Description
This is another repost of a Blender piece I did a little over a year ago. You can see the original here if you've a mind to.
I did all the modeling from scratch in Blender, except for the statue, which is Einzie1's work. (Thanks, Darlin'!)
It's the same image as before, just postworked in Photoshop.
This started out to be an exercise in making a lamp. The hard part isn't making the lamp look lke a lamp - that's just modeling. The hard part is making the light come out the top and the bottom so it looks real. I was reasonably happy with the result, and then of course I couldn't leave it alone ... and it turned into a whole room! I never really plan these things - they just sort of happen. (Check out the reflection of the lamp and the table in the window!)
The garden you see through the window is a photograph of my garden, taken in late April or early May a couple years ago. The texture on the pillows on the sofa and chair are photographs of needlepoint projects I've done myself. There's a lot of personal detail in this, which kept me amused for quite a while! :)
Fun stuff! :)

I can see you have spent a lot of time (fun time I hope) with this Tara, i checked out the original and yes i think this is more appealing, I like the added contrast to the whole image like the HDR thingy. Well done, you are good at this!
Wish I had the knowledge and time to do this type of work...quite a difference between the first one and this one..your efforts and multitalents really show.. nice......
Love seeing both images, this is warmer and more inviting and I'm coming on in, that's me at the door now!! Really nice stuff here, Tara!!
Brilliant work!! wish I could do something like this- well done!!
The reflections, the garden, the pillows, the picture on the wall, all of it ...brilliant. Your talent just knocks my socks off! Seriously, you are one talented lady.
I really like being able to compare the old and new. Switching back and forth it looks like the new one has been sharpened; it just seems to be more real. I can see that there is a lot of you in here, Tara; this is excellent work.
WOOOW ! I see the different. Beautiful both of them, but the new one has more volumen if I may say so. Exxxxxxcellent work Tara. I am not familiar with the program Blender3D.... now you make me very curious. Can you actually make your own models in it, like lamps and furniture and so???
I admire your patience!! It's superb and very interesting, and great to hear how you did it. The only trouble with this sort of art for me is that one is tied to the computer...with get yer hands dirty art I can be outside or in the sun in the studio. Top marks to you, Tara!
Very clean and lovely scene... excellent work dear Tara! This version definitely is an improvement. Better on the eyes and more realistic for sure.
Brilliant work
wow what a talent you have both with photography and this kind of work, this must have taken hours but heck it's paid off, i love the reflection from the lamp also love the garden it's all excellent top marks cj xx
Excellent render this is quite remarkable Tara!...Full marks for all the work you put in :)
I can't comment sensibly on the technique [just my ignorance of 3D art] but I can say I'm impressed by the final result. Excellent. Mike
I love all the little touches of "you" ....and i recognize the pic on the wall too :o) Most excellent dear T !!!!
Very well done Tara...it has such a warm glow to it.
excellent
Belissima obra,magnifica realização, aplausos (5)
Splendid POV, lighting and postwork remodeling of this demure and elegant living room, my friend! It would easily make the cover of House and Garden magazine. BTW, you could do all the Photoshop, Blender and Dogwaffle at your command, but never get my living room to look this beautiful.
Love that work !
Fantastic image!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is so cool, Tara May such warmness to it beautiuful capture sweet sunshine to you warm hug, Linda Kaye
Such fantastic work Tara... incredible... for me!;-)
amazing work, stunning realism along with elegant design, very inspiring!
this is a wonderful room you made
This is just lovely. I thought it was a photo until I read your comments. Excellent work.
Wow............I am so unfamiliar with blender.......but this is really great! You must have spent hours on it! The only diff I can see is heightened colour in the second one.........right?
Amazing image, Tara. It's obvious you had a great time creating this ... the attention to detail is fantastic. Brilliant!
Very nice job.....clean and clear. Aloha
wonderful work:)
a very nice work !!!
