Rendering Critique

[cgirerd]

It is looking a lot better! The main areas I'd work on now are the cabinets and the ceiling. If it is too difficult to adjust the lighting placement so the cabinets are farther from the light source, then try changing cabinet material and/or reflectivity (maybe make them "dull" or "matte") to see if you can reduce their yellowish glow. Increase the emissivity on the ceiling - or if it isn't already, make it the same color as the walls first. That plus the emissivity might help reduce the grey cast.

You might also consider doing the "slab with an image" for your refrigerator (again, unless you are able to adjust the lighting in that end of the room) so that it doesn't look so white. Here's a kitchen where I did the slab/image trick for the refer. http://www.girerddesigns.com/project...6_kitchen4.jpg For the difference, here's one with the actual symbol where I had to tone down the reflectivity so I wouldn't get a glowing whitish rectangle... http://www.girerddesigns.com/project...Feb13_kit2.jpg

I also agree that the blue lights are overpowering as the rendering is now. If you added similar blues in plates, vases, pottery, other doodads on the counter or shelving, I think it might be okay.
