Here is the final render of this simple scene. There are 3 spotlights lighting art on the wall. Both can lights above the deer are spots, but the back one is set to "area light" and it illuminates the face of the cabinets. The sun is positioned to come through the windows and flood the floor and part of the right wall. It is set at 8.0 LM The daytime intensity of the backdrop is set to 8.0 This intensity will depend on the back drop image you use, if it is a darker image you will need a higher setting. As you can see there are three types of lighting at play (lights, sun and backdrop). Adjusting these give you control over the reality of the objects and textures in your scene.

This was the option Discovery Church went with.

Discovery Church wanted me to design the space in their sanctuary two ways, one showing the stage on the side wall and the other on the back wall. This image is side wall. They ultimately went with the back wall (verticle images)

I converted a Coors beer warehouse into a church, This was the design they went with, and now it is a thriving hub.

I added a two story office addition to this existing building...but still had to model the existing structure. Will be working on spicing up the exterior next. PS: Everyone should have their own front loader.

Challenges for this project were modeling the large beams overhead and importing the machines at a polycount that would not crash the program. Each machine had a polygon count of over a million. I ended up using Lightwave 3D to import them and gut them, and was able to bring the count down to about 16k per machine, and kept the mapping regions for materials intact. I have not yet created or applied textures to them, but for this project that was not important. It was important that the scale and placement were correct and now we can arrange them in the space as needed.
