piece itself is very clean and nicely done.

(Well, any kind of background. Be it a table, a satin cushion, some clothing or anything else..)

I'm satisfied about my background. As the contest moderator said it should look like a real macro shot. I used a "digital white box" for my background just like a photograph may do it.

Well, I'm assuming it's a glass texture and it would look a lot better with something showing through. But anyways, the piece itself is very good work, solid and clean.

Nice image, would like to see an SBS. Did you have the caustics turned on? Which render engine did you use? vray, scanline, or mentalray? Did you use any fill lights to enhance the HDR image? I do like this, I just wish you could expand on your explanation with an SBS.

I didn't use any renders in 3ds Max. Normally I Would use Mental Ray but for this clean untextured scene I used KeyShot 2 with a custom build shader.

Nice modeling, do feel that the background is lacking contrast.

cool

Fantastic. Such a realistic feeling to this. Well done.

god job....

absolutely beautiful, very cool to use your photos as wall pictures.

ack... congrats on this one as well...

This one looks Great Good Work

COOL REALLY COOL

Nice atmosphere!

is this graphic, or real life? i cant quite tell, but its very beautiful!

Thanks!

wonderfully done!!!

This is some more killer work, what sort of machine/computer did you use to render this on? How long did it take?

@Ichappell. Thanks I have an AMD dual core 3600, with 4GB of ram, and an Nvidia GS 8600 Graphics card (512mb). I run windows XP 64 Pro with SP3. This image took about 25 mins to render at 1920x1080 pxls. (probably alot less if I didn't have so much junk running in the background lol) I did have the Vray settings quite low. If this had been for a client I would have rendered it at much higher settings probably taking the render times into about 6-8 hours for a simple interior like this.

Beautiful work, author! Yikes, you call that a simple interior? I call it amazing.

Congrats Rob, a place I'd like to eat at, well done

congrats on your first and second place... way to go...

congrats on first and second

Congrats.... for 1st nd 2nd places
