Coffee Time

This scene was rendered entirely in Poser 11 Pro with raytraced reflections, depth of field effects, and an IBL lighting setup I created with Render Studio 2014. I wanted the lighting to look like a morning sunrise with very faint, mostly ambient interior lighting. The buildings in the background weren’t added in postwork, they are in the scene and rendered with a high-quality depth of field effect. The interior setting that I used had very low-quality materials and no curtains, so I fixed that by updating all of its materials and adding my own sets of curtains. I also created raytraced reflection style glass for the window with a soft/blurred reflection. I want to thank Lore-ly (IslandGirl) for her suggestion of how to create the crumbs for the cookies on the plate. I was going to use brushes to add smaller crumbs (from a suggestion by Anglu, thanks by the way!) but it was a little too much. The steam for the coffee was added with one of the brushes I found though. I then used some Photoshop actions and overlays in postwork to finish the piece.
