this is my first try with both hdri and global illumination in one scene. it didnt finish rendering, it was taking way too long and i didnt have the patience. theres a few things that need to be fixed anyway. for one i put the wrong texture on the open cd player, the bottom part is suppose to be black and not silver. i need to work on the lighting a bit more. the shadows are kinda blotchy looking. and the reflectivity on the floor has to go. but so far i'm happy with the results. oh yeah this was modeled in max3.1, you can see the original max rendering in my gallery. when i fix all the mistakes this bryce rendering will blow away the max rendering, in my opinion.
