I am still learning Kray, attached is an old scene that I am testing on.

Looks appealing, too small resolution to really nitpick about. A crit would be the lacking floor, the absense of small detail that is, carpet needs depth and a plant curtains would be nice too. The wood texture on the chairs is better set to world coordinates if its not UV Mapped, its too much of an exact copy now. Further, missing reflective shiny stuff to make it stand out. Oh here i go nitpicking anyways

But in general i quite like it

Maybe some additional close-up angles?

cheers

Thanks, I need all the help I can get. Kray so far has not come easy for me.

Very nice render! The only thing that bothers me is the carpet that looks realy low res.

Nice surfacing otherwise!

Thanks Jure for your encouragement. I purchased the Kray content/Tut. Are you part of that? Anyway it helped me move in the right direction looking at how you set up your interiors in Kray. I have a long way to go yet but I feel finally starting to slowly get it.

It is actually a production of me and Johny Quick.

The render looks good btw, but I'm not seeing any contact shadows in the chairs hitting the ground, maybe they are too much inside the floor? Also the low resolution carpet makes it hard to see that...

Wood texture is a bit low res too on the shelves, but other than that it's quite nicely lit up already, just polish up the texturework and it's there.
