Back to the Ornament...

Well, after long time looking for museum to exhibit my ornament I finally got a candidate.
It's the Muzeul National de Arta al Romaniei and it will be shown at Pavilionul Sala Tronului

I wanted to better integrated the object to the room, so I initially thought to recreate some details at the ceiling (beam), but it turned out really useless (I couldn't make use of it in render as I wanted):


Now, into Kerkythea I spent some hours trying to find a nice light/color combination - hard task.
Some options I tried using the PhotonMap-Quick presset:

Wait a couple of minutes to get a result, store it and compare after is a big time consumption. The material also needed be tuned to match with the light settings. The maps created for PBR render didn't bring me the same result in Kerkythea.

I decided to change the approach and I masked the rendered image with omni lights and mixed it with Gimp:


As the photo has some grains I extracted a noise pattern from it and added to the rendered image:


A preview is here. Which one you think I should produce a full quality and big render?
