Ok, another question here. Can i do a semi transparent, non specular material? Like curtain? If my memory servs me right, i never seen anything like it in pictures rendered in indigo, so i think i know the ansver already, but why not to ask, right? ^_^

Ah, what can i doo... Anyway, new render. Just few hours and denoised. But the tea came up to dark! Why? I didn't change setup of it's material and it's much darker then on other renders! T_T

I bet the darker tea and the too bright book are tonemapping tricks...

Kosmokrator> I do understand, but making background lighter is exactly what i don'n want to do. The fact is, it's too bright for me even now. I wanted the picture to be moody, but with this bright background it's not quite right. I think i will edit it later in photoshop and make it look the way i want it to be, cause i don't know how to do it in indigo. ^_^
I mean, it looks like the light rays never loose thier energy so they are lighting all environment equaly, no matter how far from light source it is...

So, another preview render.
This time it's edited in photoshop a little bit more. I couldn't find out how to make background darker, so i did it in postprocesing. Also the tea is lightened in postproc, but i don't like it very much T_T. Need to select it more carefully next time. It is not finam render, i want to have it much cleaner.

Yeah, i have found out that convert thingy already, but i had some problems with the material of tea so in the end i didn't use it. For some reason, tea on the plate was compleatly black while tea in the cup was green T_T
