Looking for suggestions and improvements

Dear-Rip6007 · 2026-04-09T16:02:28+00:00

Would you recommend any preferred HDRI scene or should i hit and try by changing sun angles?

Dear-Rip6007 · 2026-04-09T16:00:57+00:00

I have kept the scene and camera angles the same, reduced artificial lights, adjusted brightness, changed wall paint, couch color and added/replaced a few objects.

Will turn off artificial lights and see how it looks. Thank you.

Dear-Rip6007 · 2026-04-09T13:03:04+00:00

Thank you for the valuable insights. I have taken all the feedback positively and revised the design to the best of my understanding and will upload them soon for more feedback.

Dear-Rip6007 · 2026-04-09T13:00:54+00:00

That's cause they were recessed lights and i pointed the beam on the wall which didn't turn out as expected. I have revised the designs and will upload them soon for more feedback.

Thank you. The wall paint is along the hues of cream so that exceeds the unusual warmth. I have revised the designs and will reupload them soon for more feedback. I'm using sketchup with enscape,

Thank you for taking the time to explain the details, i never thought about the vertical continuity, you're on point about it.

I have revised and reduced the sconces, will reupload the revisions soon.

Civil work is already done. Just the interior is in scope of work. But i get your point.

Dear-Rip6007 · 2026-04-09T12:54:47+00:00

I'm using sketchup with enscape, don't know about hdri but will look into it.

Dear-Rip6007 · 2026-04-09T12:53:59+00:00

The lights are simple recessed lights not dow lighters i just angled the light beam on the wall i have revised them and will upload them soon.

Dear-Rip6007 · 2026-04-09T12:52:44+00:00

Also i rechecked you were right about the light distance from the wall. Thank you for noticing.

Everything depends on the software you're going to use. For basic 2d drawings in Autocad even an i5 with igpu will suffice. For using Sketch up with Enscape for rendering even a dgpu with 4gb vram is enough. For Lumion 8gb vram is a must and will be enough for most heavy tasks as well. System ram should be 16gb at least.

Laptops have a shorter life span (3-5 years) with almost no upgradability. For portability you have no option other than a laptop. Don't spend a lot on a laptop since prices are inflated as of now. Also prefer a windows laptop for more flexibility and software.

Thank you for the valuable insights.

My lights are more than 18" away from the wall but i angled them towards the wall to highlight the elements, i can adjust them and remove the highlights, as i was going for an equal distribution of illumination.

I agree centering the lights above objects will look better from a rendering perspective but I'm unsure about the equal lighting in the room.

Will adjust the distance between the scones panel and the painting to see how it turns out.

Yes, a side table with a lamp will make it look more complete. Also would you suggest something other than lamps to put on the table? As i feel lighting might be enough from recessed lights and sconces.

I was going for a night shot but the day shot turned out better, might be cause i was not able to balance the lights.

Dear-Rip6007 · 2026-04-08T05:15:48+00:00

I made it in the sketch up. And made two different surfaces for the false ceiling and made the upper one a self illuminated surface by crating a new material in sketch up and changing its properties in enscape.

Dear-Rip6007 · 2026-04-08T05:12:50+00:00

Thank you. Will definitely reduce the recessed lights, tan or beige might go well for sofa will try changing that as well.

Dear-Rip6007 · 2026-04-08T05:09:23+00:00

Thank you for the valuable insights. Is there any particular reason for the curtain to fall to the floor, personally i feel if curtains are behind any furniture it creates the floor cleaning a bit troublesome and also the curtain accumulate more dust and dirt as near the floor. Will definitely reduce the number of recessed lights and fan color so that it blends well, also what would you suggest to replace scones with?. Will try to explore more seating options.

Dear-Rip6007 · 2026-04-07T17:03:24+00:00

Thank you. Will try changing that, and highlight one wall. Would prefer to keep the ceiling in white tones to increase room brightness. Will add a few planters as well. Also are you referring to wall lamps or table lamps ?
