I prefer the first one and let me say the model is encouraging me to give it a try using TWr or KT

[majid]

I used Low+ with fine anti aliasing so there are some color leaks here and there but I like the overall mood.

Thanks majid

I used 2 IES bulbs in the lamp. This is probably why my image came out darker than yours.

Are you using the latest version of TW?

I am currently using the free version, but I was a Beta tester for V2. I guess I got side tracked. The Chris, and Fletch team did an awesome job.

I added another window. Multiplied sun power and also sky power, and finally adjust the image using builtin tools.

Majid, the lighting / mood is fantastic there!

mgiambrone43, I think this one is my favorite of the two:

my attempt at an edit... just for a conversation starter.

[mgiambrone43]

Fletch!!

Did you also render the model or did you edit the image??

If you rendered the model, what did you use for lighting? IES, spot?

I am using Adobe CC 2015 for post, but I don't have any Topaz stuff. Looks like it does a great job.

I simply edited your image.
I discovered many years ago that tone mapping an image is just as important as good lighting, materials, and model itself. It's part of the image rendering process.
In the movie industry there's usually one or two people who do only this job on every frame in the movie for continuity/consistency.

Topaz plugins may seem expensive, but they are worth every penny - I use them every day.
