Hi
Nice scene you have.
Just a small thing I have noticed: you need to rotate UVW of the drawers so the wood grains are along the longer side.
Cheers 
Lighting Challenge #21: The Bedroom
Nice and detailed scene 
But I think in such ntidy room, owner would have a path where he walks to his bed and to door between bottles. and bottles will be lined along 2 sides of this path.
Hello Jeremy, thank you for your feedback. I will try to change it tomorrow.
here is my winter mood render.

Looks like Iām late for the party. Donāt know if Iāll have time to finish, too busyā¦
Iām rendering with 3delight.
Here is my updated render. The books just have base textures on them right now, I will finish their textures later in the week. Let me know what you think.

Hey Jeremy,
I love the lighting challenges, and there are many great entries here. Thanks a bunch.
I was attracted to what you were saying about Monetās haystacks, and so my intent was to render with one camera position, one set of materials, and to achieve all the moods with lighting alone. Unfortunately, Iāve run out of time, and I only have two done.
Glorious Morning:

Afraid of the Dark:

Okay, hereās my first one. Would love to hear any feedback!

Hopefully Iāll have time to do some more. This is the first time Iāve done one of these challenges.
It was done in Maya 2009, Mental Ray, Global Illumination and Final Gather. No compositing yet, I just left it dark outside the window for now. 
Does anyone know how to get rid of those ālens flareā looking things from the shader glow? Iād like to lose those but donā t know how. Also there are some āspecklesā around the monitor where the actual light sources are located. Iāve raised the samples up, but how high can I/should I go with that?
Thanks
ON EDIT: I changed this render, posted it way further along in the thread,just wanted to come back and replace this old one with the new one. I like the new one better, insofar as how it looks on other computers etc. The old one looked great on my HD monitor, but on a regular laptop it looked too dark.
Hey, I really love that. Thatās a very original concept and youāre pulling it off in a very interesting way. Cool colors! I never would have thought of that.
Eduroam, thank you. Yes I need to add a background. I really donāt have an appropriate one now. Still searching.
thanks hamburger, waters and Inky99! 
hereās an update.

So time for version 2, havent had the time at all to put the effort into this version that i woud have liked to but maybe i do for version 3 :).
Ackee - Thatās beautiful already! For the morning light, a little more color contrast (warm sun, cool sky fill) could help, maybe with some pinks and purples worked into the fill light. A lot of bounce light, where the light from the sun bounces back into the scene with a warm glow, could really help the happy feeling of the scene.

a compare to version 1

Hii Jeremy this is yogesh plz give me some suggestions on my posted image
