Thanks to all who offered specific rendering suggestions, they were helpful!

Whatt/Suvakas Please suggest some things to try/do in order to improve water in the scene above? Whaat Some of your areas of great knowledge and specialty relate to SketchUP and Skindigo so you can surely help with those. Suvakas In one of your most recent post http://www.indigorenderer.com/forum/vi...

Special Note:

All the above would not go into one post so it had to be split and then it could not be edited.

A later edit.

I am pleased to see that this has now been repaired.

After modeling it seems to me the lead characters are lights and settings which are definitely a mystery to me and apparently others. On the cabinets I have tried something less than pure white (what is the best RGB to use) but one of my problem seems to be lighting and getting a sharp image. At the...

Whaat Thanks for responding and comments related to generalities of render improvement. I am now dedicated to the water scene and I want it all - photoreal, quirky and bizarre. Never thought about it but in keeping with the INDIGO Image Gallery the best slot for my fit might be -sort of- “Fantasy”....

I am ready! What is the next step?

I tried to post a longer reply than now and could not. I then tried to reduce, by editing, the text in this total thread but in both cases I get the following message.

I think I generally follow what you guys are saying. My only preferance would be that once the scene hits INDIGO that everyone is working with the same scene. Can that work?

I think Stromberg has a brilliant idea. I mumbled something a little bit similar once before. So far, the scene suggested by Peterdchen appeals to me most "Something like a fully equipped appartment/office with A LOT of props, a lot of detailed things laying around..." A LOT could become to much but...

suvakas Unique suggestion! You ask "What suggestion do you exactly want?" Any suggestions, using SketchUP, Skindigo and/or Indigo, that would make this scene look like a real foto taken on the Mississippi river (or similar) at a location where the distant shore cannot be seen - thats all. For exampl...

No thoughts or suggestions by others

Have fun, find fault, tear um apart and suggest things to do/try that would cause improvements

Pibuz,
Today I received an email from the website below showing the currently featured image of the week (they feature really fine work) which instantly caused me to think of your kitchen which is far far superior.

Decided to run one more through before getting tighter and doing studies as suggested. Settings are about the same as before but pushed a little to see what changes would take place over the same render time. As always, very interested in thoughts and suggestions.

Thanks Whaat,
Ithought the material was already there and could not understand why it did not show up. Also I was not clicking the specific mat'l in SU but doing it took care of all

In SketchUP when I select a face then right click the drop down pops up and I see the Skindigo selection option. Typically, for example, I will see something like the following and click on “Edit” and can go on into Skindigo Material Editor and do whatever I choose to do related to the specific mate...
