Transparent display stands
Olias:
I love the stands, they look great.
The vases and pictures on the wall look superb.
My main crit would be (and I encountered this myself those times I attempted to do an interior room) is that the border between floor/wall and celing wall looks too perfect, because well, it is a perfect line.
I'd put a tiny curve there or, even better, some crown and baseboard molding would really cap it off great.

Sorry for being obtuse lynn!
The lighting setup in the shot is giving dark nicely defined shadows. This indicates a dominant intense source of light. It's not likely however to be as bright as the light outside. I think you would find some darker shadows on the window wood, not just the architrave, specially in the bevels. Probably a small bump map would help.
I think the specular reflection on that right hand urn needs to be increased because of the lght source indicated by the shadows. Specular reflection in this case being a small bright area of light cooincident to the line of light as would be seen to be reflected from a perfect mirror.
Amyways, that's my opinion.
It's your museum. Great work!

Hey lynn22 I found you web site listed in your profile
and am just now checking it out "very impressive"
at a glance i really like the snow man. keep up the great work ;)
oh ya i've got one somewhere also (homepage)
ENSONIQ5:
That is a big improvement Lynn22, the curtains look much better and I think the larger radius curve on the stands looks more convincing. The skirting boards (twixt floor and wall) improve the image considerably, and perhaps (as mentioned by Olias) a plaster moulding between wall and ceiling would also help. I understand the need to keep polys low, but as previously mentioned it really is shadows/lights/AA that slow things down more than poly count. I guess it is a case of balancing realism against the very real need to keep render times down, especially for animations. Anyway, really great work and I look forward to seeing this project unfold.
lynn22:
Thanks again guys !
I guess that I have the set-up finalized now .... or not ? See below (the second room) ;)
floyd86 : I tried the wall bumpmap but then the walls demand too much attention and distract the viewer from looking at the objects on display. It's a good idea that I will keep for another project.
Olias & ENSONIQ5 : I added the plaster moulding and it looks better, it "frames" the picture.
headwax : you never, I am the obtuse one for I didn't get what you meant ;D
I cranked up the specular and specially in a close-up it makes all the difference.
