Well done.

Hello,
Sorry for long time to answer...I was very busy (work!).
Here is the photo for comparison and a new render (not exactly what I hope, but the final one, because my computer is too slow to try another). Congratulations to everybody, very nice works! I especially like RaXX's work, the materials are "too perfect" but so nice, and there is a beautifull depht.
Good luck to all and thank you for this Challenge, it was very interesting.

That looks amazing tof! I love the little name on the side... It really finishes off the scene.

[Raxx]

Very good work guys, there's some quality stuff here

I won't be posting any new renders. I'd leave my computer to render for 10 hours to get half an image and discover that the materials or lighting don't look realistic after making major changes, and then I'd adjust it and render again hoping it looks better, and over and over. Took too much time and I can't leave my computer running 24/7 here

Good job Tof!

Raxx, it's a pity you can't make your images even more perfect...

Here is my final entry.

Original photo, my final image and the rendered images are attached below.

I rendered the AO pass (the upper-right image) separately to have better control over the amount of ambient occlusion and to cut down the render time.

The other 2 images are depth channel (bottom-left) and specularity pass (bottom-right). I rendered the specularity pass separately to add highlights to all reflective materials, but it is almost invisible in the final image ...
