now i like it. the way you have the light breaking through the dust is great. Looks like i'm looking into a room, the cat gives it that homely feel. Well done.

Thanks, CD, I'll play with it more when I actually wake up, this was just a bit of post done during my cofee time, will post more tonite after work and see what I can do to make it look better ! :)

I like cats, but i would say in this case, get rid of it, or make it like a statue (wich your are good at anyway). I don't think that the dust particles are very convincing, my opinion O_-

I don't see much dust anyway. :-) Get rid of the cat, increase the specularity and/or reflectivity on the drawer chest a bit and it will be excellent. And I like this POV much better.

Making the cat like a statue is a good idea...right now it looks sort of stiff and phony. Lighting is very well done as are the rest of the objects in the scene.

I like it a lot! Good work on the lighting.

I don't really like the dust. When I imagine a photograph like that there either isn't any dust actually visible or there is a lot of really fine grain dust. Your dust looks more like pixie dust to me. It would look great if it was smaller. That is a great image.

I like the improvements you made (except the cat) light and dust are just fine for me. But I preferred much more the older POV, it was more balanced. Go on you're doing well here!

Hey, thank you, ya all, lots of very nice suggestions, yep, I felt that cat needed to go, so I replaced it with statue (which I made some time ago), dust, dunno, my first attempt in UniverseImageCreator starfield effect, I'll see about that :)

I have regular render coming up in 30 minutes, no volumetrics and no all that fancy stuff, to give you guys updates on new objects in the scene, cuz I'm gonna need some feedback on composition itself, and when that's OK I'm gonna proceed to final render :D

Replaced cat with the statue, and I like it better already, added couple more models and moved everything around a bit, what do you ppl think about composition ? :D

Tonite I'm prolly gonna do "final gathering"(:P) thing with all bells and whistles turned on + volumetrics, hopefully it's gonna be done in less than 3 days, lol ! :D

I LOVE that cat! version 3 came out wery weel. I like light contrast and modeling. It worths a hot 20!

Awesome, its like one of those games see whats changed, lol, the painting on the wall is different ;P I really like it. Unfortunately, its real difficult to make a poser cat look real, I love the switch to the statue.

I think the original cat would have looked ok if it were just sitting and looking out the window. The paw up in the air and that wired look on its face was uncharacteristics, but the Statue is a good replacement.

I like the image in post 12 the most, of these images.

Looking very good.
