One picture with light coming from the venetian blinds. This one is supposed to be during daylight...

One question/suggestion: Did you use the Poser default camera setting of 30mm? It makes the room look a bit fish-eyed. Try setting the camera to 100mm or 110mm, which will make it look more real to the eye. Otherwise it's excellent!!! PS Do you actually have cigerette butts in the ashtray? That is a cool touch if I am seeing correctly.

Thanks. I used a more fish-eyed camera to try and show more of the room. It's totally opposite of the POV used in movies in that era, I know. And, yes, there are cigarette buts in the ashtray. There's one thing that doesn't belong to the set, which I forgot to mention: the fedora hat (in the upper right corner) - which is a prop from "misc. clothing"...

I'm very impressed!

Thanks all.
What's ETA ? (And the fedora hat is in the upper left corner) Also, this product should be in the RMP by next week.

Definitely interested in this one. Good job!

May I suggest moving the radiator/heater away from the wall with the door... It might be more sensible to put it on a wall adjacent to the exterior of the building, or an interior partition wall. Sorry... it's just the architect in me that's spilling out here. Fantastic set! :o) Cheers! M

Moe, yeah, you're right. But I never know where to put the heaters in my own place :)

:o) What about a couch? You never know when that blonde bombshell running away from a jealous boyfriend will need a place to curl up for a nap. :o) If you're open to suggestions, may I recommend that you put the heater on the wall below the wall hung lamp. Then you move the coat rack/hat stand beside the chest of drawers. If you flip the direction of your door swing (as indicated by the door knob), the door will then open "into" the room rather than towards the corner of the room and your light switch will become more accessible. A nice cordovan leather couch would look nice one the left side of that door. :o) Hope you don't mind all the critical input. These are only suggestions. You are on to a real winner here. :o) Cheers!

Moe, I don't mind critical input at all :) The fact is, the product is already in pending and close to release date, I hope. I'm taking notes of the feedback, though, for a future update. Thanks... Eduardo

I just saw it in the marketplace. Quickly stuffing it in my shopping cart. Pay day is next week. Must wait.


ratracer posted Wed, 06 July 2005 at 3:36 PM

yeah, it's at the RMP now :)
