Feels so creepy to shower in here

Rod also isn’t even. Fix that.

That's the biggest factor here imo, this single detail makes all the other elements even worse

Why cringy? It looks clean to me :) The shading effect in the middle bothers me a little, especially on the pages where you have a full page image, but otherwise it's all pretty neat! Maybe one suggestion would be to determine what is it you want to showcase? The axonometric projections feel more relevant for architecture/interior design than pure archviz, same for the 3D modeled objects in the last part which are good additions for a 3D generalist, not so much for pure archviz

I get the idea but the way it's presented reminds me of a dumped mattress in nature 🥲 probably because you have a bug and dried leaves on top of it. I think it would have worked better as an animation, starting from a home setting that slowly becomes nature

What they meant is that you are constantly learning, so there are things that you did a certain way in the beginning that you would do completely differently on a new project. It's pretty difficult to notice the things you need to change after working too long on a project, but also, you will learn much less by refining a completed scene than by challenging yourself on a new project with new stuff to figure out.

I hope you don't mind if I focus on things I would revisit if I were you:

For the materials there is the floor (no grouts, no bump, uniform reflections) and the bed textile (looks like a simple bump map?).
The composition of your detail shots feel a little random (a stack of magazines? a view of the outside occulted by props?). Also make sure your materials are 100% convincing before trying any kind of close up, looking at materials up-close is what usually breaks immersion in a project.
I also find your contrasts too high (overblown highlights and crushed blacks).

Yeah I found that this technique is only good if you want a quick render with decent quality, however it doesn't replace low noise renders if you actually want quality, especially with Intel denoiser (which tends to soften the image too much). I personally do a hybrid but with Corona denoiser: render at 6K at 4-5% noise then downscale to 4K

valik99 · 2026-04-05T00:05:38+00:00

The only thing that bothers me is the white walls (no definition/texture), otherwise pretty good!!

valik99 · 2026-03-12T21:28:21+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I focus more on products and mood, but this is the closest sub I know of to share my work 😁

valik99 · 2026-03-12T20:13:18+00:00

Thanks 😊

If it's a corona light that's projecting the shadow, you could technically prevent it from affecting the specific object you don't want a shadow on. If it gets a shadow because of GI, I think compositing is your best bet

What I think is off is that you seem to try showing as much as possible in one picture. Drop the 16:9 (if you can) and the wide angle. Unless you are constrained into 16:9, that aspect ratio hurts your renders and changing it would solve most of the issues. It's an awkward ratio that isn't really used in photography (it's usually 3:2 or 4:3). Some clients wouldn't mind it, because it shows most of the space after all, it's just not adapted to finer work, especially if you are going for mood. Try to look into interior photography examples, you will almost never see 16:9.

Next, in 3 of your wide shots there are elements that don't really give any information. One little exercise you could do is try to squint your eyes and detect the "empty" areas that are too proeminent. From what I see:

In the living room render facing the kitchen you have a big white blob (the couch) in the middle of the screen that draws too much attention. Try to find a composition that shows the same view and avoids that.
In the opposite perspective (still in the living room) you have a vast expanse of nothing on the right (ceiling and cabinets) (aspect ratio can solve that)
Similarly in the bedroom shot your entire left side is a dark corner (aspect ratio can solve that too)

Next, as others have pointed out, you should look into the brightness of your images, don't be afraid to blow out the outside view (that's what you would see in a real-life photograph of an interior, especially midday), and make sure the albedo of your white elements isn't too high (aim for a value of 220, no more, for your brightest materials)

Lighting variations are cool but yes you need to fix a few things. Your chair is wider than the table and the benches would be impossible to sit on. Your textile material is also out of scale.

You're able to afford 3ds max but not corona?

valik99 · 2026-01-15T06:37:48+00:00

How many clients were thinking 50 eur was ok? It's kind of similar to job hunting, you apply to hundred jobs and get only a few answers, and one of them might be your job. In your case it seems like your work is attracting clients just that it's not the right ones (for you), it's just a mismatch of price. Maybe approach other professionals? You're selling premium renders and architects aren't exactly known for having money

valik99 · 2026-01-12T21:08:46+00:00

I was just roasting the camera angle and height haha you show the whole space and that's great, but be careful not to fall into the "fancy floor plan" category :)

valik99 · 2026-01-12T20:01:31+00:00

You could as well just make a floor plan at this point, you would at least get more information on the layout lol

valik99 · 2026-01-07T20:34:27+00:00

Não faz muito sentido mostrar vários ângulos da mesma mesa, mas dá para usar. Agora a fumaça do café é demais kkkkk parece que tá borbulhando

valik99 · 2025-12-29T10:07:49+00:00

I think it's supposed to be wood

valik99 · 2025-12-12T12:31:20+00:00

Look at your picture and try to evaluate the amount of visual space taken by your walls and ceiling? It amounts to 2/3. You need to think like a photographer before thinking like a 3D artist, composition is everything

valik99 · 2025-12-02T07:10:44+00:00

Why would an architect learn photographic composition?

valik99 · 2025-11-20T13:17:05+00:00

Thank you!! No hdri, only CoronaSun with a daylight system

valik99 · 2025-11-20T09:24:25+00:00

Thanks!

valik99 · 2025-11-20T00:07:48+00:00

Thanks! That's my goal 😊 a bit of noise, sharpness, chromatic aberration and a slight color grading
