Hi Sepo,
Maybe you missed from the original post that we got the ceiling panel images from that website. Thanks.

Attempting to material this building to match the original 1:1 would be umm... no fun to say the least. :rofl: I will pass, thanks.

It's more about lighting, beauty, some good materials (within reason of SU's capabilities), but mostly about having fun.
Thanks for the comments!

However... If you are feeling generous - feel free to create all the material images one would need, and post them here, and I will see about mapping them in. :halo:

OK...maybe I misunderstood. I thought you wanted to make realistic render. BTW I find lighting inseparable from materials. Good lighting + bad mats = bad render, Bad lighting + good materials = bad render.
Anyway I did not mean offense Just ignore my previous post..

does bad materials = not the exact materials as the original building?

I find, in my experience, that good lighting makes up for a LOT... not saying it will be a great render just because the lighting is good, just saying it will turn a bad render into a decent one quite quickly.

Awesome lighting. :^: I really like those "blows" of light just like you were a painter.
