More Test Renders

Camera 5 Test Renders Cont'd:

While tweaking the camera, I knew this shot was going to be my DOF camera. So, without thinking this was difficult, I went to attempt it annnnnd my book went to hell in a hand basket. I disable the camera/and focal point, still was blurry. It was the only thing blurry! I even went ahead and deleted the camera and focal point and redid the camera. Still a blurry cover. Went back to Modeler and not only redid the book, but downloaded another version of the cover for the book. STILL BLURRY! I scoured the internet for a solution, submitted on the Lightwave forum/discussion board and no resolution why this happened. So finally I submitted defeat and ultimately decided to Photoshop the cover onto the final render when the time came.

When all Hell broke loose.

Decided to move the umbrella holder a little more away from the door.

Camera 8:

I tweaked the light outside for this one to show the view for the outside

I wanted the sun in it, but then when I saw it, I decided against it.

Camera 9:

This one didn't need much tweaking...mostly cause I did a lot when doing the other cams. But that door needed a door knob. So I added one and redid the test render.

Camera 10: 

This was my first choice on the final camera...but I wasn't crazy about it, it seemed too forced. So I went with the other view below. 

I wanted to make sure I got more of the other wall across from the windows. 

Brought it down a tad, and noticed the chest was floating a tad. So I corrected that and died the lighting down a tad on the right couch.
