Bathroom

Nothing special. This was an attempt at using displacement again (pebbles) but I'm a bit disappointed with the result this time. The carpet in my last image was better, I thought. Something else I tried for the first time is to use textured emitters to illuminate the scene (see attached image). I'm quite happy with how this worked, especially by softening the highlights.

SOURCE: This image was inspired by the Boffi bathroom catalogue and I should also point to a much nicer version of this done by Tora of www.purender.com using Maxwell quite a while ago

you used a grey-scaled emitter from white in the middle to black on the edges? nice :)
The stones are the displaced parts? Well, they certainly wouldn't look half as good, if they where only bumpmapped, with this POV, seeing them from a quite flat angle.
Nice tub :)

Even if there exists a nicer version, this one is nice enough ! And the textured emitter thingy is smart also ;)

Great render.
The tops of the pebbles seem a little flat.
Upload to gallery?

Cheers Ono. Yep, the pebbles could have done with a bit more displacement. Again, working with Blender displacement is always a compromise. If you set the value too high without subdividing your mesh enough, the mesh starts showing ugly black lines due to smoothing errors. But in this case the scene wasn't too heavy (the pebbles are about 12 instances), so I could have divided and displaced a bit more.
