Re: Wooden kitchen
Hi Pencilart,

What are your thoughts on adding a kick-board on the lower units, plus skirts on the upper units (so under cabinet lighting can be added without it being seen)?
I wasn't sure if black or wood colour kick-boards looked best, so I did a test using a flattened cube shapes for black kick-boards and wood texture wrapped flattened cube shapes for the upper cabinet skirts.

Sorry about the lady in the kitchen, she was just having some pizza and wine while getting ready to go out for the evening, I thought it was polite to let her stay and enjoy her meal so the pizza wouldn't go cold. biggrin


Firstly Uber render
Apart from the pizza and ladies skirt losing colours, I definitely prefer this version, the sparkly sink looks better than the grey version and ladies sparkly evening clothes look nice and more like fabric. smile


Then Advanced photo render
Colours are correct but everything looks a bit plastic, ladies clothes and skin (notice her shoulders) Not sure why a small part has rendered black on the ladies skirt with this shader?

Please will you be kind enough to add an upper corner unit too. smile

Hope you won't mind me asking, if you know that (when the same height is entered on model import) some of the kitchen units are different depths to others?

By the way your piece of furniture

always stood out from the rest on the 3D models page, for the amazing build quality and also because the rendered example looks so much nicer than the quick 3D view versions of other 3D models on the page, the rendered versions really help a user understand exactly how the piece of furniture will look in their final rendered scene.

Emmanuel, I used your excellent kitchen design for a point of reference while designing mine, hope you won't mind! smile
