I was looking for a different style, not similar to our daily work with modern and minimalist design but a cosy one, a retro rustic, place with soft colors where I could stay for a long time.
It turned out to be a lot of fun as well as a bit of a technical challenge, cause i wanted to model everything(almost everything:) from scratch. The lighting is provided by a V-Ray DomeLight, using HDR skies by Vizpeople. Brick textures from Arroway with some corrections.
Modeling and rendering in 3ds Max 2014 and V-Ray 2,40 (need to upgrade). Post-work done in Photoshop
