Hi jojo1975,
I am currently working on this scene, but it will take a while as I am paying attention to small details. If no one else has nothing to show, for me is fine to close this challenge. 
I will keep working on it.
Right now I am working with different types of grass to add more realism.
Here is an update:
@jojo1975 I thought this might happen 
here is my final on the other angle I did before, I forgot to post. Im done with this challenge and thanks for this one it was a ton of fun. Let me know if you do a final gallery
Here is my wip no post work . i will add some grass and trees tothe final image.

batcha love the materials and the light. Look forward to check your final image. And Chrisis how hard is to create a small animation so we can see it?
@ batcha astonishing start, pls keep posting.
Also I will wait a few times for more entry. And what about exploring different angles for this competition ? there will be a final gallery (and probably also cake ! :)))
@preston. Very solid entry. i like the contrast of colors and the light is very soft and gentle, well done
@cyrus, keep going !
@chrisis, I’m really curious on seeing this rt experiment. why don’t’ you try a cinematic ? a video will be awesome
@nicelife, waiting for the new renders with changed light
@mblues. You still have time to tweak the scene if you desire. The shaders need a bit of work (translucency on the curtains) Also I will soft a bit the shadows. keep going !
@FeD I really want more from you ! Pls post more 
This challenge is going strong ! Please keep posting
Thanks for the interest guys! Totally planning on making a vid, got got swept into another project I need to finish.
@cyrus waiting for the final renders
Hi Chrisis,
I am working on that. I am gathering and modeling some samples of grass and all the small plants you can find in the nature. I think that this weekend I can start working more on the external materials. I need to find a texture to exterior tiles.
I create a specific post for this work -> Farnsworth House
Thanx jojo1975
Thanx cyrus3v
I am working on trees and out side grass right now only problem i am facing with trees is there random color values of leaves. i will surely post some images this weekend. definitely i will try to light other angles of this later.
-Batcha
The problem I am getting with the grass is that I am not getting much variation that I want, even using alpha maps. I am using Multiscatter plugin. :argh:
Are you using Forest Pack plugin?
@jojo: The past weeks were filled with work but I finally have some time this weekend to finish the renders and the post.
Here is My Wip 02 No post work. Maya And Mental Ray.

Still working on The Trees and grass. any help with the horizon line will be appreciated (What do i do with it ??) can’t afford to add more trees also i don’t want to blur them that much 
…
-Batcha
Hello very one.
How do i blur the trees in reflection?? i am tring with depth pass but its only giving me inside house value’s? There is a glass sheet in kitchen and the trees are visible. I want them to get blurred as well. Any help please i have tried everything in my knowledge. :banghead: .
-Batcha
Are you using the Reflection pass? You can mask the areas you want to blur and use the reflection pass with blur.
cyrus3v
Thanks for the tip. Any help with getting that blur information in depth pass(Reflection blur ,Refraction blur)or a direct render with in maya without comp?
-Batcha
I just notice you are using mental ray. There is an option in the mental ray material which allows you to have blurry reflections. As soon I get home I will check that for you.
Hi folks,
here is my final entry. I finally managed to finish it and it was worth to do the feedback I got here. Thank you very much for that.
I re-worked the lighting and did several shader tweaks for the wood and leather. I also modeled the floor and gave it different stone texture. I also re-modeled the bed to look more like the original one I found here: http://www.quattrodesign.fr/(p1zgbz55al3gxbn1odatunmk)/%5Cuser%5Ctextes%5CClassics_Mies_Van_Der_Rohe%5C02_Barcelona_Day_Bed_Mies_Van_Der_Rohe.jpg
I also changed the fur on the carpet. I made the hairs longer, thicker and denser.
Hope you like it.
@cyrus: The grass work looks really nice. I’m looking forward to the rest of it.
@batcha: I really like the background work you did. The tree leaves look very nice here. Have you done them with SSS?
I would remove the stool at the bottom right because the geometry of the button looks a little of here. You also should add some refraction color to the glass table to get a blue greenish tint on the sides which is typical for glass. I am looking forward to the final image.
Thankyou!! @nicelife :bounce:
I have corrected the glass shader and replaced stool with a small plant as per your suggestion and its realy looking better now. I have also managed to add more trees Hurray!! tree leaves are done with mentalray mia_meterial with translucency.
cyrus3v grass looks fantastic 5!!. I figured out the solution for reflection blur .Added DOF lens shader in the camera and its working.
Can someone explain what is best way to create curtain cloth shader ? SSS, Translucency or any other method ? All are giving different results i am confused. i will post the final images soon.
-Batcha
nicelife your image is fantastic. I like the warm color and subtle leaf shadows. I am glad that you and batcha liked my grass. I am trying to find the perfect balance between the different types of grass that we can find.
batcha, I was thinking that a material can reflect like a mirror unless you change the glossiness or maybe in your case you can use a specular map to add some variation to your reflection. That is one thing I am also doing using a specular map for my materials to add that touch of realism.
Have a look at this article Materialism
I did a quick walk through of my photoshop file. You can watch it here.
@batcha:
In modo I did the same thing with simple SSS for the curtains meaning setting scattering distance to 0 which in your case with mental ray should be the translucency. So similar to the leaves. In post I then added an AO pass to the curtains (multiply and 50% opacity) to get some details back which were blown out by the light. Found that one by accident :).
@cyrus: Glad you like it.
